Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs Bullet 350 | Genesis vs Revival
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the most important modern bike from Royal Enfield. It played a crucial role in helping the company stay afloat and avoided bankruptcy. Such has been its impact that it still remains the most popular Royal Enfield bike on sale in India. But when one thinks of Royal Enfield as a motorcycle brand, the first image that comes to mind is that of the Bullet 350. The Bullet is synonymous with Royal Enfield and holds the distinction of being the longest motorcycle in continuous production. A few month back we got the 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350, a new motorcycle based on the J-platform and with this transition the UCE power plant ceased to exist. In this comparison video we find out which is the better classic Royal Enfield bike, the Bullet 350 or the Classic 350? Genesis or revival? This is a tale of a classic sibling rivalry.

everyone says that bullet is copy of classic. But the classic design came from bullet only. What were the differences before? The same.

5:25 Only you guys explicitly highlight the 25 mm taller handlebar; no other channel has mentioned it.
Too good a video. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
The last line makes the catch..log isko bullet hi bolegi 😂
I really enjoyed your video ;D
very cool video guys
Last year I bought a Halcyon Green Classic. It got destroyed in a collision sadly but I held on after the insurance payout to get the Maroon Bullet.

We're u safe without major injuries? Head on collision ?
Awesome as always guys😊 what a great view, what's the shoot location?
Love the top model Black color of Bullet, but lack of tubeless option is the concern..
Amazing show - thank you! Comparison of rear fenders is missing though 🙂
Think I will go with the Bullet
The Bullet seat feels hard initially but on a long haul the classic seat drops and is a pain in the ass to ride. Looks wise the classic is for suit wearing lawyers and the Bullet is for criminals and police. So choose your pick.

Well said bullet is for rugged, classic is for modern men.
Cool video! Let's face it, they are the same bike. It's the looks and the name that push me to the Bullet. Although I am worried about flat tyres, the Classic I would choose would be a spoke wheeled one too.
When you really don't have anything to differentiate but you stollgot to do it. But it was a much needed review.
Which Location is this it's beautiful
I'm from the USA, and I found out about the Bullet 350 on Enfield's website. The heritage angle is really well done, and very cool. Harley Davidson has been selling their entry level 'Sportster' model for over sixty years for just that reason. (My Dad still thinks it's a 'sport bike'! 🤣😂😍)
@acko drive... Thanks a lot guys the comparison video was best, #bullet350
the classic in halcyon black 🥰
What about the thump? Is bullet better than the classic for the thump sound?
I like the name Bullet and its colors also, but like the Classic as a bike!
True they both are similar in technical specs. But they're both different.
Thanks for the new confusion, Now I can’t choose between bullet or classic 😮.
Both are similar. Only difference is split seat with spring. Atleast this time the bullet doesnt have a slimmer back tyre
7:45 this j series is, though, acceptable in bullet but not the back mudguard which is made much shorter than old bullet.
What's making same weight in both bikes, even Bullet's mudguard is shorter than Classic?
02:19 Is the front mudguard slimmer in the classic or in the bullet? Please clarify.

The Classic has slimmer mudguards, the Bullet ones are slightly flared and boxy ends.

@@ackodrive Thank you very much Sir for taking the time to reply. Enjoyed the Jugalbandi. I want the Bullet but in the classic's Chrome Red colour way. Please Please Please tell me that you have a solution. If I have to travel on foot to RE's Chennai plant from my city Hyderabad ,for RE to take notice then I will. Kindly relay my message to Royal Enfield.
What is the crank weights of both
Nice video, I have clasic 350, 2016 model
Both bikes look great.
Mostly competitive honest bike review. Shout-out to the commentators.
What about the alloy? Bullet have any alloy option??
I had a classic 500, now I’m buying a bullet 350 in maroon colour
I bought a Bullet for the matte black motor and overall lack of chrome. Easier to maintain and retains the throwback look.
Classic 650 is going to be the bike to have!
Which one rides comfortably? Only question. I mean seat and suspension.

Both are great, Bullet just has slightly better stock seat and taller bars
RE should have introduced the new J-Series with the Bullet 350. The two and a half year absence broke the uninterrupted production run of the Bullet name. They should have launched it along side the Classic and then introduce the Meteor and Hunter later.

The Bullet wasn't absent for 2½ years though, it was sold with UCE350 alongside all of J-series 350's. Only recently did this make the switch to J-series.

Even now the old bullet is standing in the RE delivery Centers, still it is available. for those who booked it and not completed the process. every time i ask them they say it is booked and no more old bullets.....
Sad that bullet not giving tubeless tyres..in classic also the tubeless tyre model is high in price side
Hi sir Which wheel type is best for Bullet. Alloy wheels or Spoke wheels. Could you please tell me

Spokes look cool but will be a pain to fix a puncture. Alloys are more convenient but don't give that retro feel. Now that's what you have to decide what you seek convenience or visual appeal.

You guys forgot to mention one big point. Classic dark series comes with tubeless tyres. Dragging a punctured bullet in the middle of road was something that made me sell my bullet es 350.

They’re basically the exact same bike since seat and handlebar can be easily changed later. Just go with the color way you like. I personally choose a black/silver Bullet cuz it’s the most basic looking and the cheapest one.
Personally i prefer the Bullet although i own a Meteor and would not swap that for either.
I would prefer the bullet but the question would be the following, which of the two is better to ride in a city ? is the bullet comfortable to use all day long in a city ? or is the classic or the hunter better ? Greetings from Argentina

Classic is better in terms of ride quality pickup & throttle response. However no matter you buy a classic 350 or a bullet 350. Your neighbour will gossip "padosh wale uncle jee ka beta bullet kharida hai "
One major difference is the back mudguard which makes classic look much better than bullet

Looks are subjective..everyone has different taste.
Both are slight identical...Classic is name, however bullet is emotion..
Classic.... Handles better so may be i would pick classic.

I have no attachment to the history of the RE motorcycles. I have sat on all of the RE 350 models available in the USA. I find the seated position of the Bullet the most comfortable. I thought that I would prefer the Meteor. I like the appearance of the Classic the most. My purchase would be the Bullet. The reason is because the hadlebars are taller. If there were replacement bars that were two or three inches taller that would fit on the Classic, I might prefer the Classic.
Both at the price point are awesome, Bullet is a Cult whilst Classic is very good commuter
Any pressure on the Balls ?

Bullet is so unique ❤ . And it's a emotional 🥹

Bullet is buleet but the classic is classic.
Bullet is father Classic is bigger son which resembled some DNA from bullet Meteor, interceptor, Himalayan etc were smaller son who went in different schools.. some went to gym and built their body But in the end Bullet still is the father of all
Bullet is brilliant but classic is genius.
The title should have been “not much of a difference “ !!
No matter what all naming is used by RE classic meteor thunder Bird interceptor 😅its always called a bullet
Bullet is for rugged man Classic is for modern man.
Mujhe splendor pasand hai. Q ki bullet ke paise jama nhi ho rahe.
Bullet is better specially Maroon colour
Eod all the other models used or derived from the very own BULLET
Rear mud guard of new bullet is very small and awkward.

RE is not an emotion, It's confusion these days.
Classic 350, Electra 350 and standard 350 have the same machine
Bullet❤😊
Classic is the best ❤

BULLET 👑🤞
The Classic has rear disk breaks and the Bullet has a drum rear break. I had the 500cc bullet and it came with a kick start, and what a way to start your ride, kick starting a bike, it did have a electric start but most of the time I used the kick start, just brought back a lot of old memories. If they came out with a 500 cc with a kick start, I would have one, even it they put a kick start on the 350 would make it more tempting, I also like the heal toe shifter, they should at least have it as a option. itching for a new bike and want a single just something about a single cylinder with a kick start.
Honda is beautiful Royal Enfield in every single aspect though 😭😭😭😭😭‼️‼️‼️
Classic lo ya bullet log use bullet hu bolenge. Koi ye nahi bolega ki classic liya hai log bolenge bullet ki pari ?
Bullet is better
CLASSIC 350 KING 👑
I am ok with Classic.
