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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
