The Royal Enfield Classic 350 | A legend is history. A legend is reborn | PowerDrift
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Varun Painter takes you on a trip through time. A trip that sees the Royal Enfield Classic 350 establish itself as a dominant force in the Indian premium market from its genesis in 2009. And today, it’s being replaced by an all-new motorcycle that has no choice but to look almost exactly like the old one. That’s power, right there. Here’s our quick homage to one of the most iconic motorcycles of our time.

Same thing with the twin engine.. Triumph And Harley Davidson watch out. The fact is I used to hate RE, now I respect the brand and the leader for making it internationally acceptable product.
The current Generation classic looks more vintage than previous
Still remember the "Kadak Chai" review of the old Classic 350 by Varun. Too bad we can't recreate the kick start scene with the new one!

I liked how the older classic allowed riders to be sloppy. Sloppy with gear changes, sloppy with throttle, and it somehow still managed to keep moving. I absolutely adored it for this laid back and undemanding nature. Will the new one fit that criteria ?

Varun bro you nailed this👌👌😎😊 Royal Enfield should pay PD for this awesome one😊
due to the lighting conditions, the tank is reflecting a black chrome kinda vibe..they should also have that color
Only a classic can challenge a classic, no H'ness or Jawa can do so... Varun you did a good presentation but would have loved if this was done by Shumi or Kartikey. We need classics to present classic.

Guys who hate RE classic, just don't get it. As Uncle Stuart says, Classic is not the fastest, the modern, the electrowizardy, the prettiest, the powerful. Its not about all the above things. Its for those who don't want to prove anything to anyone. Who love to be self absorbed, self feel good attitude. The riders "अपने ही मस्ती मे मस्त रहते है ". Even if a KTM whizzes past us, the classic rider doesn't give a c-rap. Even if there is a Ninja or Versys around, the classic rider doesn't bat an eyelash. Even a premium car doesnt bother the classic riders. The rider may get angry now and then, but the peace and calmness sets in quickly!! Hope you guys get the point.
Although there ia the new one But i still love my old Classic 350 signals WITH A KICK
Ummmm.....i really dont think people who understand and njoy the classic would be keyboard warriors. A classic owner doesnt get worked up when a group of ktms pass through...he just smiles and then get back to being immersed in the dug dug....yours truely, a classic owner
