Great review, the Bullet looks like a great bike for someone who wants vintage vibes and modern reliability. It must be so enjoyable riding that bike on those beautiful country roads. Thank you.
The Maroon one looks great. Good review, thanks. I agree, it looks like a real classic. I sat on one & at over 6 foot it feels good to me. Sounds great.
I've got Maroon colour less than month ago. Got 1500 miles on it already despite a spotty weather. Most interesting thing that it is completely different bike after that 1500 miles than it was once I've got it. I don't know if other bikes exhibit such a difference in behaviour before and after running in, but I feel the progression like the bike is maturing with me.
Good work! It is very useful to show how the big mudguards do a fabulous job in the dirtiest roads we know of. Spring is brutal! I have never seen this demonstrated on UA-cam before! Thanks!
The 350J engine improves it's performance once run in after about a 1000km. Also, a free flow air filter improves the acceleration especially mid range.
Lana that was an excellent review. I nearly brought a 650 RE but the lack of fairings meant i chose a Ninja400 instead. My big bikes dont get ridden anymore and i think the majority of people are better off on a smaller bike. They also cost so little to run. On my big bike the expensive tyres are shagged at a maximum of 3000km.
Thanks Lana. Even with your update, I think the new Bullet had held up pretty well to the wet conditions , and is more suited to wet roads being of less power it will eliminate a few types of accident involving losing grip on the rear tyre. The bike is nearly identical to the original which I think is a definite plus and ideal for cruising with friends.👍
There's a handle at the top of the lefthand rear shock for putting the bike on the centrestand, so you don't need to get your hands dirty under the mudguard. Thanks for doing this review, it does help potential buyers.👍 You look very glamorous walking around with the mic! 😜😘😘
Beautiful genuine review, Lana. Just thought it'd be good to know that there is a luggage hook you can hold to centre stand this bike. Also about the clutch and brake levers, they're adjustable - so you can (using hex key) pull them closer according to your hands.
Well done. Honest enough review. This is the new Bullet. What you were pointing at were the pilot lights and headlamp nacelle, just the same as the old Bullet design going back to the 1950s. As many keep saying though, we need another 500cc Bullet. A bigger version of this engine would do it, but R.E. in there infinite wisdom, think we all want what India wants. (350cc or below is the biggest seller of all makes in India.). Come on R.E., annouce a new 500 Bullet. I'm itching to treat myself to my first ever new machine! 👍🇬🇧💯😃💡
Ironically enough, I believe Siddarth is moving more towards the Ebike from RE. Have you seen it? Rumor has it California will be All electric cars by 2030. This has to be affecting countries worldwide. Darn kids went by me on electric bikes with helmets on, and they were flying.
There are rumours that BSA are about to release a 350cc version of their 650cc Gold Star, that would be in competition with the Bullet 350 for home market sales as the 350cc class is very popular in India.
Hi! Does it require regular cleaning especially the chain & spokes from sand and other things? Secondly, did you notice water seeping inside the fuel tank even when the cap lid is locked, during this climate?
Are we able to use on dual carriageway and motorway / cross country on this motorcycle comfortably. Let me know. I’m a returning biker , what I’m planning is start with royal Enfield 350
A very nice and informative video, which I enjoyed watching immensely. I was wondering - have you, or anyone else you know, taken the 350 Bullet down the motorway? If so, then how does the engine cope with 70 -80 mph, for extended periods of time? The reason I'm asking is that, if I bought one, I'd quite like to take it over to France on LeShuttle, and do some 'light' touring. I would very much appreciate your opinion. Many thanks for your time and efforts. Warmest regards, Neil (Warwickshire).
Are the tube tyres that come with this motorcycle reliable, or puncture prone? Also I like the colour of base variant that is military black but it comes with single channel ABS, is that okay or better to go for dual channel ABS?
I think they are doing most things right except for the engines being underpowered. How hard could it be to get say another 10 HP out of that motor with a bit of tweaking?
Think they are or have brought a 500cc out , not certain 🤔 My mates got a 350cc Classic and loves it , but it depends what you want out of a bike , there great for bimbling round on , the 650cc parallel twin obviously more powerful but are a lump of a bike .
Probably can't pass emission norms then. You can get 5 hp more if you remove the intake snorkel and the cat con and add a FuelX. Changing the camshaft also helps.
i have seen manny drive a motor for manny years but the can still not make a U turn . i like to see a video , when you make a u turn on a road 6meter on the royal enfield
Just hate that so many modern cycles have so much black on them. I see it as ugly. Benn riding since 1982, and on two occasions, I nearly was hit and killed. Both times the first words from their mouth was sorry I did not see you. I want chrome and bright colours for my bike now.
I have literally just come back from seeing a dealership full of RE bikes. They looked tawdry, cheap, insubstantial and poorly designed/finished. Why anyone would buy them when you can get an excellent nearly new decent Japanese bike (honestly ANY Japanese bike!). I seriously doubt it would last two winters……. and the depreciation over a few years will be way lower than the Enfield.
I brought one as a second bike and it gets more outings than my bigger bike. Personally I think that 350 engine is a peach!
Yes brother RE is actually working on a 650 version of the bullet and classic using the 650 twin engine
Great review, the Bullet looks like a great bike for someone who wants vintage vibes and modern reliability. It must be so enjoyable riding that bike on those beautiful country roads. Thank you.
Great review, i have a classic 350 which is basically the same bike. I've had it over a year and I love it.
The Maroon one looks great. Good review, thanks. I agree, it looks like a real classic. I sat on one & at over 6 foot it feels good to me. Sounds great.

In the USA, the 500cc single cylinder "Thumper" is mandatory!
When you popped the bike onto the centre stand it didn't look like you used the grab handle provided for this purpose, its quite easy when you do.
Good work! It is very useful to show how the big mudguards do a fabulous job in the dirtiest roads we know of. Spring is brutal! I have never seen this demonstrated on UA-cam before! Thanks!

Splendid review. You’ve done a very practical evaluation.
Thank you :)

Looks a great bike. Look forward to the review. Envious!
Great video - Nice bike, very stable ride!
I swapped for adjustable levers, more ergonomic and less tiring on the wrist.
Another good video ,well done sensible clear and to the point.
Beautiful genuine review, Lana.

Ah, thanks for this, this is good to know, Alex
Good to see you out in the winter. Is that car park on the road to Woldingham? There's some great lanes around there for chugging around in.
Yes, you got it, Woldingham car park :)

If they come out with a 500cc again, I hope they make the same improvements to that engine as they've done with the 350s.
They really should make a 1200cc version of this bike, and I like to make pointless observations...
That's absurd. Anything less than 2200cc would be woefully underpowered.
Hi, nice review thanks. Good point about the headlamp being attached to the forks 3:19.
There are rumours that BSA are about to release a 350cc version of their 650cc Gold Star, that would be in competition with the Bullet 350 for home market sales as the 350cc class is very popular in India.
I believe you can upgrade the engine power which would make it more usable
Get a custom silencer which is famous in India. You'll get the thump and raw feel of the engine.
A very informative review 👍 viewers also like to know how the bikes makes you feel ? Have you bought this bike ? 👍
On the bars would a riser be an idea and maybe roll the bars back just a bit
This the ideal condition imo
immortal Bikes lovely
is this bike good start to new beginners?

I reckon you’d suit the Hunter 350 better.
I want to know which place is this and which month
Surely they make the iconic 500 bulletins well? Don t they ?
cool!
Nice 👍

Always go for dual-channel, worth every penny.

@@carlarthur4442Yeah, the 650 twins are quite nice. The new chassis is pretty good too.
Nice ❤❤video from India
The number plate is too small, govt should make it little bigger.
🤣
good
Felt a bit like the weather review
It did feel a bit like that from my perspective, too. Hence the thoughts about how it influenced my impression of this bike.
Roll on Summer!
i have seen manny drive a motor for manny years but the can still not make a U turn . i like to see a video , when you make a u turn on a road 6meter on the royal enfield
Huh. Yuh think?
nice looking bike but so underpowerd
Just hate that so many modern cycles have so much black on them. I see it as ugly. Benn riding since 1982, and on two occasions, I nearly was hit and killed. Both times the first words from their mouth was sorry I did not see you. I want chrome and bright colours for my bike now.
Racist /s
You are looking beautiful and I love you visit in India
Take the muffler off and thing will be actual royal
Iindian army used bike only bullat
ok all verry nice , but i like to see you make a U turn on a road from 6 meter wide . can you do it ???
Yes, easily. It's actually got a really great turning circle. I was surprised, too.
I bet Lana can!
Lol you have clearly never ridden one ... they have a tiny turning circle ... try to have a roadtest on one :-)
Your Facebook account looks like it was hacked
Hey, why do you say that? The Channel's one? Alex
Your page on FaceBook had the name changed and is showing some chick’s journey in her van. It’s no longer bikes.
I have literally just come back from seeing a dealership full of RE bikes. They looked tawdry, cheap, insubstantial and poorly designed/finished.

Hiii beauty 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really nice bike the bullet 😊👍
Like you I have long hair. I always tuck it in out the way. How do you keep yours clean in that crappy weather?
