  • 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.

    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.
