  • Oh dear, this is a controversial topic. I put a windscreen on my NEW Royal Enfield Classic 350 and in this video I give a bit of a review and explain why.

    If you like it then who cares 👍what anyone thinks. I like my 350 without a screen for the simple reason that I have two other bikes with screens and enjoying riding without one, but must say I like it on yours 👍

    I love having a windscreen. Here in Oregon USA, you do a lot of high speed riding. That constant wind pressure is really fatiguing. Even a small windscreen makes a huge difference. I have one made by Asahi in Japan that is an old style with a olive drab canvas skirt, I think it would be perfect on a signals bike.

    Hi, I'm all about functionality over presentation, I do a lot of riding on my 350 (rode 1500km back from the dealership with my partner) and everything on my bike is about comfort (didn't get on with touring seat) and practicality; yes I have a handlebar oiler fitted. Real riding is not about just looking (pretty) good 🤪

    I agree with the comfort provided by the windscreen especially on long highway rides. But I couldn’t dismiss the constant buzz in my heart that my bike lacked character due to the windscreen. No logic in that but just a feeling that I couldn’t dismiss however hard I tried

    I road tested 3 Enfields yesterday after not riding a motorcycle for 15 yrs. The first was the Classic and I felt a bit wobbly & vulnerable above 40mph. The Hunter was a little better whereas I loved riding the Himmy which felt really stable & confidence inspiring, as well as having a bit of hooligan about it with the exhaust note. Am probably going to try another Classic before dismissing them though because 'the looks 😍' and I haven't heard of anyone else finding them unstable. Am also conscious that I was nervous after a long haitus and being sat bolt upright was feeling the wind in my chest more than the Himmy with screen. If I owned a 350 and still wasn't happy I'd totally fit a screen & to hell with the naysayers if it made the ride more comfortable on a long run! It does suit the Signals model too.

      I've had a Classic 350 (old & new) and a Himalayan... and I've really enjoyed the new Classic 350 the most so far! But it really comes down to personal taste and feel I suspect.... good bikes to get back on though... any will do the trick!

    Utility purpose - it's not aerodynamic. Wouldn't it blast air directly on the face instead of directing them over the head?

    I tend to agree with you that the RE windscreen suits the Signals Edition. I have the same model and color as yours and I plan to put one on. I live in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and I expect it to help cut some of the cold/ wet wind as well as keep the bugs off as I ride the country backroads on my RE Classic 350 Signals Marsh Grey motorcycle.
    Ride safe! Your videos are hilarious as well as informative. Keep them coming. Ride safe 👍

    Nah, looks fine and suits the bike well. Only if too short, I'd love a windscreen as high to reduce wind to helmet. Only problem, I passed my license a week ago and don't even own a bike yet.

    I think it looks fine and is a very neat installation.
    Screens have always been a subject of debate.
    The height to rider ratio is a root cause of this debate.
    If RE were smart they would sell them in different height options.
    I would certainly fit one.

    I haven't put one on mine yet, but I may once the break-in period is past and I can get out on the highway a bit. It's super windy where I live so it's way more about function than looks. At high speeds the wind tries to peel you right off a bike so it's necessary.
