Thank you

Am I the only one who is so upset with the looks of this pannier? It looks like a trash can, and the worst part is that they void warranty of the whole bike for installing a 3rd party pannier..

Thx for the instructions. "Young man eyes" - I feel you brother.

The R3 is such a well rounded machine and has enough juice on tap to have fun with everyday. Most 600cc/1000cc riders in India barely go past the 2nd gear here in traffic. Wheres the fun in that ?. Thanks for the no nonsense review. Cheers !

Great video, thanks Mr Rick

I just don’t know if I can do it. I like the idea but can’t get over it looking like a bin/ trash can…

No left one

can a pillion ride along with this installed? thanks

I have owned bikes that legally I could barely use 25% of the bikes H.P.. Yes they were extremely fast but sterile. The classic 350 oozes with charm & charisma, never failing to put a smile on my face. The build quality on the J6 platform is remarkable - a credit to RE workers & management. Mine is in halcyon grey with canvas bags- toe n heel shifter & Fuel X Lite. A new sub - keep up the entertaining work !

Good on you mate. A great little bike with a lot of heart. I think there is something special about Royal Enfields, I have a Classic 500 UCE model, an old Bullet 500 iron barrel, and a Super Meteor 650 and I love them all 😀 Enjoy!

Thanks for the vid. It's about what I figured, but it's nice to see it first. Where are you getting your gaskets / filters??

Thanks! Just got mine today, and that rear seat has to go.

Another RE commercial. RE boring.

Great review man than you!

Can we put on both sides ?

Brilliant. Just the video I needed to see before fitting my ammo box. Thank you.

Mr rick my meteor had graunchy sounding brakes and it got better when the brakes bedded in but when i move the bike around the yard manually the rear does catch ever so slightly and make a noise, i noticed that the brake pipe is routed in such a way that it excerts force on the caliper allmost stopping the calipers naturall tendency to self centralize on the disc, if this stress can be relieved i think it would cure my catching sound. I did intially put better sintered pads in the bike which only increased the noise and i reverted back to the originals. Mines currently being ridden daily in the uk winter and the tyres are more than capable, much more than capable to a degree were i would fit the same when the time comes.

Yes the porportions are from another world. Very very beautiful.

Do i have to buy separately pannier box and nods? I mean different cost?

Love the stealth finish. Agree with RE not quite being on a par with honda but comparing it to a Harley is pretty funny. I think Harleys are a bit of a joke outside of the US. Each to their own though!

102Miles per gallon

First one of your videos I have seen and I like it. It`s good to hear that you put some miles and time on it, before you made your comments. I just watched a `review` from a guy here in the UK, who had taken one out for a demo ride, from his local dealer, for 15 minutes! (no comment). I have owned mine for 14 months and done about 2,500 miles on it. I love it more than my main bike and it just makes me smile, every time I hit that start button. Just subscribed 👍

Great review. Such a dilemma for me, to keep my beautiful but somewhat impractical Harley (softail Low Rider) or trade her in for one of these Classic 350's. Watched scores of videos on these bikes and not a bad word is said about them. I need to go to the dealers and look at one. Thanks

Firstly you don't need to take the foot peg apart to remove it from the bike. You just have to undo the 17mm nut off from the back. In order to do that you need to get bike on the centre stand sitting on a piece of 2x4 wood to get the back wheel off the floor. When you do this put a zip tie around the handlebar and brake lever to lock the front wheel. This will stop the bike rolling off the centre stand. Then undo the bottom shock mounts and let the wheel drop to the floor. This is the only way to get a socket and ratchet in behind the frame and swingarm!

The stealth is good color, and yes bike this is selling like crazy eversince it was launched in 2008-9 time, last month it did 32000 units unshattered by triumph/harley/honda/Yezdi trying desperately to compete with this,

100% mate. I dropped from a 900 Kawasaki to a Red and Chrome classic. In all honesty the 350 is way more satisfying to ride. Techno bikes have left me cold as they have zero character and soul. Hate boring highway riding so lacking the ability to cruise comfortably above 60mph doesn't bother me. I changed the headlight lamp to a brighter LED only as it definitely has helped reduce the pull out car drivers . Been riding since 1969 and I agree to call these a beginners bike does them a diservice They are really great bikes end of.

Man, that classic looks amazing in black.

Oh man, that bike looks fantastic. All the other videos are always in the bronze and chrome color way. I'm up in Michigan. We only have 4 dealers in the state. Closest dealer to me is about 120-150miles. I want one of these, but I have a feeling it's going to be difficult to get just what I want. I also never ride or even drive on the Highways. Great review. I just subscribed!

I totally agree with you about the R3. It is a great bike and In my opinion very few riders are talented (skilled enough) to need a bike with more performance for ordinary street and highway riding. The R3 is much more enjoyable to ride and easier to control. I have owned and ridden bikes of numerous sizes from 100cc to 900cc and none of them were as fun to ride as the smaller bikes under 400cc's. Yamaha makes great bikes and the R3 or its sibling the MT-03 are more than adequate for 99 percent of riders. Just because you can get a bike with more power does not mean you should go rush out and purchase one.

Greetings from Devon inthe UK. I have a bike just like yours. I agree with all you say. Great for the country roads - manages even the steepest hills no problem. Everyone changes their bikes in slightly different ways so no two are exactly the same.

Just bought one today. 200 km on it and the grin on my face will continue well after i will fall asleep. Very happy with the purchase!

Gorgeous bike. I’m really tempted to buy one. I just bought a Honda CB500X but still have my 2007 HD Dyna that I’m thinking of getting rid of for a smaller cruiser style. I like the color scheme of yours and the speedometer placement over the Hunter 350, but I like those a lot too. Nice video.

Good demonstration sitting on old seat then the new. Definitely benefits the riders with short inside leg for comparison. 👍

Good honest review. Its my first bike after not riding for over 30 years. Like you say its easy to ride and the perfect bike for a chilled out ride in the country. In the U.K where i live , Northumberland the area is quite hilly and this torquey engine handles the steep climbs with no problems. Also with this bike people stop to talk to you about the bike. Filling up at the gas station takes a little longer now!!! People actually like this kind of bike. Also the fuel consumption is great , easily 80 to 90 miles to the gallon. Thats U.K gallons. Thanks again. 👍

I have the same bike It's 2500$ in India 😊

nice

Ive owned bigger sports bikes , and sold them because they make me wanna do dumb shit. This looks very appealing to me, as I do enjoy riding, but I want it to be a bit more casual and have less chance of killing myself.

Great job with your review, and it is a really is a good looking ride and very comfortable. 👍👍

Few days ago i did 1000 km in a single riding session very much reliable and comfy if you know what you are doing.. being r3 my first bike :)

Great ride this ❤ Whats the fuel economy like and your cruising speed? Pls share in UK or US mpg. I'll conveet that to kmpl.

Swabeh talaga dream bike ko kaya pinag iiponan ko na yan eh kahit downpayment

I bought a midnight black 2023 r3 a month ago and I fucking love it

I got a shad trunk gonna go cross country

I moved down fronMT07 to R3 and feel so more confident and even more fun than the bigger engine

From where I can get

From where I can get?

hey rick enjoyed your video of pannier installation are you gonna get one of same for opposite side it looks cool,,,,,,,,,johnny

Just out of interest you can get the engine rotation by putting the engine in fifth gear and using the rear wheel to rotate the engine, it's very easy and saves having to remove that engine case circular cover on the left side 😊

On the breather pipes, tape is not needed, both pipes are different sizes so it's easy to see which goes where 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you soak the new oil filter in oil before install,it's better to do it as it means there is no delay in getting the oil circulation going and reaching the top of the engine, and the torque on the filter cover is 10nm and the oil drain bolts are 8nm 😊
