    We join Royal Enfield Americas in sunny, historic Savannah, Georgia for the North American debut of their reimagined and redesigned Classic 350. Through the streets of the old city, out into the countryside, and across barrier islands and marshlands, we put the compact motorcycle through the paces and are pleased with the results.
    Classic looks and vibe, in a modern, solid package, The world's oldest continually-in-production motorcycle company brings another fantastic, affordable motorbike to the western hemisphere, with a vintage flair.
    Huge thanks to the great folks at Royal Enfield North America, and the fantastic film crew at 360Media.io

    Affordability and easy maintainance is what RE is popular for.....they sell 1 million motorcycle every year.

    Great vid! Happy to say that here in Cali, we just bought three of these! I'm 61, and have been riding for over 50 years. This is the smallest bike (engine wise) I've owned in over 30 years, and it's the most fun I've had since my first ride! I got one for me and my son, and his girlfriend's father as well.
    No matter where we go or what we're doing, we get stopped and asked about them.
    I'm also a big guy - 6'-4", 230 lbs. It's 100% comfortable - after I moved the bars back slightly and changed the gear shifter up one-notch. Perfection, even with the wife on the back.
    If you're considering one, go have a look (and test ride if possible). I don't think you'll regret it and I'm guessing you're going to love it!
    Ride safe all!

      Halcyon Green
      Halcyon Grey (really, it's blue!)
      Bronze/Chrome
      They all look amazing! They also had the Signals models and a red/chrome and black model.
      Honestly, we spent way more time going back and forth on colors than anything else! The dealer guys were laughing at us as it was truly a hard choice to make. In 50+ years of riding/owning, I've never had such trouble figuring out a color :)
      Ride safe!

    To the classic chrome ( probably Red)
    Living in a small country like the UK with lots of country lanes I want ti get back to my old Matchless days when top speed was not the aim but pure fun of riding the lanes was my nirvana.
