Having just downsized to a Classic 350 from a Tiger 1200. Also haveca BSA Gold Star 650. I love the feel and character of these dmaller bikes for my riding. At 65, I am not into high speeds or heavy bikes anymore. The roads are in poor condition and speed limits are dropping everywhere, it seems. Chilling out and enjoying the journey is my mantra now. Ride safe.
I agree with your comments, it’s horses for courses. Whilst any motorcycle can do anything, within reason, different size & style suit different situations.
Just downsized from a B M W K75 , and got a Meteor 350cc Enfield yesterday , been a spin around the Wirral coastal views great , filled it up for £14. 73p , found it very enjoyable to ride , everything you stated is correct , one of my mates has a Honda Shadow its heavy and big , but he prefers his Royal Enfield , great bikes .😊
Good morning Nick. Yes I absolutely agree about the RE 350s - not actually ridden a Classic but both my Meteor and now Hunter are similar for the reasons you state. I have a friend in New Zealand who rides her Hunter very long distances on fast highways and just loves it though I think she may be thinking of trying something like the Shotgun. That would be too heavy for me and for the sort of riding I now enjoy, rather like your Yorkshire Dales rides my 350 is just perfect. Cheers, Nick.
Liked your video. Sill have multiple bikes of size and h.p. Enjoying them all. Will be 71 in 1 month and I've found the perfect way to staying young. NEVER walk in front of a mirror. Lol.

Likewise went from a Kawasaki VN 900cc to a 350Enfield classic.
Best move I've made in decades.
I discovered a new bike with 1960s soul and character

People really do like the RE models. Yours is a lovely looking machine too.

Morning Peter, the countryside, a sunny day and the engine note make for a perfect day, I wouldn’t be without my Enfield. 👍

🤣🤣I don’t mind walking in front of a mirror, I don’t seem to have a reflection anyway.. 🧛♂️ 🤣🤣
It sounds like what I want a Honda Trail 125, around town beboping ! Wonderful, personal review
Startright Motorcycles ! That's a blast from the past, they must be the oldest motorcycle dealer in Leeds now.
Yes they’ve certainly been around for a long time. 👍
