Looks great 😎👍👍
Thanks 🙂
Looks super Marc, you've done a great job, The touring seats ,I find to be a lot more supporting and comfortable than the originals. I too fitted a heel and toe shifter, but hated it, took it off after about 10 miles! I'm in the minority, as most people seem to love them. Enjoy your touring, ride safe.
Thanks Pete, ride safe!
Touring mirrors with vibration dampeners, Dirtsack saddle panniers 60 L , crash bars + sump guard, and touring seats which are excellent and after a week you will not want to come back to original seats. They are comfy yet stiff and support your back during long rides. They got groves so there is more air circulation. A back rack is optional but I find it handy to attach additional things or give support to pillions backpack.
You are making great content!
Thanks for your feedback 🙂 I agree about the touring seat, stiffer than the original, but seating position is very good.
Rain and fog will make you and your bike damp. You don't need additional dampeners. You may need some vibration dampers too, but that's a different story.
Hi, the Chrome Bronze colour is perfect for this Classic. It's seems a perfect tourer now. I prefer alloy wheels and tubeless tires. Less problems during long rides.
Great job! Enjoy this beautiful bike 🏍 👍🏼🔝👏🏻😉
That's a beautiful set-up you've put together. It looks like it could have come from the manufacturer that way. In fact I wish they would sell one like this. As a long time Harley rider I particularly liked the use of the Daymaker lights. They really look right at home on the RE. I hope you do a video of your travels on this bike.
Thanks a lot Irvin for your feedback 🙂 The daymaker LED fog lights are very expensive, but they look great on the RE, absolutely agree. Travels follow soon, just have to wait for better weather ;-)
The general quality and construction has gone up a lot, got a 2015 bullet 500, and it's such a big difference. RE is definitely going places!
I don’t know, but what RE offers is something totally different in my opinion. Classic bikes with the essence of the 50’s (pretty much because they are built the same way as in the 50’s or 60’s). What I’ll like to see is a more powerful bike those 650 engines can give much more.
Nice set up. Just purchased a Bullet 350. Getting some great ideas with your videos. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you too 🙂
Your motorbike is beautiful. It is well suited to its role as a touring motorbike and as an 'round mount. I look forward to further reports of you touring the countryside on it!
Thank you, sir!

Very interesting to see that you use classic off-road tyres on your classic motorcycle. The Heidenau K60 Scout is a legend - been with us from the old days and still serves us. Famous for durability and versatility. Maybe there are better tyres on the market today, but no tyre is classic like these. That's the whole point of the RE 350 CLASSIC!
Looking very smart indeed! I also have had people ask about my bike (I have a Halcyon grey one). They are real head turners.
If you could link the fog light and heel/toe changer sellers, that would be wunderbar! Many thanks!
Hi, these are the fog lights: www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/daymaker-reflector-led-fog-lamps-chrome-housing/p/68000386
and this the heel and toe shifter: accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/gearbox-primary/48006
Have a safe ride !
@@Marc.Stones Vielen Dank Marc.
Have a great trip!
Love the video, Marc, as always! I'm about to buy a Triumph Bonneville T100, but I'm kinda divided with the beauty of this RE.
I owned a Triumph Bonneville T100 too, a great and very good looking bike! But for half the price you get a RE and for me the 20 hps are enough for cruising 🙂
Yes... It. Makes me wondering...
Compra sin dudar la RE Classic. Te sorprenderá.

Love those knobboly tires....
Struggling to find pannier bags / rear bag I like for Super Meteor 650. So far I have the same luggage rack as you for the rear. Your bike looks great (and very functional)!
That's a great setup you have there Marc - it all looks really professional looking and not just cobbled together. It definitely looks better with the spoked wheels and without the screen.
I love how you say the word "Rugged". You've said it in a few videos and it makes me smile every time. Forgive me if this is insulting to you in any way, as it could just be your accent, but in case you don't know - it's pronounced "rug-id" in English.
Keep the videos coming and I'm looking forward to seeing one of you on tour at some point.
I have to practice my English more again, my German accent is too clear. 😂 Thanks for the tip and your feedback. I agree concerning the look of the spoked wheels, but for touring would prefer the tubeless tires, would make repairing much easier in case of a puncture 🙂
Your English is incredible Marc! Certainly much better than my German 🤣@@Marc.Stones
It can certainly be improved, especially technical descriptions with technical terms are quite difficult. Hopefully I do not forget rug-id or rugged will become my personal slogan :-)
I like the idea of it being your catchphrase 🤣@@Marc.Stones
Hello! It looks like you've tried all the accessories that exist for this model :), all that's left to do is give it a try to a Hitchcocks PERFORMANCE CAMSHAFT STAGE 2 along with decat pipe and air filter open cover! I just installed mine, but didn't ride due to the weather conditions.Cheers!
You are right, I tried a lot :-D I think the cam shaft is a good performance booster, I am not sure, if the decat pipe is authorized in Germany, the TÜV is very strict. Have a safe ride!
Nice looking, mate. Enjoy your trips.
Thanks a lot 😎✌
Looks great, that colour way is very classic looking. Are you happy with the crash bars,? The Harley lights are a nice
touch. The tyre noise is satisfactory, ? Thank you for sharing with us, happy travelling.
Thanks John, I am happy with the crash guards, not the most stable ones, but I need them to mount the LED lights and my cameras. The Heidenau tires are of course a bit louder than street tires because of the rough tire tread, but it's ok. Have a safe ride 🙂
That colour has really grown on me
I bet you spent a lot on all the mods
Awaiting for the next trip
Yes, it was quite a lot, but worth it ;-)
Are you going to keep this bike if/when Super Classic 650 is released? :)
Oh, thats a good question :-) not sure, the 650 sounds very interesting.
Hallo Marc, wegen Dir habe ich damals eine Vespa 300 GTS gekauft. Deine Videos und Vergleiche haben mir sehr geholfen. Nun interessiere ich mich für eine Bullet 350 und habe Deinen Kanal hier gefunden. Dein Englisch ist nahezu perfekt und Du erreichst sicher damit weltweit mehr Zuseher. Aber ich würde mir wünschen, dass es die Videos hier auch in deutscher Sprache geben würde. Gruß Claus (ehemaliger Spandauer🙂)
Hallo Claus, vielen Dank für dein feedback. Da ich TH-cam nur als Hobby betreibe, würde es leider viel zu viel Arbeit machen die Videos auch in deutsch für den Scooteria Kanal zu machen. Das Interesse auf dem Scooteria Kanal an Motorrädern ist bei den meisten auch nicht so stark vorhanden. Aber meine englischen Videos haben ja auch deutsche Untertitel. Viele Grüße Marc
@@Marc.Stones So, Abo ist raus und nach heutiger Probefahrt mit Detailcheck der verfügbaren 350er Hunter, Classic und Meteor dann mal gleich die Bullet bestellt. Der Händler hier in Österreich bekommt seinen Aussagen zufolge nur eine schwarze frühestens Mitte April. Ick freu mir schon janz dolle 🥳
Das ist eine gute Entscheidung, dann wünsche ich dir schon mal viel Spaß mit der Bullet!
Looks great Marc. It’ll be interesting to see how you get on during long tours.
Looks very nice and neat , everything suits the bike, very well put together , Happy touring 😊
Thanks Carl 👍
Your welcome 🙏
Awesome set up. I love your helmet too. 😊
Do you still have the tuning parts like the cam shaft, air filter oder the fuel x lite?
At the moment only the air filter is installed, not the cam shaft and the fuel X lite.
Looks very fine. 👌🏻
Jetzt bin ich nur noch gespannt, wohin die Tour geht. 😉
In den Südsudan, so wie die Reifen aussehen und der Aufwand gepushed wird.
Lovely bike for touring! Looking forward to your next videos.
Beautiful bike. Love the copper color.
Looks beautiful and some nice mods especially the brake lever
Great video and the bike seems so good! Where did You buy Moto Nostra bag and how much it cost?
You find the bag here: Retro-bag small Moto Nostra 👉 bit.ly/40a9YC8
@@Marc.Stones Thanks Mate!
You're welcome
Aren’t tubeless tyres easier to deal with when gone flat?
Absolutely yes, I still have my aluminium rims and they get some street tires.
Did you change the rims yourself?? If so, you must have some way to lift front wheel off the ground (?)
No, the guys at the workshop did it, but when I change back to the alloy rims I will do it by myself, but you need a second person, makes it much more easy.
Absolutely beautiful !!
🤙🏻😎
Beautiful and seem very comfortable 👍
Where did you buy those pannier bags? I would love them on my Classic 350
Greetings from Ecuador 😃

Thanks Mario ✌
Nice retro classic ❤

Beautiful bike.....just beautiful 👍👍👍👍
Thumb up No 285 is here!
Hey Marc, interesting configuration regarding road - trip use.
Regarding the mirrors, you should keep these and forget the styling for a while as the bar - end ones (love them and you know that) won't be so practical when travelling.
As for the windshield installation, no way man... the speed will be decreased and you will be a stationary object in the middle of the highway, perfect target for Scania, DAF, MAN etc😅
So, awaiting for the first journey video to come!
(Nice haircut!)
Cheers 👍
Hi Dimitris, hope you are fine. I will test the rectangular bar end mirrors soon, the round ones are too small for me. The touring mirrors have a very good rear view, so for touring purposes very good. Happy eastern. Cheers Marc
Very nice... really like the color scheme!..
Oil temperature guage - that looks awesome on this classic. Can anyone say where will i get that to my classic 350 in india?
Great looking bike 🙂I should install the oil temperature gauge, very interesting item
Sir that's a good looking bike indeed
Thanks 👍🏻
Very classy. I don’t even notice the extra extension on the bars.
I would paint the HD lights same color as the body would look amazing .
One final question.
Did you remove the performance mods completely. Air filter, exhaust and fuel controller,?
Ok real final, did you notice the extra weight in fuel mileage and performance?
Hi, I am riding in stock setting at the moment, fuel consumption is 3 l / 100 km in the mix.
Nice!
The fog lights look great! Just what I’ve been looking for.
How are they powered?
To a 12 V connector in the headlamp
She looks lovely though
Congratulations for all your videos! They are really amazing. I have been thinking to buy this bike for a while and my only doubt is if this bike is ok for communting in a big city (Madrid) or I will miss more power and wind protection. Thank you so much
Thanks :-) it is a perfect bike for commuting in the city, very easy to handle.
Might I ask where you found the stickers for the battery / throttle-body covers? I've been searching for my 2020 Bullet 500! (Hitchcocks doesn't have the right size).
Great looking bike!
Hi, I found them on Ebay
@@Marc.Stones Right on, I'll start the search! Thanks.
Hello Marc
Im driving classic350 2023 with touring seat but handlebar is not comfortable.Are you comfortable after touring handlebar ?only touring seat is uncomfortable because handlebar lower than seat.
Leve freno/ frizione e specchietti retrovisori dal designer non adatto al tipo di moto. Bello il cambio a bilancere.
Hallo Marc!
Wieder ein tolles und informatives Video! Hätte da eine Frage bezüglich deines JMP-Ölthermometer. Kannst du mir da mit einer genaue Typenbezeichnung weiterhelfen? Konnte auf Amazon keines finden welches direkt der Classic 350 zuzuordnen war. Mit Dank im voraus und Gruß aus Österreich

Great video, thank you. I'm interested in your Heidenau K60 tyres. I don't know much about them. Are they the Scout version and are they suitable for tarmac and off road together? I have the RE Classic 350 red and chrome version and would love to get some tyre like yours. Are they similar to the Mitas 50/50 tyres others are using on this bike? How does the bike handle with them? Thanks for your help with this. Your bike looks great with all the bags on. Ride safe. Pete( UK)
Hi Pete, front is 100/90-19 M/C 57 T TL
K60 M+S SiO2 rear is 120/80 - 18 M/C 62 T TT K 60 Scout M+S. They suit for tarmac and gravel roads. The bike handles both very good. Have a safe ride. Cheers Marc
Thanks Marc, really appreciate your detailed reply. I will look into getting those tyres fitted to my 'Ruby'. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures on your classic 350. Take care, Pete.
Beautiful bike! What do you get for mileage? Have you made any performance upgrades to the engine?
Thanks, the engine is stock at the moment. 👍🏻
❤👍🏼🔥
Looks like the ‘extras’ cost more than the bike!😅 Good luck.
😂 right, it's getting expensive
Do you find any mileage difference after using DN filter
No difference 👍🏻
@@Marc.Stones why you uninstalled then
I had several times the engines warning light
Would be interested to know how much all the extras cost?
All extras are about 2000.- Euros
Beautifully upgraded!
My take on such a bike for 18tkm touring across europe:
- get decent road tires, i.e. BT46
- get your suspension right, i.e. spring rate and oil in the front, and shocks from Hagon or better (Bitubo, Ikon, Wirth, …) for you with and without the luggage.
- get your lights top, expensive: Nolden 7” insert, less expensive: Osram/Philips LED insert. Need no position lights and added stuff.
- cut your stock clutch, brake levers short, so they don’t hit the ground and brake or brake the related pump
- get a loud horn! Yes, a truck-loud horn!
- Reholster the stock seats for hard foam, as long ride ridicule any stock foam of most bikes.
- Use waterproof saddlebags, not leather. No, there’s no warranty for rain-less travel. Neither for dust-less travel. Your bags will collect both and will never be really clean again after a while.
- never use a top-case or similar on tour, cases and mounts brake with all the vibration and forces given to them.
- don’t add big crash bars as you have them already mounted in original form, wide steering bars.
- The brakes are not made for fully loaded speedy braking, so avoid load that’s not necessary.
! But before all that, ride that bike night and day rain, strong wind and heat over 4.000km to determine your kit, or update as you go along realizing what didn’t work and fixing it.
Hi, thanks for your tips! I am thinking about installing the Bridgestone tires on my alloy rims, they seem to be very good for road usage. I have some rain covers for my leather saddlebags, so this shouldn’t be a problem. You did 18000 k on the Classis 350, that’s a lot. Are you happy with the bike for touring? Is there enough space in the housing for an Osram LED light?
Hey ho how tall are you ? :)
188 cm
@@Marc.Stones Danke ☺️ wollte nur wissen weil ich auch von der längeren Seite bin
helmet?

"There's enough storage space inside the paniers". Two 30 liter paniers? Have you ever been touring?
The panniers are 21 l each. Yes I did a lot of touring with other bikes.
