Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Classic 500 are models of Royal Enfield motorcycles which have been in production since 2009. The Classic series of Royal Enfield motorcycles are inspired by the Royal Enfield G2 350cc Bullet motorcycle, first produced in 1948.[1]
The first generation Classic 350 and the Classic 500 feature the new unit construction engine in their 350cc and 500cc variants respectively. However the Classic 350 uses a carburettor for fuel delivery and the Classic 500 has EFI. The Classic 350 has an ammeter while the Classic 500 has a low fuel indicator light and engine check light instead of the ammeter. The ammeter on the Classic 350 is more of a vestigial remain as the modern Classic 350 has no practical use for it. In the older models with CB points, when the piston was in the top dead centre (CB points closed) then the ammeter would stay in the middle. This feature allowed the rider to use the decompression lever to move the piston to top dead center and kick starter with relative ease. Both of these models are more expensive and targeted at a market segment above the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and the Bullet 500.
Both the Classic 350 and the Classic 500 come in a variety of color options, including; Stealth Black, Chrome, Battle Green, and Gunmetal Grey.
In 2017 Royal Enfield equipped Classic 500 models with Euro 4 compliance which included ABS brakes for front and rear and better emission control system.
In 2018 Royal Enfield released Classic 350 models with ABS in some markets. In 2019 classic 500 production is stopped and company launches new bs6 engines and dual channel abs
A final "end of build" production run of 1000 units is launched, Classic 500 Tribute Black.

Second Generation Classic Series (2022-)edit
Eschewing the 500cc variant, the second generation Classic launched in late 2021 (for the 2022 model year) as the Classic 350 Reborn.
This model is a complete redesign, with a new engine, new chassis, new suspension, and new brakes, along with a much wider variety of cosmetics, accessories, and paint schemes.[2]
2022 Royal Enfield "Classic 350 Reborn," in Halcyon Black.
In 2022, it starts at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.84 lakh (US$2,300) in India.[3] In Germany, it starts at €4,890 (US$5,783.4).[4]
Receptionedit
The global motorcycle press reviews for the redesigned Classic 350 have been favorable at launch. Critics acknowledge riding the motorcycle is "a languid, unhurried experience" as it was not designed for speed.[5] However, the handling, fuel economy, ergonomics, low-price, quality, and beauty of the motorcycle suggest it was "designed to be fun and friendly to a wide range of riders."[6]
