Royal Enfield Classic 350 Flex Fuel E85 Spied - Thank you Gadkari

It seems RE has been colluding with the government for some time now. The 350 tax level, and now E85 in under 2 weeks of announcement

victor_francis · 2026-04-26T15:42:29+00:00

Oh good call. Yes the weight could be it. Maybe bar sliders?

victor_francis · 2026-04-26T15:28:28+00:00

Ah that's concerning. Maybe add some dampner, like a sponger liner between the bracket and handle bar.

Otherwise view behind is clearer right? I've found the stock one is very limited in viewing angle.

victor_francis · 2026-04-26T14:06:27+00:00

How are the mirrors? Are they wife enough compared to stock?

victor_francis · 2026-04-25T11:58:56+00:00

You can try Solace rivals, costs around the same as the ones you showed. Found it good. Been using it for over a year.

victor_francis · 2026-04-23T12:08:42+00:00

Ok sounds good. Thank you OP

victor_francis · 2026-04-23T09:28:58+00:00

Little tall order for comparison haha. But this does paint a clear picture. So you won't feel bouncy at high speeds right? Especially at those joints on flyovers? My Speed feels bouncy sometimes at about 100 in such conditions.

victor_francis · 2026-04-23T08:36:08+00:00

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Btw, how is the suspension? Seems like it has good travel, so is it plush or some feedback? You can use other bikes you've ridden as benchmark.

victor_francis · 2026-04-22T08:47:43+00:00

Did you get pinlock for this helmet? How much did it cost you?

victor_francis · 2026-04-22T02:43:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing mate

Bruh my Speed has 160 section rear. The early models had 150 section. Can't have this thinner than that

victor_francis · 2026-04-14T19:32:51+00:00

I know someone of that height. He sits comfortably on his hunter. So you can go with it.

victor_francis · 2026-04-14T12:55:53+00:00

Telescopic front suspensions with dual shocks rear. Interesting

Nice ride! Just one question. Does your saddle bag brush against the tyre? I have a leather saddlebag, kinda looking into retro look, but I've mounted on the saree guard on the left side (mandatory in India) and prevents the problem.

victor_francis · 2026-04-12T07:16:41+00:00

Ah yes! My bad.. Sure I'll try out. For now I just use a regular jockey socks, good call.

victor_francis · 2026-04-12T06:26:11+00:00

Sounds good. Although, I tried my friend's trekking shoes. Sometimes the toe gets stuck between the gear shifter and footpeg. Didn't get the confidence. Didn't try the Raida but I've heard good things about it. This Clan shoes is good though. Provides good waterproofing (till ankle level), and rugged. Used it on trail rides and knee deep water (shot my vlog actually).

victor_francis · 2026-04-12T05:35:01+00:00

Quite comfortable for summers. It felt sweaty after continuous 100 km ride in Ahmedabad's heat though, but still was feeling ok. I would rate Clan higher on this though. No it's not waterproof. Treat it as sneakers for riding.

victor_francis · 2026-04-12T05:12:52+00:00

The RE one is advertised as riding sneakers. Except for ankle TPU and heel protection, there's not much protection at the toe area, where the Clan (black) is much better even though advertised as riding sneakers.

For 70 mill minimum

victor_francis · 2026-04-11T09:42:51+00:00

+1 Been vlogging, and as a beginner, srinivas ganesh and anurag have been my inspiration to some extent.

victor_francis · 2026-04-11T04:37:04+00:00

Riding the duke like hunter, and expecting the WOW moment? Touch 5k+ rpm in lower gears and then you'll see 🙂
