Which is better classic 350 or classic 500 in performance?

Question

AK · Accepted Answer

M having stealth black 500 and its such a special feeling to own the RE which cannot be expressed in words but when it comes to 350 or 500 it is totally on your usage as the first thing is mileage which does not differ much as i m getting around 30+ and in 350 it is around 35 but when it comes to driving for sure you feel d diff the 500 variant is much more plesant in driving. so in my opinion just go for 500 but if you are luking price wise u can choose 350 bcz in looks both are same if you are not choosing the 500 only colour variant

Madhur · Answer

Difference will be on the inflow of the fuel . 350 is with carburetor and 500 is with fuel injection. 500 got more pickup but lack in fuel efficiency as compare to the counterpart.i' ve rode my classic 350 for almost 5 years, most of the times in the himalayan region.i found no issue regarding the capacity of the engine.on my personal level i would have picked himalayan for classic 500. decision is yours brother. thanks and keep thumping

Amrith · Answer

Having owned the Classic 500 I can tell you that it is not worth the extra money. The performance upgrade is not noticeable. I would suggest you gofor the Classic 350 . But the one thing I noticed is the exclusivity of the Classic 500. As far as I know there are only around 10 in my city out of the 1000s of bullets and that really is something special, so if you are looking for exclusivity then go for the 500.

Ayush · Answer

Bro your budget was high so you should go and get purchase classic 500 and your budget was low and you will get buying get Royal Enfield ride with your own hobby so you are get buy classic 350 my suggestion

Sumeet · Answer

If you want a Royal Enfield bike with good looks,decent average and comfort go for classic 350 but if want more power and thrill go for classic 500 it has good looks,power and great comfort.

Sujoy · Answer

There are a few points which need to be remembered: 1. 500 has EFI 2. It has low fuel indicator3. It has higher power output 4. Above all, it has that vanity value, riding a 500 c.c and catches people's attention easily. Hence plan, save and go for your 500 c.c. You'll never regret.

S · Answer

Actually I have both but it depends on u ..350 millage is 35 as on 500 cc gives 25 but power comes from 500 .350 is good but 500 producess more power. Maintenance are same. If u buying bullet then never think of millage.

Bikrant · Answer

Classic 500 and 350 are same but only the difference is that 500cc n 350cc. In 350 u will get new looks in a affordable budget,but if u r looking for unique classic looks with a heavy engine then go for classic 500cc.

Mahendra · Answer

Both are very different choices as per your need. .350 is good for city rides and short rides .500 is good for long rides because of more power and higher CC engine helps to cruse easily keeping the momentum intact.

Aakarsh · Answer

If you're looking for a bike with good mileage bike then go for 350.......but 500 os also good in many other things

Rajat · Answer

Classic 500 is more better then classic 350 and more comfortable also. Vibration is also low in classic 500

Priyank · Answer

500 is more versatile than the 350 ..and packs a punch .....but if mileage is an issue then 350 classic is the best

Ghanshyam · Answer

RE Classic 500 has more power than RE 350, but if u r regular rider and like to travel out of city or longer distance without compromising power delivery then u need to go for Classic 500.

James · Answer

Main difference is the inflow of the petrol . 350 is with carburetor and 500 is with fuel injection. 500 got more pickup but lack in fuel efficiency as compare to the counterpart.

Rithick · Answer

Definitely 500 jas the best performance.. But the production of classic 500 has stopped😣

Shobhit · Answer

Classic 350 if you are looking for average and more of a city ride but if you are looking for more power and go more into mountains where more power might be useful go for 500

Sanjiv · Answer

Go for 500, its really unique, powerful and worth having. 350 is there with everyone but not 500. all eyes stick to 500 and if you go for desert storm, the colour is too unique.

Sumit · Answer

In my oppinion classic 350 is better than classic 500 because 350 average is better and its not more heavy than classic 500.350 it have more colours its is to ride

Ayush · Answer

It's your own mind what you can buy but my choice is only classic 500 :)

Mohammad · Answer

If u r an adventurer go for 500cc variant with abs, if u r an daily rider then go for 350cc signals edition coz they almost minimised the vibrations in signals.

Sam · Answer

In case of performance obviously classic 500 but mileage is much less..

Sidharth · Answer

No doubt, “The bigger the engine, the better the power and thus increased performance”. Also the 500cc variant has FI which contributes a bit more power.

Manash · Answer

Ofcourse 500. The 41 Nm of torque is really helpful and fun to ride in cities and highways.

Muthuraman · Answer

If the required is to daily city commute and expect a decent milage then go for 350. 500 is ideal if you take often long drives and not a city commuter

Ayushman · Answer

It depends on your requirement.500 cc will give you better performance at a low efficiency so if you are inclined towards performance go for 500 cc.

Bijo · Answer
