Discussions and Questions - Royal Enfield Machismo 350 Royal Enfield Machismo 350
Was the Machismo 350 actually any better than the other bikes, or was it just all a bunch of marketing?

I’m a mechanic, and I can tell you the changes were more than cosmetic. It does tweak the frame and suspension which does improve handling. It's not revolutionary but it's there.
Is the Machismo 350 cult following justified, or just nostalgia fuelled?
13 January 2025 06:40
It’s not about the specs of the bike, it’s about the cult following of the overall experience. There’s something to the Machismo that modern bikes lack, and it’s something worth celebrating.
Is the Royal Enfield Machismo 350 really the best handling Bullet that Royal Enfield ever made?
13 January 2025 06:40
Absolutely! I've ridden the Machismo and standard Bullets and the Machismo feels much more nimble. It makes a huge difference in tight turns because of its lighter weight.
Did the AVL lean burn engine in the Machismo 350 really solve Royal Enfield's reliability problems?
13 January 2025 06:40
I worked on the AVL engine as a mechanic and I can tell you it was easier to work on and more reliable. It’s still a Royal Enfield, so expect some issues, but let’s be real.
Was the Machismo 350 a half baked attempt at modernization or ahead of its time?

I would call it a natural step in RE evolution. It wasn’t perfect, but it at least showed that they were willing to change or adapt. That's pretty forward thinking for RE at the time.

The Royal Enfield Machismo has been discontinued from a long time and its availability is very rare, even in the used motorcycle market. The bike was a RE Classic of its time, providing divided seat and disc brake for better ride quality. You can go for the new RE Classic 350/500. The 350 cc Classic is the best option as it comes with an excellent mileage, superb ride quality and reasonable price. The 346 cc, 1-cylinder engine produces 19.8 BHP @ 5250 rpm and 28 NM @ 4000 rpm. It gets excellent tyres, disc brake for the front wheel and an optional off-road exhaust. The bike gets a price tag of INR 1,25,000.

The Royal Enfield Machismo is a discontinued model from the manufacturer and the current lineup includes Standard, Classic, Electra, Thunderbird and Continental GT series. The bike used the same 346 cc engine, producing 18 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 27.5 NM @ 3,500 rpm. At its time of sale, the Classic 350 was not even planned and it shared the same divided seat concept as being used presently. It was actually a bike with features of all the current lineup, using the disc brake as on the Electra series, tyres as on the Standard Bullet series and a windshield as on the Thunderbird series. It was lightweight when compared to the other Bullet's and used a lot of Chrome, making it more appealing than the others at that time.

The Royal Enfield Machismo has been discontinued and the current available series are Classic, Standard, Electra, Thunderbird and Continental GT. The Machismo was a 346 cc, 18 BHP and 27 BHP machine that came up with an optional disc brake for the front. It was not a refined Royal Enfield as it produced a lot of extra noise and vibrations. With 14.5 liter of fuel tank, the bike returned 29 kmpl only. It was somewhat light from others at 175 kg. The bike had a chrome tank and chrome was also place on both the mudguards. It was mostly like the Standard Bullet 350 and was priced at INR 1,06,500.
