Absolutely worth it! The Bullet 350X is not just a bike, it’s an experience. There's nothing that compares to that classic thump and retro styling of any modern bike. Yeah, it isn't the fastest or most advanced, but that's not the point. It’s about how you feel pushing the bike, it’s about the journey.

Overrated, if you ask me. They will get you much more reliable and better performing bikes for the same price. The vibrations are bad, and it costs an arm and a leg to maintain. It's just simply not practical for day to day use.

It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you're after a bike with character, and if you don't mind a few quirks, the Bullet is great. If performance and hassle free ownership is what you are after, there are better options out there.

The 350X is an improvement over older Bullets. It's refined and more reliable whilst retaining that classic charm. It's a good balance of old and new, just what you want if you want to be in the RE game without all the headaches.

If you like the whole Royal Enfield culture, I'd say it's worth it. It is amazing the community and the rides. It’s pretty average as a standalone bike, though. You’re paying for the brand and the nostalgia more than anything else.
How does the Bullet 350X fare for long distance touring when compared to other bikes in the same class?

Surprisingly good for touring is the Bullet 350X! With an upright seating position, and a comfortable seat these will make long rides a breeze. And the low end torque is just right for highway cruising. My's has done several 1000+ km trips with no problems.

Short tours are okay, but for serious long distance riding there are so much better options. After a few hours, the vibrations get tiring, and the lack of wind protection on highways is a real pain. Plus, the small fuel tank means you will be stopping often.

If you're not in a hurry, I think it's a great tourer. The relaxed riding style and classic looks create a great ride. It’s just that you have to be ready to stop for maintenance more often than with Japanese bikes.

It’s not the best for touring honestly. When fully loaded, you can tell that you lack power, especially in hilly areas. But the basic suspension is very uncomfortable on rough roads. Hardcore touring is more its domain, not leisurely rides.

The Bullet 350X is the ultimate touring machine for me. It’s all about the experience, the sound, the feel and the looks. It's not the fastest, or the most comfortable, but it has soul. That makes every journey special.
Is modifying a Bullet 350X for better performance a way of ruining its classic charm?

The fun part is modding a Bullet! If you keep it tasteful it can improve performance without losing the classic vibe. Without changing the look too much, a good exhaust and air filter can wake up the engine.

In my opinion, any mods ruin the charm of the Bullet. The whole point is so you can experience it as it was meant to be, pure and simple. If you start to change things, you might as well buy a new bike.

It depends on the mods. Get a better carb or ignition system and you can improve the ride without changing the looks. Go too far and you lose what makes a Bullet special.

Moderate mods are fine I think. While the stock Bullet feels a little underpowered, some tweaks to improve performance can actually make the bike more fun to ride. Just don't go crazy with exhausts or gaudy accessories, though.

It’s a personal choice, but I like to keep my Bullet stock. Riding it the way it was designed is special. On top of that, you dodge the potential reliability problems that can come with aftermarket parts.
Does the Bullet 350X’s lower fuel efficiency than other 350cc bikes justify it’s riding experience?
07 January 2025 11:40
The Bullet experience is totally worth it with the lower fuel efficiency. There’s no price you can put on that classic thump and the feeling you get riding a legend. Transportation is not just that, it’s an emotion.
Does the Bullet 350X’s lower fuel efficiency than other 350cc bikes justify it’s riding experience?

No way is it justified. Today’s economy is one where every rupee counts. If you can get a more efficient bike that will perform better, why spend more on fuel? 'Experience' doesn't pay your bills.

It's a trade-off. You will spend more on fuel, but you’re getting a unique riding experience that no other 350cc bike can give. But if you love motorcycling, it's worth it.

If you ride sensibly it’s not that bad in terms of efficiency. It’s not as good as some others, yes, but not by much. But I feel the joy of riding a Bullet compensates for the additional cost of fuel.
