Riders are keen to know how the Classic 350 S performs on highways. Some argue that its 349cc engine doesn’t make enough horsepower—about 20 horses—for highway use, especially in countries with higher speed limits. Some say it’s perfectly capable of cruising at 70–80 km/h which is enough for many situations. Its highway performance is greatly dependent on factors like rider weight, wind conditions and terrain. The bike's strengths in style and character are also discussed, as to whether they surpass any top speed or acceleration limitations. It’s essential that potential buyers understand its highway capabilities, as that can make or break whether or not the bike fits their riding needs and local road conditions.
