The Bullet Trials 350 is single seat and how does that affect its practicality?

Moving away from conventional dual seat setup on most bikes, the Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 sports a singular seat configuration. This is a design choice that harks back to classic trials bikes, but has raised its practicality for everyday use. This is a drawback for those of us who most often ride with a pillion due to the single seat limiting passenger-carrying capability. But that's also what makes it different to other motorcycles in the class: it offers a unique riding experience and a certain aesthetic. This feature has been the subject of much motorcycle enthusiasts ' conversation, discussing the compromise between style, heritage and functionality in modern motorcycle design.

It is a deal breaker for me that it is a single seat. It's just impractical not to take my girlfriend along because I often ride with her.

I love the single-seat setup! This makes it look sleeker and it feels more nimble. It’s also a great excuse when someone asks you for a ride and you don’t want to give one.

It's a mixed bag. While the single seat is cool and fits the trials bike aesthetic it limited the bike’s versatility. I installed a custom pillion pad because I ended up having to carry a passenger.

It’s the single seat that makes this bike special. It's not a practical daily rider, it's for enthusiasts that want to appreciate the heritage of the brand and something different. If you need to haul passengers, get a different bike.

Royal Enfield missed an opportunity I think. Owners could have had the best of both worlds with a removable pillion seat. The single seat, as it is, makes it appeal to a pretty niche market.
