Before the end of November, Royal Enfield will launch the Goan Classic 350, its fifth product on the J-series engine platform, following the Meteor, Classic, Hunter, and Bullet. The Goan Classic will be a funky-looking bobber-style motorcycle that will share most of its fundamentals with the Classic 350.

Will use the same engine as the other RE 350s

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350: details

Since the Goan Classic will use the same 349cc single-cylinder engine as the rest of the RE 350s, its peak output will most likely stand at 20hp and 27Nm of torque. Even the Goan Classic’s main frame is likely to be the same as the Classic 350. The differences are likely to be in the styling, paint options, and riding position.

Previous sightings of the Goan Classic have revealed that, unlike the offerings from Classic Legends, the Jawa 42 Bobber and Perak, the Royal Enfield 350cc bobber will have accommodations to carry a pillion.

The pillion setup on this bike is likely to be very similar to the one seen on the Shotgun and Classic 650 Twin. This means the frame to carry the passenger setup will be hinged to the rider’s scooped-out seat. This will give the Goan Classic a significant advantage in terms of practicality against competition from the Jawa bobbers.

The Goan Classic 350, catering to the style-conscious sector of the motorcycle-buying community, is expected to get vibrant and ornate colour schemes. Previous spy shots have also shown that the Goan Classic will run on whitewall tyres, making it one of the very few modern bikes to do so. While most of the test mules have been spotted with wire-spoke wheels, Royal Enfield could also offer alloy wheels as an option.

Currently, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is priced between Rs 1.93 lakh and Rs 2.30 lakh, and upon its launch, the Goan Classic will likely be priced around the Classic’s ballpark, but its top variant could exceed the Rs 2.30 lakh mark. All will be revealed soon at Motoverse, Royal Enfield’s annual festival, where the company will launch its fifth 350cc model.
