Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the weight of my Royal Enfield Classic 350, so I figured I’d just do a little deep dive and share what I’ve found out through, you know, actually messing with the bike.
Digging into the Specs
First thing I did was hit up the official Royal Enfield website. I wanted to get the “official” number, straight from the source. I also looked at some owner’s manuals online, just to double-check. Sometimes those things have slightly different numbers. I was not able to find the direct weight data, but I did find something called “kerb weight”.
My “Real World” Weigh-In (Sort Of)
Now, I don’t have a giant scale at home to just roll my bike onto. So, I got a little creative. I remembered the “kerb weight” which is what most people told me.
I made sure:
- Full Tank of Gas:Because, well a full tank weigths more!
- All the Fluids: Oil, coolant everything topped off, just like it would be if I was riding.
Putting it All Together
So, after all that, here’s the deal. The official “kerb weight” I saw bandied about is around 195 kilograms. That’s about 430 pounds, give or take.
It’s not a lightweight bike, for sure. But, honestly, that weight is part of what makes it feel so solid and planted on the road. It’s not some flimsy little thing that’s gonna get blown around by the wind.
I hope, my sharing is helpful, if any body wants to do the real weight-in by themselves!
