Saul Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Not really a ride report as such but I took my Himalayan up to get serviced today at the dealership. It’s a good 20 miles from me and they wanted the bike overnight so they can set the valve clearances cold. Hence I had to have a loan bike. I didn’t really care what they gave me or had given it much thought. Anyway when I got there they wheeled out this classic 350 for me to borrow. I must say what a pleasant thing to ride, sweet sounding motor with lots of low down torque from tickover. Really light clutch with a light and positive gear change. Just a lovely thing to ride, I really enjoyed it. Of course it is anything but fast but very easy to live with, a very easy bike to like. Great brakes to, I thought it handled really well. It feels a better finished bike than my Himalayan and a bit smoother to ride. It does feel restricted though and while happy between 30 and 60 mph any faster than that is not where it wants to be. I think it is a stunning looking bike. I would not buy one but I do appreciate it as lovely bit of kit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I'd rather walk than get on a bus, full of smelly people who don't know how to put their hand up when they cough. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no choice but to walk if you were hoping to ride your BSA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
