Big Bore Installation and First Ride Review - Royal Enfield Classic / Meteor / Hunter 350

I finally got my Royal Enfield Classic 350 assembled and tested after fitting the 410 cc Big Bore kit. My list of performance modifications now includes: Free Flow Exhaust and Decat, FuelX, DNA stage 2 air filter, Kent performance camshaft and last but not least 410 cylinder Big Bore Kit from Himalayan-tools.com.

Some may say that I should have bought a different bike, maybe just went for the older 500, one of the 650 or a Triumph. However I disagree. One of my main motivations for buying this exact motorcycle was to modify, improve and work on it. In my book the new Classic 350 is probably one of the very best plattforms for doing that.

I must also add that this motorcycle is really capable of handling much more than the 20 hp it comes with. The J-series engine and the new frame is excellent, and much better than that of the older 500 (trust me, I owned one). If RE Could I do believe they would have built it more powerful from start. Maybe as a 500 cc 35 hp single. It is way capable of that!

Seems perfectly logical to me. Agree, or disagree? - feel free to start a discussion in the comments section
