I take the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 into the English countryside, and give my final thoughts on it.

1:01 "where are you Goan (going)?" Haha, Monika"s chilled, subtle background humour.

My daughter is 15. She loves bright colored cars, especially Jeeps. I showed her pictures of the Goan in this color and she really liked it. It's the first time that she has shown and interest in a motorcycle. It really is a beautiful bike.

I agree with your end point. There is something so special about the 350. Looks, engagement, feel of the piston, sound, suspension, comfort etc. I honestly don’t want more power, I adore the way it slows me down to enjoy the sights. The way it relaxes me. The engagement of always being in the optimal gear. RE is becoming my favourite manufacturer because it understands motorcycle for my enjoyment the best.

Favorite Sunday morning - good coffee and a new video from our YouTube friend. Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday!

You get it motorcycling is so much more than a practical thing it's a mental freedom in this age of stress!

Hi Monica, It was good to hear you. And almost see you. Please come in front of the camera sometimes. I know it is supposed to be Freddie's channel, but we know he would be nothing without you. Let us see the person that inspires the channel.

Freddie,As a nowners of a Classic 350 in red and chrome (the best apart from them the Bullitt ),personally if I lived in India I,d have the Goan,but as a 72 yr old Englishman warming back up up in my living room after 120ls,I,d stick with the Classic.They nailed it with this design and colour scheme.

The interesting thing is most people have no idea 🤷‍♀️ about these bikes, when we had a few 350 Classic in sand with the retro brown saddle and dual purpose tyres, we got quite popular every where you parked. And both guys and girls equally are impressed.

Freddie, wonderful looking Bike, but you forgot to get Monica's view on how comfortable the bolt on back seat was !😢

@Broadsboatman 11 months ago

I have the meteor 350. Every time I go out on her, I get so many comments. People think she is an old bike and are flabbergasted when I tell them she is only 2 years old. I tour around the norfolk broads area. It is so beautiful and loads to visit. Coffee shops and Riverside pubs everywhere.

@gzk6nk 11 months ago

Someone said that Goan looks like it's come off a kiddies roundabout, and it really does! Garish colours, white wall tyres, and a pure 1950s headlamp shade!

@JulianPerry-r4k 11 months ago

If a bike makes you feel like that, they’re definitely doing something right! That’s what motorcycling is all about - not too serious, just fun and feeling good. Your enjoyment of that bike is so clear from your video, anyone would want to try it out. What a tonic in a sometimes gloomy world 👍

Always a pleasure to start the day with Monika and Freddie and☝️......a great looking small bike, Royal Enfield does a better job than any other brand when it comes to looks and prices ❤❤ hi from holland guys

As a morning person, I love those early videos!

@nickaskham3055 11 months ago (edited)

I have the classic 350 in red as your showed on Monicas phone. It was that video you made that convinced me to buy it. I love it so much I will never sell it, but this Goan!! I shared your anguish with that descision. Thank you for cheering up my Sunday.

@michaelmcclean9687 11 months ago

Dancin', Freddie, dancin'. Perfect. I dance every time I'm on my Classic. Great video.

@PintSki 10 months ago

the goan is my 8th bike, race, dirt, chopper, naked, had en all, this is by far my favourite one, it just asks to cruise , easy,slowly, enjoying the ride.

@gojosatorou-w9l 11 months ago

Love the vibe here, felt like watching a feel good telefilm

my second comment...Freddie captured the one thing about bikes....a feel good bike...those that remeber the original yellow beetles and vw vans evoked this feeling........this is the epitome of bike ownership.....character...
RE has pretty amazing bikes...and this one is leagues above any...

Freddie ...i love your channel....your infectious outlook is amazing...the world needs more Freddies
