Royal Enfield enthusiasts have something special to look forward to this November with the launch of the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350. Expected to debut on November 23, this bobber-style motorcycle is built on the same J-Series platform as the Classic 350 but offers exciting hardware upgrades that cater to both style and comfort. Let’s dive into the unique features, specs, and design elements that set this new Royal Enfield model apart.
A Fresh Take on Bobber Style
The Goan Classic 350 brings classic bobber aesthetics with a tall U-shaped handlebar and striking white-wall tires that give it a distinct, retro look. Its exposed rear wheel and detachable pillion seat are nods to traditional bobber design, making this motorcycle an exciting addition to the bobber segment in India.
Built on the J-Series Platform
This is the fifth model on Royal Enfield’s J-Series platform, sharing a structural foundation with the popular Classic 350. However, the Goan Classic 350 introduces several refinements, especially in terms of comfort. The bike is designed to offer a more relaxed riding position than the Classic 350, providing a smooth and enjoyable experience on the road.
