Royal Enfield, a British motorcycle brand, has launched the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 in Europe, drawing inspiration from the iconic motorcycle culture of Goa in the 1970s and 80s. This limited-edition motorcycle is a tribute to the free-spirited and rebellious era, characterized by a unique blend of personal expression and self-discovery. The Goan Classic 350 is a bobber-style motorcycle that celebrates the anarchic movement that emerged in Goa during that time, with its design and features reflecting the spirit of freedom and nonconformity.
The motorcycle’s design is inspired by the custom model builders of Goa, with every line and detail paying homage to the era’s unembellished creations. The classic fender, “ape hanger” handlebars, low seat, and rear silhouette are all nods to the spirit of the time, when motorcyclists would strip their bikes of unnecessary features to reflect their personality. The Goan Classic 350 also features a floating single seat, whitewall tires, and spoked wheels, giving it a distinctive bobber look.
The single-cylinder 349 cc engine is calibrated for smooth and calm performance, making it perfect for relaxed, laid-back riding. The 5-speed gearbox and double cradle frame with simple suspensions using twin rear shock absorbers ensure a comfortable and harmonious ride on any road. The cross-spoke wheels with red rim are made of aluminum and accept tubeless tires, combining classicism and practicality. The riding position is relaxed, with mid-height foot controls and handlebars that are in keeping with the motorcycle’s style.
The Goan Classic 350 also features a range of modern amenities, including a gear indicator, Tripper Pod navigation system, and an accessible USB-C charging port. The LED lighting equipment and high-quality details, such as aluminum switches, add to the motorcycle’s premium feel. The limited-edition model is available in Europe in a unique color scheme called Trip Teal, which is inspired by the patterns of a mandala. The price of the Goan Classic 350 is 5,287 euros.
For those looking for even deeper customization, Royal Enfield offers a range of exclusive original accessories with a strong bobber inspiration. The Goan Classic 350 is a unique and special motorcycle that is sure to appeal to those who value individuality and self-expression. With its distinctive design, comfortable ride, and range of modern amenities, it is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a motorcycle that reflects their personality and spirit of adventure.
