Is 20HP Enough? Why I Chose the Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Silent POV

This Royal Enfield Classic 350 Silent POV ride follows the return journey through countryside roads, village streets and evening traffic, with a motorcycle photoshoot at an old, closed roadside gas station. The question behind the ride is simple: is roughly 20 horsepower actually enough? Turn on CC for optional commentary. I understood the Classic 350’s performance limits before buying it. I also considered the Interceptor 650, but outright power was not my only priority. I preferred the Classic’s design, manageable performance and pillion arrangement, which appeared better suited to the short two-up rides I had in mind. At 09:40, the ride pauses beside weathered fuel pumps for a short photoshoot. The old gas station gives the Classic’s chrome, Emerald finish and traditional shape a fitting backdrop—and captures another reason I chose this motorcycle. This is not an argument that slower motorcycles are automatically safer or that 20HP is enough everywhere. Faster roads reveal the compromise, and for a long motorway journey I would choose another motorcycle—or sometimes a car. But on roads like these, the Classic 350 fits what I wanted remarkably well. Would you choose the more powerful motorcycle, or the one that better matches your actual rides?
