2023 HNTR 2023 Full Review || BIG SURPRISE! || Royal Enfield 

I am from India. And this is my first bike i bought a month back. Its absolutely a fun to ride machine. The thump from the engine really takes all your worries away. Cheers to all the hunter 350 owners out there! And it really feels good to hear such damn pretty things about a bike you own! Thanks Will!

Modern bike with old school appeal . It is a dream come true . Beautiful air cooled engine . Long stroke piston , two valves . There is nothing about this bike to dislike .

Each to their own. I love my Hunter, and it puts a wide smile on my face. And it sounds better than the other 350s with the stock exhaust. Hi from Ireland.

I recently bought the Classic 350 in New Orleans Louisiana USA and rode it to Atlanta Georgia covering over 800 miles in 4 days. I am 220 pounds/ 100 kilograms, and the 350 was so much fun to ride. It's like a grown up Honda Grom.

I've always loved singles but was sceptical that I could live with such a low powered machine - after test riding one I was sold and ordered one the next day. As you say it's not quick but the low down delivery, handling and fantastic sound make it so enjoyable to ride and own. I truly believe the 'secret sauce' is its lazy long stroke 2 valve engine that is pretty unique in the market. If you're a year round commuter the servicing schedule will be frequent but this bike is also a home mechanics dream once the warranty is done.. This experience has certainly taught me not to discount anything until you've actually tried it.

Just done over 3000 miles on my Rebel Red (need to book that second service!). Been camping on it twice this summer with all the gear, it didn't miss a beat. Commuting 12miles each way over the South Downs twice a week is a joy! Love the sound, the fuel economy and especially the little backfire on the overrun! I look back at it when it's parked, I go round Sainsbury's trying to spot it out the window and walk back to my office from the despatch area at work via the car park just so I can look at it. The flowing lines of that teardrop tank merge into the curve of the seat so beautifully. Everyone should have one!

As a returning rider from a hiatus of some 35 years, I purchased my Hunter after falling in love with the looks of the bike, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a blast to ride. I’ve taken mine on everything from city streets, US Highways, and on mountain roads in North Carolina doing some much longer rides and moto camping even, and it’s performed exceptionally well, especially on the curves and bends which were where it shinned. I even had an 80 liter bag on the back with all my camping gear going up and down mountain roads and twisties with absolutely no problem. The seat is super comfy, which doing a couple of hours on it and you don’t feel the least bit tired, fully ready to do more of the same. 😊

I used to commute in London on my ex'military Matchless 350 in the 1960"s went everywhere ,all over u.k. easy to maintain and typically about 50mph (no motorways) happy on farm tracks or narrow lanes. The wind in your face ,you knew you were going somewhere.Good for R.E. for this heritage bike , I am tempted to go riding again .

i am a older rider and had a lots of motor bikes but this Hunter 350 beats almost every thing what the riding fun concerns , i got it now 8 months and love it , the bigger brother my 650 Interceptor is also lots of fun but differrent and very good value for money too .

I like your opinion; the Meteor 350 was my first bike for this just over 50 guy last year. Everyone said I would quickly grow out of it and need a bigger bike. But I had the same answer...why would I want to spend 4-5 times as much for a bigger, heavier bike, that I will try to ride the same way. I don't need to break the speed limit, pop wheelies or outrun the popo so it would just be a waste

Recently found a used 2023 Hunter, Rebel Blue, with the barend mirrors, bash plate, and the engine guards already installed for $3500 US. Only 1100 miles on the clock. First oil change and tappet service already done. This motorbike is absolutely perfect for two lane, country, back road jaunts, and for in town errand running. It is a well behaved, polite and an easy going, laid back motorcycle. Your review is spot on. R.E. really hit a home run with this motorcycle.

I own a hunter 350 and I love riding this bike. Its got loads of road presence and character and sounds good for a single cylinder

When you sit a little forward, your knees fit perfectly in the tank’s knee pad area. This is a big part of making you not feel like a bear on a tricycle.

You may be interested in knowing, The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Is not only popular in India, But also in Australia, Indonesia, Europe, and America now,! I own a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, I've just put a deposit on a Rebel Red Hunter 350 For a second bike, Great bike's, Cheers Paul

Great review! I agree. The RE Hunter replaced my scooter as my daily ride this year and being late to work has never been more fun. Full throttle on the country road, sneaking through the city jam and a nice relaxed ride on the way back. fuel consumption and servicing fees are tiny. It's a great choice if you want a practical yet fun bike. The suspension and engine size is an issue if you are a bigger bloke, if you are fearhet weight like me, no issue whatsoever. Bikes are like shoes, there isn't one to fit everyone.

I wasn't into the bikes til I bought this one when it was first launched in India last year. It's going to be one year and I can confidently say that after riding it for 6500+ kms, buying hunter 350 was one of my best decisions of my life. Yes, suspension is still a major problem specially while covering Indian roads but for a person with shorter height (5' 6" as of mine) this is one of the coolest, low cost Royal Enfield one can afford.

The engine makes it go predictably without a lot of clutch work at low gears. Really smooth delivery. And it is beautiful!

I've had mine a few months now, nearly 2000 miles and loving it to bits 😊

I own one of these. Fantastic bike. Also worth a mention, is the fuel economy. I regularly get 95+mpg from it. The hunter has surprised a few of my bigger bike owning friends.

I have a Meteor, great fun and we have just done 600 miles in Scotland with 2 up and luggage-no problem. My Street Twin is fab, but the Enfield is fun!

Had one for a couple of months, I'm a shorter rider and the bike is soooo easy to flick around and ride in towns compared to my big bikes. As they loosen up they become noticeably quicker too. Love mine.

Just brought this bike , absolutely beautiful ride !! First “big” bike since having a 125 and it’s amazing!

Love it! Have enjoyed seeing how much it's grown on you!

What a review and video. So good mate. Perfect mix of info and entertainment. Keep pushing 💪🏼

It's a brilliant bike , I owned an Interceptor for three years , traded it in for a Classic 350 which I love to ride daily, and now want a Hunter as well after having a test ride , for my wife , as she loves the look of the Hunter It's lovely looking bike!

Your videos are a breath of fresh air among some motorcycle reviewers and I am very glad I discovered your channel. I like the style of the videos and you have very interesting opinions even on a bike like this, where I felt like everything has already been said. Good job and keep on going!

Excellent review, thanks!

Very enjoyable video! I've got the Meteor and like everything except the suspension, wich is a bit hard in the rear. But I agree totally with you that there is a lot of fun to be had on a bike like this.

It's a great little bike for exploring rural back roads. If I didn't already have a Scram, I'd certainly buy one, having taken a demo out recently. Agreed, it's a very engaging little bike and looks good too.

Another very nice review. Great.❤

Bro your contents are great ,wish you get a good support throughout.😊

I really enjoy your video, I am thinking in buy one for me, the model Classic is beautiful. thank for the review.

They got the design spot on ,well done RE!

Very good review. Nice and thoughtfull brought. Thanks. Subscribed to your Channel. Stay safe!

As someone who owns Hunter and a Classic 500. I have to day for city riding I love the Hunter. I'd actively deal with carrying stuff on the bike rather than taking the car. Its so fun to drive it and someone who's 5'9 and 80kgs I think the suspension is superb. Also I'm talking about Indian roads here

Excellent video my friend! 👌🏼

Thanks for the bike review!!

Looks more than decent enough. And a perfect fit for me. It's always nice a to see a bike being ridden in my area, and on roads I know well.

I like the color grading mate ;)

Beautiful review ♥️

What a coincidence, I just watched this bike on the road and that driver asked any address from my friend whome I was talking to and I was just looking at the bike cause it's so amazing after he went to his destination then I start talking about the bike from my friend and then I found this video.❤

Just got mine last week. Oh man, I love it. I just find silly excuses to ride it all the time.

I bought a red one... I love it, more fun than my Harley somehow?? Just put a Kent performance cam and dna filter in it, made quite a bit of difference 😊

I have a SuperM 650 and I rode one hunter from a family friend. I am really impressed and would love to own this for daily city ride.

Let's go!!

There are suspension upgrades for the front and rear of these, so for a nominal cost you can stiffen up both ends to handle higher weight, without sacrificing much in the way of comfort.

I ride a 1100 moto guzzi. It is a monster at 660 lbs and frighteningly fast. I really like the Royal Enfields, they seem like the best deal out there today. I bought the moto guzzi used and just giving it what it needed battery, tires, shocks, fluid changes, and replacing speedo cost me over $1000 and I do all the work myself. For about the same money (used cost plus maint) I could get a Royal Enfield new. They are a good deal.

You deserve a follow my dude.

Same bike here, same conclusion, delicious bike, love it.

Great video . Retired i Mountains of Ecuador .Coast 3 + hours away. Cuenca is a city of 500,000 + Many narrow streets and tight parking . Traffic is respectful but rules are loose . Have a little Honda Navi. Perfect for living in the city . Need a bike to get around the city . But also get to the beach . Hunter maybe ? Bought a bike with a big windshield once . Right home and took it off . Could't see my front tire eating up the road and feeling the resistance against my chest . Maybe to old to keep riding . Definitely to stupid to quit . Hahaha

Very nicely said.

And don't forget the price point, smiles per mile, and the great fuel economy 😊 oh yeah and the ease of maintenance 👍🏻

Ya here in India hunter and speed 400 are very appealing to the younger riders, but so far haven't heard a bad review on the speed, gotta see if it's gonna keep that up!

lovely video

Like the bike, like you said back suspension needs a tad more travel, what I'd like to see is a Hunter 410! That little bit more motor. Good video!!

There's a USB a la left handlebar snuck away behind the grip. Very intently useful.

This is by far the best review I’ve seen, of any bike 🔥. It looks like you pull away from the red lights quite easily. Is this bike “fun” enough in the city I mean, will going from 0 to 30/50 feel quick, or will it feel dull? The top speed is fine with me, I just want fun in the low end, on the weekend and on my way to work. Thanks in advance🎉

I joyfully owned a meteor but the riding position whilst feeling initially comfy, gave me back ache ( pre-existing age related issue) and needed a more standard riding position..only trouble is it's physically too small..had it been more "500" than "250" I'd have stayed with RE as those 20hp engines are a peach and so smooth but the interceptor represents the physically smallest bike I can deal with much as I prefer the hntr

My bike ❤. I love him. My hunter 350.

Nice little bike, I've not ridden the Hunter, but I have ridden a Meteor 350. At the time I had a Rocket lll but suffered a stroke early 2022 and found the Rocket too heavy after my recovery. I sold the Rocket to a friend, I was gutted as at 66 years old at the time I thought this was the bike to have till I shuffled off this mortal coil. I tried many bikes including the Meteor 350, a cracking little bike but after the Rocket 20bhp was distinctly feeble, although around town and on country roads it was brilliant. I ultimately ended up with a Benelli 502C as I find a lot of bikes these days don't mesh with my stiff, non-bendy joints. I did try an Interceptor 650 but found it uncomfortable. I've ended up with an immaculate Kawasaki Drifter VN800, possibly if the Super Meteor had come out I would have bought one of them. I'm a new subscriber so I'm working my way through your channel.

Love Royal Enfield....350 is cool everyday bike ❤

Nice Video

Suited for ladies and beginner🌟🌟

I bought my hunter in June of this year and I ended up dislocating my shoulder in August. Now I've to wait till atleast January to start riding it again. I miss it so much man. I've absolutely zero regrets in buying this little beast. The only problem that I faced so far is how easily it gets dirty in a country like India during monsoons 😂

Excellent review of a bike that represents outstanding value for money. Very informative. Which gloves are you using? Many thanks

I have been thinking about getting a motorcycle license for many years, but haven't really dared to do it - until I saw their motorcycles in a review where it was recommended for beginners. They are the only ones that look super cool, I'm already a huge fan of their design without knowing anything else. The "only" problem is that they make so many cool motorcycles that it's super hard to choose. #royalenfield #royalenfieldmotorcykles

"Mostly" like the styling, like the tank, but not a fan of the squiggly seat and the droopy side-panel. Is goofy a style? Could live with the alloy wheels. Nice tight package though.

Mindblowing 👌🏻👌🏻❤‍🔥Review & My fav bike too #Hunter350

About the suspension, have you tried firming up the preload on the rear? It's apparently adjustable - great review, thanks

Thanks for the excellent review! Looks like an excellent bike, though the styling isn't my cup of tea, personally. Taste is subjective, however, and I can see it's charm. You mention wind resistance as a negative, though you didn't in your T120 review. Would you say the same applies to both bikes? I'm 58 and only passed my test two weeks ago. Bought an Interceptor, and love it. Looking forward to watching more on your channel. Cheers

Good review mate. I'm also 6ft 3" and I was wondering how it would feel with me on it. I've sold my car, because of all the poxy electronics and sensors, that I can't fix myself. I used to be a very competent mechanic. Is the 350 Hunter easily fixed without having to buy expensive tools and scanners to detect faults?

I've had my meteor now for two years and have just pushed through 29,000 miles of effortless riding. Whilst the meteor is a more relaxed ride than the hunter I agree with your comments - the perfect machine for a 35 mile commute on B roads and two or three lane A roads. Keeps up with traffic and has never let me down. Home servicing is straightforward and all the access is easy. A screen is a must though, especially for winter riding! RE have really hit a home run with the latest J series of bikes.

still quiet fresh to motorcycles (I just strated watching Moto Vlogs and Test Rides again after not doing so a long time), but damn I wanna get a motorcycle license so bad... I just wish I had the money to pay for all of it rn (plus I need to turn 24 to do the open license over here in Germany, which I am still a month shy off atm). I honestly feel like this is one of those things where actually thinking about doing it is a sign to just go ahead and do it sooner rather then later... I was getting into Motorcycles because of a little show called Sons Of Anarchy and once I realized, that Motorcycles aren't just big ass harleys and 16 year olds on their 125 dirtbikes being douchy the finally bug bit me ina way that feels like it should turn into more then just watching some videos... I wanna be a part of this

Bike King 👑 Royal Enfield 👑

Looks like a small motorcycle with a big heart.

Here in india, people have taken the hunter for touring to ladakh with heavy luggage, i personally own this bike and im a tall rider, surprisingly pillions are really comfortable on the bike, this bike is really something else😂

Nice review of RE HNTR 350🎉

Can anyone recommend a nice and affordable aftermarket suspension for this bike as I don't know anything about suspensions. For reference, my weight is 72kg.

This is a beginner's bike, something that is not too heavy and is simple to ride. Besides that, it can be your daily commuter in the city as well as something for the backroads. If you fall under this category, this bike is for you and it's relatively cheap and has low maintenance.

Good salesman

Ive fallen in love with the look of this bike. I currently have a Harley and a 50cc scooter. I may have found a replacement for my scooter...

Definitely don’t use 5th gear for passing. 4th gets you to the top speed :)

I was heavily considering the Classic 350 but this has given me pause... time to book a test ride.

Brilliant bike...love my hunter...so much so I'm selling my BMW rt1150 and yamaha fazer....might add a classic to the stable!

Love the look of the bike and price, if i didnt go out in group rides i would have brought one but as i do i ended up with a trident, but if the new 400 speed was available at the time i would of got that, good review👍

Right mate, you've convinced me. I'm gonna buy one. I've never seen the need for a big cc bike with me arse stuck up in the atmosphere... I've never felt me arse is that pretty, to be honest. I'd rather ride a little slower, enjoy the ride, and arrive at my destination in one piece rather than wrapped around a tree... Although the 75mph top speed of this thing is more than sufficient for NZ's nanny road rules and 60mph max...

I have a Himalayan and am of similar size to you. I actually think the Classic 350 is the best of the bunch for taller riders as the pegs are a bit forward and you can scoot back on the seat, the Himalayan seat dumps you forward the whole time and your knees rub up against the corners of the tank awkwardly. You can also readily swap out the rear shocks on the Classic and Hunter easier than on the Himalayan or Meteor 350 - twin shocks are easier to access and cheaper to find upgrades for! The main downside of the Enfield singles to me is the service schedule. Valve checks every 6k miles are just impractical. Sure these bikes are relatively easy to check and adjust the valves on, but if you commute on your bike you can end up needing to do this multiple times a year which is just a pain. If you buy one of these bikes and do 6k miles in the first year that's 2 valve checks! I think this works fine for those who have more than one bike so can't put miles on all of their machines, but if the Enfield is your only bike you end up rationing out your mileage also to avoid needing to take the tank off and open up the engine again. Dealers tend to charge £250 for the service so if you don't have your own garage to do the work in then the costs of these services can really add up.

I was looking at one of those, because they are good looking. However, it weighs the same as my Kawasaki Z 400 that I bought salvaged and fixed up a little.

You missed the most important factor for me .. vibes, the kind of vibrations you get on adventures/tours make or break a bike for me.. so, are there vibrations in the bars or pegs or seat ? Thx

my best bike is my 300cc 27hp scooter because it works on real world daily riding so efficiently that is in practice faster than any 200hp motorbike...sometimes less is more

When petrol is so expensive and we are suffering from inflation, this bike is perfect economical ride.

your commentary is poetic lol

As a recent owner of a Hunter 350 I can tell you some of the Negatives regarding the Motorcycle. If you owned a larger displacement MC you will immediately recognize the lack of Power this Motorcycle has. Iwas going up a long hill in high gear and the bike started slowing down. I was compelled to downshift to maintain speed. The stock rearview mirrors are great if you like staring at your shoulders instead of traffic. On the plus side it is a very attractive MC . Triumph inspired for sure. Too bad the bike lacks guts.😢😢😢

How did you find this bike in terms of your height, I really like this bike, but I’m 6’3” and afraid I’d be too tall for it. Did you find this to be an issue? I’d be only planning to use it for weekend country spins.

Do you think it can do scrambling if you change tyres?

I was hoping you could help with a newbie question. I’m a new almost 50 rider! Learning on a Yamaha XSR125 legacy which I think is great. It will happily sit at 65-70 on dual carriage way, it’s light, has dual purpose tyres so happy in some lumpy back lanes. I’m not going to be breaking any limits, got my full licence test around October this year. Would you consider this bike (albeit a lot cheaper) a step up? Guess I’d need to ride my self but would love a more experienced persons opinion. Thanks

how would this be for a starter bike?

Nice little bike, dif worth the money 💰 my only concern is that huge Royal on the tank it makes the bike look cheap and if it was a Red tank I'm afraid everyone would think your the Postman. Digital clocks are another pet hate of mine. Great bike but don't paint a classic bike in bright colours. Nato Green or Grey and proper Royal Enfield Badge.

interested to hear of any owners that have planed or done an upgrade to the shocks on one of these

Finally a Moto reviewer of proper human size! While you’re a bit smaller and shorter than myself it’s close enough for government work. Good video on a good bike, it’d be a great second bike for most of us I recon. Perfect for summer months in the country. Cheap as chips and good quality to boot. One pointer; please wear proper riding boots. Those sneakers looked sketchy.
