Great review video! I've had my Hunter for 2 months now and it's all nicely run in and I'm luvin it!! I can see how the Hunter might appeal to the younger riders but, at 67, it's right up my street too. It kind of reminds me of a grown up Royal Enfield Crusader 250, from the 1960s, which is still a great looking bike. I liked your interview with the guy from RE (UK), it was nice to hear some of the technical changes they've made for the Hunter, compared to the other two 350s. Watched your review on the Classic 350 and enjoyed that too. All the best Phil (UK)
I've had the chance to test ride a hunter and man it was one of the most enjoyable experience. As a lady rider a bit on the short and skinny side 🤣 this is super beginner and lady rider friendly. I can manage the weight and move it around no problem unlike the one classic I own which is 250cc. It looks really gorgeous too. Looks badass on ladies :) Cheers from the Philippines sir :)
Test rode one today, its a very solid bike. Good to ride around town, commute here and there if ya not in a hurry. The bike can do 80-100 kmph comfortably all day. If i wanna go faster than that I have another bike for the job 😂
Very enjoyable film I need to test ride the Hunter here in the South of England,my Royal Enfield classic 500 is amazing and great for country lanes around the South downs or a pint in a rural pub, we need your Sunshine here a bit chilly.
Flickable.....appreciate input from Mark Welles. Great to see RE getting out with the people who care. Speaks volumes. What a smooth looking color scheme. Grear Vlog Brother!
really nicely done video. Enjoyable to watch. I had a Himalayan, but sold it after a little more than a year. It was a bit too tall for me at my age and height. But, the Hunter looks like a winner...
Have the Himalayan also Dave. With a trashed back, I was wondering how the Hunter is on the back. Charlie...across the Pond lowered her Himalayan like 1 1/2 inches. Can raise them also.
Great review Nice scenery.The interview was good and the comments about riding the bike were very informative. One of the best Hunter videos on RU-vid.
Looking forward to getting my first bike. I’m still deciding which one to get. I’m torn between the Svartpilen 401, RE Int 650 and this one. My deciding factor comes to which one I would hold on for life. Great review!
Depends on your height and inseam. The Hunter 350 is slightly taller than the Classic, but both have a nice rider triangle of seating position, footpegs, and handlebar reach.
My take would be that the 350 line in general might feel a bit small for riders over 5’10”, and yet I know taller riders who love them. The Hunter has a slightly taller seat height then the Classic and Meteor, and there were a couple of guys on this press launch that were over 6’, and they enjoyed it. I’m 5’8”, and felt it fit me perfectly. Best thing to do, in our opinion, is take one for a test ride, and see what you think.
82 mph indicated is probably no more than 75 actual mph. 'Still impressive (though I wouldn't want to keep it there for very long), and the looks and sound are great. Honda sold the GB500 years ago, and Yamaha tried the SR500, but neither failed to gain traction, sales-wise. This bike, at this price, deserves to be a sales success for R.E. in the U.S.
I’m not the only small sized moto journalist who’s squeezed 80+ out of it. A writer for Cycle World ticked it as well. It definitely is worth it’s very reasonable price point.
