I took a test ride and was instantly amazed by the smooth engine and the throttle response. It's unbelievably good from a brand like Royal Enfield.

Just test drove it, every word of this review is true. The bike feels unbelievably light and nimble.

with all due respect, i have test-driven the hunter 350, and I own a cb350. the cb350 rs would smoke the crap out of the hunter 350.

REs have always been attraction but this model may actualy see more buyers because of 20kgs weight reduction which makes it more agile and usable for larger masses and may give higher fuel economy as well if driven around 70~80 kmph

Exactly what the Indian customer wanted. Little more refinement in a smaller package

Honestly, I never liked any of RE bikes except Meteor. But that’s not something I would ride on an everyday basis. I’ve been looking for a bike with basic specs and retro looks, with a little bit of character, and finally, my search is over. I loved this bike and definitely going to buy it. And as always, great review. Love your style of reviewing. Thanks man. *hearts*

It reminds me years ago in the late 70s when Kawasaki introduced a budget KZ400 which came without a tachometer, and had drum brakes on the front. The price was approximately 75% of the normal KZ400.

Really nice .. tnx May be another episode like the one u did for all the retro bikes

what a relaxing and pleasing review - no loudness in any aspect!

An amazing design..looks like mini Street twin🔥

RE just nailed it 🔥 out of the park 🤞 this will change REs future🤞

Rishad your reviews are getting seriously good 👍🏽 . Kudos and keep up the good work

RE is consistent to give always some character to their bikes... 👍🏼👍🏼

Yep! It did change my mind! I am a Naked Sport or Racing Sport guy. Just a casual visit to RE and I had a test drive. And yes, it’s not like a typical RE. For the first time it appealed my taste. I am a 6 feet tall guy. I did feel this was little short bike for me but after the test ride. Damn! This is going to appeal many who are going to try RE first time. Smoother than any other REs and yet powerful. I just wished it had 6 gear setup. Nice thought by RE engineers it’s a breaking change. Kudos to Eicher Motors!

Nicely put together review as always! 👏👏

I've never liked any RE bike,never would've considered even once...until this!! Designers have nailed the looks and proportions,there's enough going for this bike to be a runaway success especially considering the price. If it rides half as great as it looks I'm buying it.

It looks great.One of the best looking motorcycle in its class😍🙂.Great review,loved it.

Absolutely superb. The Hunter seems perfect. 💫❤️

Excellent review. Really tempted to buy this as my first Enfield. The looks are killer. The pricing is too.

An amazing looking bike with a sporty chassis design. I don't know why RE thought that the classic's thumper of an engine would be enough for this bike which has clearly been designed to be agile...

When I learnt they are launching lightest RE and when I looked at it's hatke modern styling, I booked it on the first day! I had almost decided to buy TVS Ronin before this. Everything's great, I just wish the seating position could have been a little relaxed.

Okay good will wait for comparison with others

I CAN'T WAIT till the Hunter 350 comes to the US! Too bad it won't be until next year... :(

I can't afford it...but i feel addicted to this bike...I literally had to go for a run to stop thinking about it today.

I wished that Royal Enfield could made a bike like this but with its 650cc engine, it would be a lot of fun!!

Model of royal Enfield bikes.......is awesome for riders....let's.....be a part of it .

Make this a single seater and see how badass this would look.

This anchor worth every penny 💯🔥

I am eagerly waiting to see comparison video between Meteor, Hunter and Ronin from you guys.

A bigger tank if could have given made the looks much cooler, but this bike will surely be the most popular bike from R.E

Companies should produce a comfort commuter bike segment and it will be a relevant segment for indian roads

Incredible that a direct currency conversion gives a price UK pounds of under £1,600. If only.

I want this bike design available in 500+ cc (preferably 600 cc) with a good thump exhaust note.

Good review done 👍

I feel that this bike can prove to be a good beginners' bike especially for the women bikers who want to start their biking journey.

As a 6'1" rider, I'm immediately looking at 9:19 and thinking "Yep... I need handlebar risers before anything else."

RE has got something right with the hunter. I am seeing girls riding the new hunter on the streets. Kudos

As someone who was never a fan of old & sluggish looking RE's of the past, Yes RE has definitely done a great job to appeal to broader demographic.

Honda charges premium for a reason. They certainly have better engineered bikes. Riding the RE's & CB350 siblings back to back clearly proves that. But sometimes Honda commands too much of a premium that is not justifiable. Even the locally assembled Hondas are relatively pricey compared to the competition. RE's do have unmatched comfort & customisation options in this segment.

I paid more and got Honda instead of going to apache RTR 200 still now i don't know whether I made right decision. My friend in UK bought RE Meteor he didn't face any major issue.

Royal Enfield should launch a seperate brand for these modernish motorcycles. Because Royal Enfield should never forget the classic retro designs of the classic.

Manifesting this bike ... I think i have seen all the reviews on hunter 350 😭...

Would you say the teardrop gas tank from the hunter is narrower than the one from the meteor? I know is like an standard in crusier bikes, but that and the wide seat were the two things I didn't like. But man I loved the yellow from the Meteor, it's a shame Hunter doesn't come in that color.

RETRO!! For his classic style and simple color!!
