I have completed 8k kilometers on my hunter 350 , it is a beauty . I am planning for a long ride of 750kms in the next week.

Tried the Hunter and the classic today. Huge difference in comfort and ridebillity. Pay the extra for the classic.

I love my Hunter, and completely agree with your observations. It really is a great little bike, very fun, and very capable.

Perfect bike for around town or inner city carving

Got nearly 7000ks on my Hunter. Great little commuter. I put a set of YSS shocks on the rear. Great improvement. Set of 10% stiffer springs in the forks from Hitchcocks UK improved the front. DNA air filter and intake more midrange power. (Not much). The engine is sweet as butter now. Love it.

Could i ssk model number of yss shocks because their website doesn't list shocks for the hunter here in the uk... Cheers

Even as a commuter a 350cc bike struggling to reasonably accelerate past 100kph is for myself a deal breaker. Thankyou for another great review. 👍

Comprei uma hoje é uma beleza !!!

Parabéns! Aproveite seu novo passeio.

My GB350 would have similar performance I suppose. Agree 100% with your assessment. Very capable around town, agile, cheap ownership. Even quite comfortable over distance. Just don’t expect to power up long inclines on the freeway.

@desmcd1515 honda gb350 probably has better performance at least the top end

I think I mentioned I rented a Hunter 350 here in Phuket and rode it 2 up on the mainland for a few days touring. I think 120kmph was the most I got out of it 2 up but at no point was I wanting more power. I got over speed years ago and still have the Fireblade for that if I want. But watching your video makes me want to rent that 350 again. I really loved it, and that sound is so nice. Not a raspy shit sound like a harley, but a classy sound. The 350 would be me next bike except the pillion seat slopes downward at the rear making it not very comfortable on the back. So it will be a Himalayan (original) for me. Great video as always!!

@@BikesILike I forgot to mention that rental had about 3000kms on it so the engine was well worn in and likely why we got to 120kmph. I think I could have gotten more out of it but the old ball and chain doesnt like speed.

@@colourberry Haha! Yeah I reckon it would spin up a little more with some mileage on it. Surprisingly good little bike. Learners are certainly spoilt for choice nowadays.

The part where you mention it slopes down i agree its because of the way the frame is designed would've been better if they kept it flat like a interceptor but yes that wouldve damaged int 650 image

It's a shame. RE never gave the bike another 5hp, and it would have been even better. Great review, though 👏🏻

I ve got a 1050 cc bike and a 300 cc bike, i honestly have more fun on the smaller bike, a very underestimated bike category.

Totally agree Grantley. Whenever I owned 1000+ cc inline 4's, I felt I was always holding back, whereas the smaller capacity bikes I could really lean into. Definitely more engaging at legal speeds.

Why is there no other motorcycle on the road.

As a Radio Ham, that static sounds more like a bad connection to me ?

OK cheers! I'll check to make sure the mic is correctly connected next time. It's weird how I could hear static on the 2nd unconnected recorder though.
