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)

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 😂

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 :)

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.

when is it going to be released though?

Just a bit more bore and stroke. 500cc is good. Maybe perfect

what do you think about 6ft tall? is this bike ok or seems small? I've seen lots of opinions on this topic

@roaddirttv

10 ай бұрын

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.

@@roaddirttv that’s great to hear. This is the one reason putting people off buying them in the uk

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.
