    Do you think the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is better than the Classic 350, or the latter is still the better RE to buy? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

    The hunter looks trendy and cool but the seating position is what made me decide for the Classic 350. It fits my laid-back, relaxed riding style. More like cruising than riding actually.

      I am a smol 5’5 South East Asian guy. This is my first manual motorcycle. I have test ridden all the 350’s extensively and I chose the classic 350 for overall seating comfort during long-ish weekend rides. The Hunter looks like a snappy urban commute but it does not fit my riding needs. Soon, I will be upgrading tho.

    The Hunter is a looker and sounds great. Would be my choice. Two years ago I did choose the Triumph Trident 660 over the RE Interceptor. The RE is too heavy for the HP it has. The extra price was not the decider, but the weight.

  • @manikberry702
    @manikberry702 Рік тому +9

    I’m 26. Took a test ride of both these two weeks ago and went with the Classic. My second bike. Hunter exhaust sounds hollow, and the classic may look like a slow-mover, but that seating is comfy and the bike almost effortlessly sits at 60-70 kph in the city.
    The hunter might seem faster, but the classic has bigger wheels, upright ergonomics, and a better sounding exhaust. Anyway, that’s my two-cents. You do your test ride before buying. ✌🏼

    I like the Classic, for stile and looks. One thing you left out is MPG and range per tank of gas, two very important things for us living in the country, and who to travel the back roads where gas stations are few and far. I want the Himalayan 450 and the classic in my stable. Just need a dealer hear on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    I bought 2017 model classic 350 for the cost of 1.33 lakh with 38km and I'm using bike from past 6 months. In these 6 months bike got some problems to repair
    By spending 23k nearly I repaired all that problems
    So even now also I'm not using bike with complete satisfaction by having rust issues and small small repairs
    So now can I go with hunter 350 or continue with my classic 350

    The one thing most reviews miss is that the Hunter feels much lighter than it actually is. 14kg is not that much of a difference wrt to numbers. It feels much more lighter than that. I rode these 2 bikes on test ride and this fact is instantaneously noticeable.

    • @BikeWaleOfficial

      Yes, it masks its weight well. However, both the motorcycles are equally flickable, and light on their feet.

    The crank cases on the classic will, just like the Interceptor and Continental oxidize if not regularly polished as will any polished alloy surface that isn't lacquered. The Hunters crankcases are anodised so it's not fair to compare them. The classics cases have oxidised due to poor maintenance 🙄

Having been first time buyer I was under this conundrum as to which one I should choose. But that’s finally clear now. All thanks to you. I have just one question sir.
