    Hunter does everyday 55 miles with me and so far very capable workhorse even in cutthroat traffic, it is a terrific handler in neck to neck traffic, gives 25miles per liter easily in city

      That miles per gallon is amazing on this bike!

    I have a new Hunter which I am running-in in accordance with the manufacturer’s handbook. I enjoyed your video, but felt very uncomfortable watching a brand new bike being taken to the limit on its first outing.
    Stuart Fillingham has a comprehensive video about running-in a new motorcycle on his channel. I encourage you to watch it.

      It's a demo bike though. They are there to sell other hunters.
      If people rode them at running in speed they probably wouldn't learn anything about it or buy one.
      They'll sell it on as demo and before it takes too much stick.
      Someone will be happy to make a saving and all will be good.

    Does have different map from Classic 350 & has shorter wheel base & sharper rake in forks making it nimble.Has floating motor design so motor is apart of frame giving lower center of gravity.Once run in will be smoother & slightly faster & cruise at 70mph easy.

    Nice to see it reaches 80 with a tight new engine.
    Should be good for uk roads where 70 is the max legal limit.
    I'm considering it as a commuter where I'll never go more than 60.
    It's currently £3683 otr here for the dapper variant.
    So that's like moped money really.

    Howdy neighbor, from Mo. City TX. Great video. I love the style, price, and fuel economy of this Hunter 350. I might get one for my Houston commute. I’m 6’2” 230 lb’s and average a speed of 40-70 mph. Do you think this Hunter 350 would be a good recommendation? Please say yes 😅

    • @EspressoRacer
      @EspressoRacer  Рік тому +1

      Hey man! I would absolutely think this bike would be great for you! 70-80mph is about the top speed you'll get on this bike, but this would make a PERFECT commuter bike. Check it out at Iron Supply in Katy, TX and let me know what you think! Keep in touch with me on Instagram @Espresso.Racer and ask me any other questions you may have

    I'm really digging the Hunter 350, but I really wish it also had an analog tachometer.

      From what I was told this had to do with shortages for chips when they were in production. But you can find a tach on Hitchcock moto to fit it.

      If you want a putt putt around town bike, this is OK. The Speed 400 is so much more of a bike than this. Twice the horsepower and lighter weight.

      @@EspressoRacer no need to look for TVS they tried to challenge Hunter by launching a 225cc ronin that failed miserably in India, they are good in sub 300 cc segment only , even their 310 cc joint development with bmw is a failure here that is selling as gs 310, g310r from bmw. The only real competition to hunter but 50% costlier is triumph speed 400 That bajaj made with Triumph, In India RE commands more than 90% market share in 300-700 cc segemnt

    Uncomfortable watching… thrashing a new bike and appalling clutch and downward changes. Before you start doing reviews learn how to down change properly etc. painful to watch.

    Awesome bike with awesome bark! Love the sound of this thing. I get what your trying to show case, but you should run it like that when it’s yours. Kinda put it through the wringer for a bike with only 2 miles on it. There is such a thing called “break in period”. Someone’s going to get a deal on a poorly broke in ride. Too bad🫤
