    It's a pretty little machine and certainly great value for money.
    I regret that something exactly like this wasn't available when I was learning to ride in the mid 1980s.
    Many Japanese bikes had some similarities and the old RE 350 Bullet was available but the Hunter is something else.
    I'd love one as a second bike.
    My current bike is a 2019 Continental GT 650.

      Yes, that would’ve been great. There were small interceptors and ninjas, and this isn’t a lot different than a 500 Nighthawk. But yes, this would’ve been a great 80s bike.

    Glad that you liked the Hunter 350, but the bigger sibling of your meteor 350, the flagship Royal Enfield Super meteor 650 is on its way to the States 😍 Super excited for your review on that as soon as its available at the dealerships there!😍

    Torn between the Hunter and the Meteor for my first bike.

    • @motopicnic
      @motopicnic  Рік тому

      Test ride them both and get a sense of what you like. The Hunter is going to be a more aggressive position, and may be a more natural position to maneuver.
      The meteor is going to be in more cruiser position which puts your feet out in front of you a little bit, and makes it harder for you to stand up over things like railroad tracks, but makes it comfortable for a long ride.
      I also don’t know your size, but look at the 411 scram or Himalayan as well

      If you plan on taking a passenger, the Meteor with a backrest may be the way to go. The seat(s) are a little longer. The Hunter does have a backrest option, but the seat is shorter. Decisions, decisions.😉✌🏾

      Funny you should ask… video is coming. But the Himalayan is surprisingly comfortable for either of us to ride. It may be a little more knee be bend than you like, depending on your height. But it handless heavy guy just fine, even at 70mph

      That’s a great question. She LOVE’s Her meteor. She’ll never sell it.
      But she is selling her Bonneville T120 (too heavy) and she just bought a Himalayan for more adventurous, upright riding. So far she loves that too.
      But her sister is about to buy the Hunter and it’s the perfect commuter and curve carver for her.
      Both ladies are under 5’4”
      If you need to stand up or do occasional gravel roads etc, the Hunter or Himalayan are better choices. The Meteor is just really comfortable in the road.

      It depends on your experience and what state you are in. You can call an agent or get online and get a quote. But motorcycle insurance is typically cheaper than cars.
      It could range from $300-900/year
      I would imagine this Hunter 350 would be cheap insurance.

      Bikes are like cars. It's the way they look, sound, feel to ride.
      They aren't judged purely on power. It's a consideration but not the most important because the majority of the time most people ride at a speed the RE bikes are capable of. I mean do you really accelerate hard and go over 75 all the time.
      Saying that I like the z400 and have considered one but it just wouldn't give you the same feeling of riding something like the classic 350.
