These type of reviews are so underrated. True, concise, and transparent. All reviews nowadays are so much edited and cinematically beautiful that it stops being organic. This was my favourite review of the bike. And i am a potential buyer rn.
So happy you hear that you liked the video. Thanks & cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore i am so sick of looking at cinematic shots of bikes from weird angles in reviews. This was so fresh. Never change. Awesome stuff. 🙇♂️
I just bought one. Big Hi from Wales 🏴
Congrats! Happy to hear.
Clarity is great
Great to see Hunter review from 2 highly experienced gentlemen...
Kudos to u👏
No unnecessary dramatic shots...
Thank you. Cheers!
Indeed fantastic, these guys are the best reviewers.
What a pleasant review this was! Really enjoyed it.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Highly sophisticated and informative review by two very experienced bikers. Very nice way to point out the shortcomings as googoos. Entire video was so fun I could go on to listen to guys. Awesome job. Subscribed!!!
Thanks! Happy to hear.
The shortcomings I refer to as “boo boos” 😀.
Thanks for the practical detailing.
Thanks! Cheers!
What an excellent review by two real gentlemen!!! Thank you🙏🏻
🙏
Love your content, very informative.
Thanks. Cheers!
Hey Bosky thank you for calling me over. Enjoyed the session with you
Cheers!
Fantastic review, subscribed!
🙏🏻
Great review! No jarring music and cinematic shots. Just an interesting and insightful conversation covering all required points. Good one! You just got one more subscriber 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Very good review! Practical information how the bike looks and handle, how it works with a pillion rider is something I like to know but something that’s missing in many European and American reviews! And also fun and entertaining to listen to these gentlemen! 👍😀
Glad you liked the review. Appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
Love the review.....like a test cricket commentary 💓
😀🙏🏻
Greatest honest review, especially about braking
Thank you.
The most informative bike review I found on the youtube.
Thank you. Regards.
Great review, bike is pretty much wonderfully crafted. I have electra and hunter.. I can feel the difference real true. Handling is good... For my height I added a handle bar raiser, this gives great posture and comfort. I rode to munnar 1 week back. Great experience.
Good to hear. Cheers!
This was so much more informative than all the pro channels!
Thank you! Glad you found it useful.
Thank you sir , your review was very helpful
🙏
No cringe, no useless info perfect review by these gentleman
Thanks. Cheers!
Nice one guys, Finally i am deciding on the white thankyou
Thanks and best wishes!
Expensive in "relative terms" - that's a brilliant statement. 👏
🙏🏻
Great real world review... Excellent job ^+^
Thank you!
this is one of the best reviews of hunter 350 i've seen so far.👏
🙏
Two gentlemen with gentle review... Luv ur review sir 👌👌
Thank you!
👌 good video in all the other reviews I have seen most of the points are covered from a rider perspective only, no one mostly concentrates on the pillion rider comfort which is so important in daily reality.
Liked the video as pillion rider comfort and many other important aspects are covered which we don't see in other reviews 👏
Glad you found it useful. Cheers!
I bought my first bike and it was the hunter 350. As a first time rider this bike is so nice. Very non-indimidating and that thump is so coool. Love it
👍
I like the way this gentleman review bikes... I feel more connected to them as they don't use jargons and convey what they want in simple and crisp words.
Thank you, happy to hear.
Took the bike briefly on horrible roads with potholes and steep bumps. Suspension is a bit on the stiffer side but I liked it. If you’re physically used to it, it’s all great! It loves to lean and it’s fantastic for the city. I’m sure this would be great for the highway too. Thanks for the video!
Good to hear your feedback on the Hunter, thanks for sharing. Glad you liked the review. Cheers!
great review nice double act. Watching from UK as thinking of buying this bike and you have more experience of it.
Thanks! Best wishes.
Nice detailed review
Thanks!
what a review.... good luck for future
Thanks. Good luck.
Good detailed review
Thank you!
Enjoying your each video…
Glad to hear. Thanks much.
Great review! Subsribed to your channel
Thanks for the sub!
I admire how articulate the presenters are in this video.
Well done sir 👏
🙏🏻
Excellent review 👌💐
🙏👍
How come i miss such a wonderful channel, after purchasing this hunter i found the gem(channel) and this video gave me a confidence that my choice of hunter over ronin and apache 2004v is so right.
🙏👍
Facing suspension issue?
@@gcoeara748 issues in the sense??
Maine bike new lia hai... Hunter... But back suspension is very bad... Back pain ho jata hai 20km travel karne par... So just asking u the same
Tremendous review by
The Gentlemen
🙏
Video was informative 👍🏼. And the most i learned from you guys is the English 😂 It was good session for me.👍🏼👍🏼
😀🙏🏻
hi, could you try to review a more "modern" kinda cruiser like the dominar 400? would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Hi! Sure will do and will work to get hold of a Dominar. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!
That “ gentlemen “ part was awesome 😂
😃
Good review, gents.
Thanks!
Mr. Bosky, hw much would be the on road price of mid variant white beauty in Bengaluru after all that accessories you mentioned you add on in your Hunter?
The on road is 199,800/- and the touring seat, pillion backrest and visor accessories are about 14,000/- I think.
Thanks for the review currently confused between this cb350rs and dominar 250 not keeping in mind the price but only the pillion comfort and performance
Hello! We suggest that you choose between the CB and the Hunter. Test ride with pillion and choose. Ride multiple times and preferably ride back to back from one showroom to the other. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for the reply and the great video you earned a sub
🙏
Greetings,
First of all, thanks for the great review!
My questions is how good is the hunter compared to Xpulse?
I stay in Bangalore and do not do much offroading, maybe would take weekend rides travelling to Hyderabad.
Please advise.
Thanks and glad you liked the review.
The two are quite different. Both are amazing for city commute with the Xp having an advantage on suspension and mileage. On the highway the Hunter will be more stable and will perform better especially when riding doubles, plus the tubeless tyres. If the roads that you mostly ride are relatively smooth then the Hunter is the way to go and is more rewarding and fun on good roads. Xpulse shines on bad roads and anywhere else it feels just a regular motorcycle.
Tough choice though!! 😀
Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore Makes sense, thanks for your response 😄.I got your point. Cheers!
Sir need to get info on interceptor suspension modification.please guide where to get that modification done
Hello! Any half decent RE mechanic should be able to do this. Regards.
There are many cases that royal Enfield bikes chassis gets cracks What is your opinion on these issues Thanks
Yes I did hear about it. Terrible thing to happen. And don’t know how many cases exactly and if it is still happening. Regards.
Gentleman’s, i have to say
like the Hunter, your review looks also young and fresh.
Subscribed and looking forward to see more about motorcycles from India.
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks much. Glad you liked the video. Cheers!
The 4 kg weaight difference in between Retro & Metro, does feel any difference in Ride & Handling. And I like the single Retro colors more appealing then the Metro Single & Dual Tone colors. Specially Retro in Black.........
We have not ridden the Retro and considering that it’s got spoke wheels we think that it will feel little more nimble than the Metro. And yes it’s a good looker too and true to its name, Retro! Cheers!
Nice
🙏
I am 6feet, I wanted something for daily commute in Banglore city, and also take it out on maybe 100-200Km rides on weekends. This looked like a great option to me, except the height. I am uncertain if it will look to small if I drive it. What's your opinion?
Hi! Once you start riding the Hunter, it is so much fun that you won't care how it looks, small or big. Take a long test ride and decide. Cheers!
Nice review 👌
Btw what is the bike's actual seat height? Some say 790mm some say 800, a bit confused.
Thank you!
The seat height as per the specs from Royal Enfield in 790mm.
Dear sir i need a advice from you, am planning to upgrade my daily commute from shine to higher cc bike (up to 350 cc)..so am planning to buy hunter or highness 350..but am in little confusion to choose which one is better for daily commute around 50 to 60 kms..so which one is better in terms of daily commute and comfort and maintenance..Thank you
Commuting only = Hunter
Commuting and long rides = CB350
@bigbearbangalore thank you sir
I'm buying this pretty bike
👍👍👍
Ronin vs Hunter Dapper variant considering same budget for City Traffic and 5.5' height.
We’ve not ridden the Ronin yet and are looking forward to trying it.
You must take a long test ride of both and choose what you feel good on. Cheers!
Will It be capable for Leh Ladakh or any other off road rides?
It should be. TVS Scooty has made it to those areas! 🙂
While it is not designed for off-road use, it can handle some bad roads for sure. As long as the rider is capable, the machine will also be. Cheers!
Royal Discussion about Royal Enfield...👍

Nice town bike, my only concern is the size of the fuel tank how much fuel to reserve?
Hi! The tank is 13 litres total capacity and reserve indicator flashes once it’s down to 4 litres in the tank. Usable fuel is minimum 12 litres which is about 300 kms range.
I was been for a test ride wasn’t happy with suspension I don’t know whether that bike had an issues with suspension can you be more specific and say me in words is this bike would be perfect for Bangalore roads without any hurts on back ?
If you have a sensitive back and the roads you regularly commute are bad, then go for a motorcycle with a soft and long travel suspension like the Xpulse.
And considering the condition of Bangalore roads, the perfect motorcycle would be a motocross one!!
Not like sensitive or something I have my Xpulse but now planning to switch to hunter but recently was been too test drive I wasn’t happy at all with that suspensions so. I don’t whether that test drive bike had an issue so to cross check I asked you about the suspension sir
Motocross one which one you are talking about ?
@@nikhilnayak3268 Bosky meant the Xpulse when he mentioned motocross. Cheers
Ah! You own an Xpulse! Nice!
Arguable one of the best suspensions is on the Xpulse. And if one is used to it then almost all other motorcycle suspensions will feel hard for sure.
And my reference to motocross is to the rally suspension that’s available for the Xpulse. Cheers!
Sir
I need your suggestions on these bikes. I'm using Honda unicorn 150cc and giving a mileage of 40 to 45kmpl. As a user what is the benefits I would be getting if I switch to these kind of bikes.
Like you could give review on switching from mileage bikes to these kind of bikes. What are the pros and cons?
Link me if you already done a video for this topic
Benefit from switching is a personal choice of budget, look, feel, comfort, image etc.
Unicorn is a gud bike with gud looks too .. but still if u want to switch than think other then hunter 350
Great review, as My first bike how good Hunter will be???
Thanks. Ride one and feel it and if it makes you smile, it’s for you!
For a first bike it’s very forgiving. Easily manageable. Hope you had a test ride?? If yes please do share your thoughts.
The disk brake system is from which brand ?
It's from BYBRE we think. The BYBRE logo is on some and not on all motorcycles.
Hi bosky,
Riding re Hunter for 6 months but not getting average more then 26 kmpl,can you help me to improve my average
Hi. If you are using it in peak hour traffic am afraid that there is little that can be done. Do a mileage test.
Please suggest mirrors for Hunter 350. The vision is so low in stock mirrors and touring mirrors cost too much.
Suzuki V-Strom 250SX mirrors.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you so much. Also if you can make a video or revert on "Whether to mount aux lamps high near headlight or low on crash guards? Pros and cons of both.
Hi sir, planning to get this one for the budget of 2 lakh. Is it worth it in 2024? Or check other bikes at 2 lakh
If you like it, buy it! 👍
Hii friend , is this bike is suitable for back pain people or only for young people..
Hello! Back pain is a horrible thing and there are too many ways that motorcycling can trigger back pain, from handlebar to seat to suspension. I can’t say if this motorcycle will or will not cause. The best is to take a long test ride and find out for oneself. And the Hunter has nothing so drastic in its design to call it suitable for either the young or the old. Cheers!
Do you think it will be good for long rides?
I will be quite comfortable for riders of 5’ to about 5’7”. For those more than that the ergonomics can get a bit cramped on a long run.
@@bigbearbangalore won't the slightly aggressive riding posture cause problem?
Don’t think it will. It’s got the right lean forward posture and well placed pegs.
Bosskey, its time to review the hero davidson and trijaj😮😮
Indeed 😀
Is the brake setup by bybre?
Yes! BYBRE.
@@bigbearbangalore but no logo or branding in calipers..
It is branded BYBRE on the Rebel variant. It’s visible on the Hunter in the initial impression video we posted a couple of weeks back. And rightly pointed by you that it’s not on some of the motorcycles!!! 🤷♂️
Throw in LED lights and slipper clutch and I’m sold
Yes, that will complete the package. Cheers!
Suspensions are super stiff... That can be a deal breaker for someone who dont want any back problems... I am planning to try classic suspensions and check if that makes any difference...
👍
What is about braking ???
Braking is quite good.
Kindly suggest Meteor 350 or Hunter 350, I am 5'5 tall
Test ride and choose. They are quite different to each other.
Don't buy hunter... Checkout Suzuki sx 250 too
their is gap between tank and handle they would have put tank little further and provided more seat length , splendor provide more better pillion comfortable then , royal Enfield would have think on this, really bad design towards comfort
Perhaps. Thanks for your inputs.
Retro model cost 1.74 on road Chennai
👍
5:23 its unnerving how the Hunter looks like a half-size xpulse
😀
Compare to xpukse how is it comfortable ?
Basis comfort only comparison, I prefer the Xpulse over the Hunter. The suspension is way better, the ground clearance is better and the riding posture is more upright.
My only gripe is that this looks too small, my height is about 5’10 and this looks tiny to me.
Yes and it's a commuter made to be non intimidating for those under 5'8" in height.
@@bigbearbangalore Wish it was a little bigger, nevermind i'm waiting for the Himi 450.
Good day Internet? XD
😛
Are these brembo brakes????
No brembo logo
Bybre by Brembo
@@bigbearbangalore no logo though.....rebel version has logos
Good day India
🫡
Ground clearance
Acceptable.
Mileage in city?
Haven't used it much in city. Will update when I have the data. Thanks.
Please Hindi mein bola karo
Sorry I don't know to speak in Hindi.
I want to show this video to some of the chapri utubers who only shows us top speed, usd suspension, led lights ,and the engine specifications 😂
If we wanted to see specifications we have Google 😏
😀🙏
Mileage?
30-36 kmpl in mixed city conditions.
