It's a great bike in this price that Royal Enfield has produce, just did my first longest ride from Darjeeling to Kolkata with my wife which is 650km, total 1300km up n down..and no issues in this bike. Had a great experience..Thanxx RE
When hunter was first released in asian subcontinent, instantly all the motocycle magazine reviewed that this bike will be a flop, as royal enfield already had a city dweller called scram 411(most people use the scram in city). But to everyones surprise hunter became the second highest sold bike in India after Royal enfield classic. It increased the sales of RE by 53%.
@@akjk87 well not to be offensive the motorway speed in India is around 100km/hr whereas the motorway speed in other american and European countries whould be lot higher compared. Thats the reason enfield commercialise this bike as city commuter.
Right, I just subscribed, because instead of just repeating others and saying it is no use for UK roads and motorways, you took it out and tried it with an open mind. Obviously not for the person that does constant motorway miles, but it looks fine for the occasional motorway blast if needed. And for real people not bike testers, the 100mpg is really great, lower taxation class as well - we can't all afford 12k Japanese bikes can we.
Thanks for subscribing 👍. You’re totally right. This bike is so easy to ride, looks nice, great mpg, and for a new bike it’s cheap. But it doesn’t feel cheap. I really like this bike and I’m seriously thinking about buying one myself.
Nicely done review ...just ordered my first Royal Enfield in 53 years of riding motorbikes ! Just love the exhaust sound,and lack of size, and the low cost.
Good to see the Hunter being riden, been waiting for this bike. Good colour choices and from your review looks fun and practical for me. Thanks for posting.
Loved this review, not only for the actual review in itself, but as someone who lives on the other side of the world now it was lovely to see some of home. Subbed just so I can pretend I'm riding a bike at home! I've been debating whether to get a Meteor or Hunter and you've sold me on the Hunter. Gonna pop out tomorrow to get one. Happy Christmas!
As a biker "of a certain age" and not wanting a scooter this is right up my alley. I have to test one but it looks very enticing.. The price is right that I can "mess with it" with the extra change. Air filter,decat and pipe to help it breathe betteer. When Hitchcock/tec bike parts get a drop in cam that would be a treat!!
Good review, it's a great bike ,I've got an Interceptor but I love the look of the Hunter it's perfect. My missus wants one when she passes her test, but I'd have one myself, I've watched every review since they were first mentioned and I've yet to see a bad review anywhere!
They are great bikes. For town riding and short motorway journeys I think they are perfect. I loved it on the country roads. It’s just so light and easy to throw around the bends.
I took a classic 350 out last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed mindset the bike puts you in within a couple of miles of ridingit it's weird , I've been riding fifty one years now and had all types of bikes, but the last few years prefer these lighter more manageable bikes, and they're definitely more fun to ride than larger bikes.
I really enjoyed this review. Your enthusiasm for motorcycle just shines through!😂 I am very, VERY TEMPTED, to buy this. A nice little economical motorcycle.
I'm with you here 11:55 and being patient with your experience because I'm enjoying it enough except looking at that one control off to the left. I had to need for a new tachometer on a 70 Triumph Daytona I had and I'll tell you, man, missing one gauge is just like a broken heart. I could be liking it too if it was a tad louder exhaust and had a second dial gauge.
A beautiful little bike with bags of character. In May I bought a new meteor, just love it. I put an exhaust on her, decat link pipe and an air box mod which really helps the bikes performance...
I should imagine they're really easy to get a good amount of extra power from. 20hp is quite low for a 350 and I guess its to make it last forever on zero maintenance in poorer countries.
Great no nonsense review , and youd like one , well so would I , seriously cant wait 😀 my Mate has got the R E classic 👌 but the Hunter and Meteor seem ideal bikes , i now like the concept of a single cylinder engine for simplicity reasons , ive now down sized my car to a 1.2 petrol for the same reason , cheap motoring the way to go , i do want a lighter bike 😊 the R E ticks all the boxs for me anyway . Thanks for the review.
You’re very welcome. If you’re in the uk these bikes are really cheap at the moment. MotoGB are selling off their RE stocks cheaply to get rid of them. however once they are all gone I can see the prices for new ones shooting up.
Looks alone has sold it for Me..reminds me of the 1980s YAM RDLC 250 350 remember the black model.

Thank you for a nice review! I'm trying decide between this RE Hunter 350 (great looks & economy) vs a Kawasaki z400 (more power). It's gonna be tough!!
That is a tough decision. Both great bikes. Personally I would go hunter and save money. But The smart move would be to go and sit on both and see which stands out for you. Or hold off for that lottery win and buy both 🥳
Great review my friend! Thinking of getting back in to biking after doing the family thing and having no spare cash, I’m almost free again (daughter now 15 years old). My Dad purchased the Classic last year and he loves it. The Hunter is more my thing as my last bike was a Bandit 600. I think this would be a lovely gift to myself😂 now I have just got to convince the wife😉👍
really enjoy your review videos and think the HNTR 350 might be one of the best looking bikes on the market, would love to know how it compares to the Scram! thanks for the review!
Brilliant motorbike. Third and fourth gears are were this bike really shines. Absolutely lovely to drive about the two lane, rolling and twisty byways. Brakes are great, at least compared to my other bikes. Bar end mirrors are wonderful. Really glad the fella down the way had it for sale. He paid about $5,000 US, and I paid $3,500 US, used. Only 1,100 miles on the clock. The exhaust note when in third or fourth gear is absolutely wonderful. Get one.
This is such an appealing bike. Start with the price, the smallish size is good for new riders, young riders, city riders, and I mean this as a positive it is good for girls. It can be so many things from a starter bike to a every day rider. This may be the most important bike in production today.
Lots of people haven’t realised yet that bikes like this are basically the future of petrol motorcycles. With legislation being constantly squeezed and fuel costs rising year upon year, they make perfect sense. Plus the longer you ride bikes, the more you tend to appreciate that going back to lighter and smaller CC’s with less equipment, is actually a lot of fun. Those who are still drunk on only measuring bikes by horsepower alone, need to wake up and smell the clean air zones, smart motorways, and fuel prices. I’d get one myself, if I hadn’t just bought a Scram 4 days ago from In2moto 😂👍
Totally agree. I have a small 125 as well. I love playing on smaller bikes. So much fun, easy to ride. Smiles for miles. I think I will always have a small bike to run along side a big one. Touring in the bigger bike and playing / commuting on the smaller one. Enjoy the scram. They are great bikes to.
My reaction to the Hunter was just like this. Liked the look of it, was very impressed with a test ride and bought one. It's been a joy. Handles beautifully, sounds lovely, just a nice bike to take for a spin. It's the smallest bike I've owned for some time, usually had 500 twins and the like, but I've not enjoyed a bike so much for ages. Makes me smile every time I ride it. And it's a bargain. It'll be my daughter's first bike post test, after which we'll share it for a while. It'll be perfect as a first bike, but it's entertaining enough for me with over thirty years of riding under my belt. If I don't get a Scram after, I'll get another one of these.
Just sat on the bike until now, how is the suspension? the rear felt a bit stiff, and the front seemed a bit short. With a bike like this one rides more on so called b roads including brick roads so a comfortable suspension would be nice.
@@GillyBikes Likewise, not found in an issue, would call it firm. So far stuck to slower (so smaller, rougher) country roads and lanes whilst running in, riding solo.
Just subscribed after watching this video, loved it, really easy to listen to, great video!! :) Would love one of these bikes one day, they're gorgeous
Main weight saving measure missed, ie RE have chopped the whole bottom section of the frame away and now use the engine as a stressed member. This also solves the Classic's problem of the frame getting in the way of any attempt to reposition the gear lever.
Yes.. but the classic also has metal mudguard front and back and the light assembly is also metal.. But the Hunter is still a heavy bike for a 350cc air-cooled single... 181kg kerb weight.. that is not light...
@@andersbarfodsvaneskolan9378 Sure Anders, my Classic weighed in at 200kg which is even less light :-) but as long as your expectations were reasonable and you didn't have to do too much pushing around with the engine turned off it was a lovely solid ride.
Seriously my new favorite bike. Best looking bike out there. I currently ride a 2022 TW200 and I love it but I gotta add the scam/hunter to my collection.
Hi ya Gilly , yes could not agree with you after seeing so many good reports on this RE Hunter 350 I've got one for myself, it really does what's on the can, easy to move I've had a broken and it's good for me good on the move great in traffic and keeps up with the flow, I can't fully it, if you want one get your order, stay safe.🇬🇧👍
I'm in line to test one of these soon, had to cancel the previous test as I injured my knee the day before. I previously really fancied an Interceptor 650 and rented one in Fuertaventura last year and I really loved it. However, the Hunter is a fantastic looking bike and way lighter than the 650 and I love singles, always have. I did get excited once about the BSA GS but just not convinced. I think the Hunter would sit very nicely next to my RD400 and give me that modern day reliability if the RD is having an 'off period' 🙂 - If I like it on the test I will be getting a Dapper Grey for sure.
What’s not to like about these bikes. They are small, light and loads of fun. The grey is my favourite colour. Looks really smart. Hope your testride goes well. Ride safe 👍
Enjoyed that mate. Being the proud owner of both a Classic 350 and Interceptor 650, I would really like to get my bum on one of these too, so on my to do list in the spring ! The more I see it, and the more vids like yours I watch, the realisation is that it is going to be a huge seller, here in the uk, as well as globally. This grey one is the one I would choose, it looks the dogs danglies 😊. Thanks for sharing.
@@GillyBikes yes, I know, with it being a little 350. I was just saying that, as I absolutely love my Interceptor, it would have to be amazing to be better than that, in my opinion. 😉
I m waiting for RE to make available tripper navigation. Once it is available, i will configure my bike and book it. This is the best RE bike (my opinion)
Bought a RE Hunter. The Retro model in black with wire wheels. It's available only in India. Great fun to ride. I wish I could post a photo here. Lovely set of accessories coming on the market for the bike. Very affordable bike for the Indian rider who wants something more than a commuter bike. The Retro model has a drum brake at the back, metal grab handle behind the seat and simpler switches on the handle. The clock and instruments are also a little different. The waiting period for the bike is 90 days.
They seem to have loads of colours and they seem to change them all the time. I’m not sure about yellow though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new yellow one.
Good to see your close-up shots. I wonder how the footpeg positioning compares to the Classic; the brake and gear pedals do look more usable. Much as I like the Classic (having owned a Bullet 500 in the past) I think this might be the best of the 350s for someone my size (6'4'' unfortunately). All it needs is a set of hard panniers and a top box but that is just me being me. Thanks for posting this excellent video).
The footpeg on classic is forward set while on hunter it's rear set giving you a sportier sitting position. I'd suggest you to take a test ride on this since I believe you might feel a bit cramped given your height and the compact nature of this bike
@@27Ashishnayak Very good point ! The Classic would probably be the best for me. In my country the Classic is about 20% more expensive than the Hunter and I struggle to see why it costs so much more. It will be good to see them side by side.
You are the only UK reviewer who feel that the bike is not underpowered and is ok for the motorways. Other reviews even from women keep mentioning that the bike is under powered and they would buy if it had another 8bhp extra. Here in India it is considered powerful bike.
It feels pretty similar power wise. But it also feels smaller, lighter and nicer to ride. I only did 70 for a short time but it felt ok. It definitely had more to give but with it being brand new I didn’t push it.
I've been wondering, does RE not offer Make It Yours in the UK? In India, we can select what colour, what modifications, add -ons etc we want from their app and book it. RE then sends you updates about assigning a chassis number etc till it comes to the dealership for delivery.
It’s a great bike to ride. Loads of fun. Plenty of power for around town and loads of fun on the twisty roads. Just not sure about the motorway / highway i got it to 70mph but not sure how much more it had left in it.
Funnily enough I went to see one today. Think they look amazing, and the sound is wonderful. Test drive next week in Rochdale, but me being 6'3 I am a bit on the tall side for it, but I guess the testdrive will let me know if it's doable or not. Nice review
@@rickseconds7676 ok, so at 6'3 you know you're not the target market size of rider, but it IS still comfy to ride. After an hour's ride, my mind was made. Deposit paid.
If you were picking between the hunter and the Imperial 400 which one ? As seen the Imperial for as little as £3500 new on the road. I know you enjoyed both bikes.
It is funny but also genius that Royal Enfield have delivered significant weight savings in moving from plastic to metal fenders and that sort of thing. If they'd cheaped out from the start it wouldn't have been possible! Will be funny if they do the same with the 650s too, give us a sub-190kg bike!
There’s a ‘classic’ version of the Hunter in India with spoked wheels- surprised it’s not released in the UK. But I have doubts over whether A2 holders in the Uk would be happy with an underpowered bike. Or is RE hoping they would buy it as a second bike to be ridden around town? It’s a great bike but I have my doubts about whether it will sell as well here in the UK as in India.
For me any 350cc will feel under powered if you normally ride bigger bikes. That being said my last few bikes I’ve bought have been over 1000cc and I still loved playing on this bike. It’s a small bike. Really easy to ride. Great around town and so much fun on country lanes. Great MPG. Great price less than £4000. My understanding is that the meteor and Classic are really good sellers in the UK and I think this is a better bike. Seems faster. Looks nicer (personal preference of course) only time will tell. I’m really tempted.
I think learner regulations should be changed to allow these on a CBT. They'll be much better suited to the job than a 125 that can't keep up with traffic. I'd love to see a version of this with an engine to complete with the Street Twin, 70ish bhp and a load of grunt and a couple grand cheaper than the Triumph would be really popular
Don't agree. Cbt situation is out of control in London. It's halfway to being like Vietnam. People should be got off lplates. In any way possible, don't allow people to repeat a Cbt without an insurance penalty. Make these usable on Cbt and it would be chaos forever
I get what your saying but I know some very good riders that only ever use 125’s. 1 in particular has been riding for over 10 years and has done 5 or 6 CBT’s. He says it’s cheaper than doing a test on a big bike. I’m trying to convince him to get a bigger bike but he’s not interested.
Nice bike Gilly, good review.. I’ve got a meteor 350 myself and love it, there’s many Royal Enfields I’d like to have in my garage if I could 😂 Looking forward to seeing the meteor 650 when it comes out 😊
@GillyBikes here greece benelli have very good after sales and technical support. RE not so good. I will see . I have 2 more months to decide what I will buy. Until then I enjoy my supercub 125.
This is smaller than the scram and a bit less power. But I do prefer the looks of this one and it’s quite a bit cheaper. There are So many colours to choose it make take a while to pick one.
I’m sure you could change a few bits. Royal Enfield usually do have loads of options available. Personally I wouldn’t change the exhaust. I find the black easier to keep clean. Also it sounds amazing. The wire wheels are a great call though. I think they would look nice on it.
790mm seat height, it’s too little a bike for me otherwise I would be buying one. BTW, I’ve ridden motorways on 8 hp 125 bikes. Runs no problem at the speed of the limited lorries.
It takes Royal Enfield to deliver a 350cc bike with the raw power of a Japanese unrestricted 125. - And a parallel twin 650cc with less than 2/3 power of the Japanese competition. My 500cc GPZ500 parallel had 59bhp to the Interceptors' 650, and my SV650 twin supposedly 69. So by the time you psent more liberating a few ponies, you spent as much as buying a better bike like a Triumph. We have better roads in the UK (just), and despite the cost of petrol, are a more affluent society. This bike should be delivered, tuned accordingly.
I’ve been on lots of 125’s non of them were as fast as this one. But I do take your point. For the engine size they should be capable of more. That being said I did really enjoy my day with this bike. I found it to be loads of fun around town, motorway and country lanes. I didn’t once think “if only it had more power”. So for me I’m happy as it is. I look at it this way, me, you and every other biker out there has another bike we can chose from when we buy our next bike.
The figures on paper don't tell the full story.. having borrowed a Meteor for a day i can honestly say i was surpised how much fun it was. As for 47 bhp 650 twins. there is legal reason for that.
@@stevegascoigne1482 So add a restrictor kit for those with A2. Let the rest of us have a bike that with an extra 20% power, is still going to be slower and heavier than the learners friend, the SV650.
you cant compare a liquid cooled with air cooled! the 95% of market is from india. there you need incredible reliable engines to stand up agains heat, dirt, rain and maintnance done by the owner or very basic mechanics. A high performance motor is always more fragile. this air cooled single motors with screw type valve adjusters are as simple as a modern motor can be. i understand that for european and american roads 10 more hp are a requirement but still, some people prefer to ditch some performance in favor of price, looks and easy going mechanics.
I'd be surprised if it will do more than 70mph as the Meteor and Classic are restricted, I have 5000 miles on my Meteor and it goes better than ever, but over 70mph....no chance. Still a great bike as are the other 350s but I never ride it on a motorway as I would be flat out all the time.
I had the speedo showing 70mph and it felt like it had a little bit more in it but I eased off at 70 with it being new. It does seem to be a little bit quicker than the meteor and classic. Wether that’s down to it being lighter or engine tuning I’m not sure.
@@jamesbarrie2458 So these additions will just get it there quicker.🤔. Can't this limiter be disabled... 🤔 Just curious. Personally 72 mph will do me just fine. *Crap Game*
It's all in the ecu software so unless some can hack it no. The dna filter and cover does improve performance as you say, personally I am quite happy with the top speed as it is.
The only thing I don’t like about the Hunter 350 so far is how soon you have to have the bike serviced (300 miles) and how much it costs to do a basic service. The local dealer wants £200, so they can get stuffed. I could do it myself for 20 quid.
That’s fairly normal with most bikes. Apparently they have cheap oil in from the factory so after it’s ran for a few miles normally between 200-600 miles it needs an oil change after that first one it’s normal yearly service. To be fair I’ve bought a few new bikes over the last few years. I had to do the same with a Kawasaki, Honda and a Suzuki. Pretty much the same.
@@GillyBikes I’ve been ringing around the closest 3 Royal Enfield dealers to me. Nearest one is £200. Next is £169 and the furthest in Malvern quoted £150. Typical! Although they’ve only just emailed me to confirm this price is for existing customers. At the back of the official owners manual it suggests that for the first 4 ‘Free services’ the labour charge is free. Check it out yourself. It all smells fishy to me.
Do any of them do a service pack. Most do and it brings the price down a bit But yeah the service schedule seems a bit frequent. Apart from the first which is pretty normal. But that was free on my last bike
I did mention it to them. And they pointed out that the Interceptor is just that. It’s a bigger engined version. Next to each other they do look very similar.
When I say quite quickly I don’t mean I thrashed it. More it got there without struggling. I think people need to see if these bikes are capable of motorway speeds. It would have been great to have it for a few weeks and build up the miles but unfortunately I only had a few hours and needed to check it out. I would buy that bike in a heart beat. So much fun.
As a Meteor owner I can tell you getting to 65mph is easy but the final 5mph takes a bit longer and if it's uphill you'll be lucky to get 70mph at all. Not complaining as I avoid motorways anyway.
It's a great bike in this price that Royal Enfield has produce, just did my first longest ride from Darjeeling to Kolkata with my wife which is 650km, total 1300km up n down..and no issues in this bike. Had a great experience..Thanxx RE

Can't wait for it to hit my country I'd really be looking into buying one, it captures the Triumph twin's vibe with an affordable price
It really does. 👍

Which colour did you go for?

I’m a big fan of the meteor. Really like the blue one 👍. I wouldn’t change the exhaust on the Hunter. That sounds awesome as standard.
I should imagine they're really easy to get a good amount of extra power from. 20hp is quite low for a 350 and I guess its to make it last forever on zero maintenance in poorer countries.

Thanks Neil. 👍
Great review my friend! Thinking of getting back in to biking after doing the family thing and having no spare cash, I’m almost free again (daughter now 15 years old). My Dad purchased the Classic last year and he loves it.
The Hunter is more my thing as my last bike was a Bandit 600.
I think this would be a lovely gift to myself😂 now I have just got to convince the wife😉👍
You deserve it. This would be a great bike to get back into it. Good luck with the wife though. 😂
really enjoy your review videos and think the HNTR 350 might be one of the best looking bikes on the market, would love to know how it compares to the Scram! thanks for the review!
It rides very similar to the scram just quite a bit smaller. So much easier to throw around.
Brilliant motorbike. Third and fourth gears are were this bike really shines. Absolutely lovely to drive about the two lane, rolling and twisty byways. Brakes are great, at least compared to my other bikes. Bar end mirrors are wonderful. Really glad the fella down the way had it for sale. He paid about $5,000 US, and I paid $3,500 US, used. Only 1,100 miles on the clock. The exhaust note when in third or fourth gear is absolutely wonderful. Get one.
👍. Great bikes for the twisty roads. One of my favourites
This is such an appealing bike. Start with the price, the smallish size is good for new riders, young riders, city riders, and I mean this as a positive it is good for girls. It can be so many things from a starter bike to a every day rider. This may be the most important bike in production today.
Do you work for the royal Enfield sales team? Just joking. I think you’re right 👍
Lots of people haven’t realised yet that bikes like this are basically the future of petrol motorcycles. With legislation being constantly squeezed and fuel costs rising year upon year, they make perfect sense. Plus the longer you ride bikes, the more you tend to appreciate that going back to lighter and smaller CC’s with less equipment, is actually a lot of fun. Those who are still drunk on only measuring bikes by horsepower alone, need to wake up and smell the clean air zones, smart motorways, and fuel prices.
I’d get one myself, if I hadn’t just bought a Scram 4 days ago from In2moto 😂👍
Totally agree. I have a small 125 as well. I love playing on smaller bikes. So much fun, easy to ride. Smiles for miles. I think I will always have a small bike to run along side a big one. Touring in the bigger bike and playing / commuting on the smaller one. Enjoy the scram. They are great bikes to.
@@GillyBikes Cheers ! I also have a 125, a Honda Super Cub, bags of fun. 😉👍
Brilliantly Reviewed!!
Thanks. I leave all the technical stuff out. It’s all about looks and feel for me.
@@GillyBikes I am glad you left technical out😂. Technicality is for paper.
Yes, very well done. :) Drop by bro, you may like what I do. :) Thanks a lot.
My reaction to the Hunter was just like this. Liked the look of it, was very impressed with a test ride and bought one. It's been a joy. Handles beautifully, sounds lovely, just a nice bike to take for a spin. It's the smallest bike I've owned for some time, usually had 500 twins and the like, but I've not enjoyed a bike so much for ages. Makes me smile every time I ride it. And it's a bargain. It'll be my daughter's first bike post test, after which we'll share it for a while. It'll be perfect as a first bike, but it's entertaining enough for me with over thirty years of riding under my belt. If I don't get a Scram after, I'll get another one of these.
That’s so nice to hear. I love the Hunter. One of the most fun bikes I’ve ridden. 👍
Just sat on the bike until now, how is the suspension? the rear felt a bit stiff, and the front seemed a bit short. With a bike like this one rides more on so called b roads including brick roads so a comfortable suspension would be nice.
I didn’t find it to be an issue. I tried all different types of roads. I wouldn’t say it was uncomfortable. I really liked it.
@@GillyBikes Likewise, not found in an issue, would call it firm. So far stuck to slower (so smaller, rougher) country roads and lanes whilst running in, riding solo.
Just subscribed after watching this video, loved it, really easy to listen to, great video!! :) Would love one of these bikes one day, they're gorgeous
Thanks paul I really do appreciate that 👍

@@wendigillespie4945 More videos Gilly. Give the people what they want!
my right ear really enjoyed this review
I hope your left ear is ok.
Hopefully this season I am gonna try one. :) Great video mate. Enjoyed.
Cheers mate. They are fun little bikes.
Main weight saving measure missed, ie RE have chopped the whole bottom section of the frame away and now use the engine as a stressed member. This also solves the Classic's problem of the frame getting in the way of any attempt to reposition the gear lever.
Learn something new everyday. Thanks.
@@GillyBikes No other reviewer seems to have spotted it either! 😉
That’s great news. As long as I’m not the only one. 😂
Yes.. but the classic also has metal mudguard front and back and the light assembly is also metal.. But the Hunter is still a heavy bike for a 350cc air-cooled single... 181kg kerb weight.. that is not light...
@@andersbarfodsvaneskolan9378 Sure Anders, my Classic weighed in at 200kg which is even less light :-) but as long as your expectations were reasonable and you didn't have to do too much pushing around with the engine turned off it was a lovely solid ride.
I would not buy new, but im tempted by this over a Himalayan, if only for weight saving.
Much smaller and lighter than the Himalayan. It might be a while before they enter the used market though.
Seriously my new favorite bike. Best looking bike out there. I currently ride a 2022 TW200 and I love it but I gotta add the scam/hunter to my collection.
The Hunter is my favourite. I love that bike.
Hi ya Gilly , yes could not agree with you after seeing so many good reports on this RE Hunter 350 I've got one for myself, it really does what's on the can, easy to move I've had a broken and it's good for me good on the move great in traffic and keeps up with the flow, I can't fully it, if you want one get your order, stay safe.🇬🇧👍
They really are great bikes. I will have to get one at some point.
I'm in line to test one of these soon, had to cancel the previous test as I injured my knee the day before. I previously really fancied an Interceptor 650 and rented one in Fuertaventura last year and I really loved it. However, the Hunter is a fantastic looking bike and way lighter than the 650 and I love singles, always have. I did get excited once about the BSA GS but just not convinced. I think the Hunter would sit very nicely next to my RD400 and give me that modern day reliability if the RD is having an 'off period' 🙂 - If I like it on the test I will be getting a Dapper Grey for sure.
What’s not to like about these bikes. They are small, light and loads of fun. The grey is my favourite colour. Looks really smart. Hope your testride goes well. Ride safe 👍
With a Scram front end and some long rear shocks, this would look like a super-moto.
Enjoyed that mate. Being the proud owner of both a Classic 350 and Interceptor 650, I would really like to get my bum on one of these too, so on my to do list in the spring ! The more I see it, and the more vids like yours I watch, the realisation is that it is going to be a huge seller, here in the uk, as well as globally. This grey one is the one I would choose, it looks the dogs danglies 😊. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ian. It’s my favourite colour scheme they do and quite possibly my favourite Royal Enfield.
@@GillyBikes oooo, it has to be good to compete with the Interceptor 😉
Completely different bike. Loads smaller and Much lighter and easier to throw around. You need to test ride one.
@@GillyBikes yes, I know, with it being a little 350. I was just saying that, as I absolutely love my Interceptor, it would have to be amazing to be better than that, in my opinion. 😉
I m waiting for RE to make available tripper navigation. Once it is available, i will configure my bike and book it. This is the best RE bike (my opinion)
I agree. It’s my favourite. The tripper might be a while. I think it’s victim of the world wide chip shortage.
That looks a great looking bike . Must be enfields most modern looking bike. I agree this will sell very well ..
Very modern looking. Completely different for Royal Enfield.
Bought a RE Hunter. The Retro model in black with wire wheels. It's available only in India. Great fun to ride. I wish I could post a photo here. Lovely set of accessories coming on the market for the bike. Very affordable bike for the Indian rider who wants something more than a commuter bike. The Retro model has a drum brake at the back, metal grab handle behind the seat and simpler switches on the handle. The clock and instruments are also a little different. The waiting period for the bike is 90 days.
Thanks for that. It’s new to market over here so not loads of options yet. Hopefully that will all come.
really like the look of the hntr, been eyeing it up now for a while!
Great bikes and really good deals on them at the moment. Lots of colours to choose from. Which colour would you go for?
@@GillyBikes quite the look of the silver/blue one though I'd love if they did a solid yellow version!
They seem to have loads of colours and they seem to change them all the time. I’m not sure about yellow though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new yellow one.
I would have had difficulty choosing between this and the Scram, if this had been available. I am happy with the Scram but I do love that grey Hntr.
I would pick a HNTR over the scram but both are good.
@GillyBikes I decided on the Scram after 20 odd years of cruisers. My previous bike was a Shadow 1100 and I just fancied something different.
That’s a big change. I like to do stuff like that as well. I don’t keep the same style of bike for to long. I’m Always changing.
RE are on to a winner with the Hunter. Like you, I want one... as a second bike.
I really, really do.
Good to see your close-up shots. I wonder how the footpeg positioning compares to the Classic; the brake and gear pedals do look more usable.
Much as I like the Classic (having owned a Bullet 500 in the past) I think this might be the best of the 350s for someone my size (6'4'' unfortunately). All it needs is a set of hard panniers and a top box but that is just me being me.
Thanks for posting this excellent video).
The footpeg on classic is forward set while on hunter it's rear set giving you a sportier sitting position. I'd suggest you to take a test ride on this since I believe you might feel a bit cramped given your height and the compact nature of this bike
@@27Ashishnayak Very good point ! The Classic would probably be the best for me.
In my country the Classic is about 20% more expensive than the Hunter and I struggle to see why it costs so much more. It will be good to see them side by side.
contaked shad they are not doing a rack for it,hopefylly givi do.
Its the best looking of the smaller Enfields.
I think so too. It’s more modern looking than their other models. I like it.
I've got one in NZ...It's an absolute peach of a bike...!
So much fun. Still one of my favourite bikes I’ve ever ridden.
You are the only UK reviewer who feel that the bike is not underpowered and is ok for the motorways. Other reviews even from women keep mentioning that the bike is under powered and they would buy if it had another 8bhp extra. Here in India it is considered powerful bike.
I like it. It’s a 350cc. I think some people get on it and complain it’s not a 600cc or bigger. It has plenty of power for what it is.
@@GillyBikes its been my biggest concern ~ sitting at 70. How does this compare to the Scram 411?
Performance wise I mean
It feels pretty similar power wise. But it also feels smaller, lighter and nicer to ride. I only did 70 for a short time but it felt ok. It definitely had more to give but with it being brand new I didn’t push it.
Pretty little bike but I opted for the Scram. Better for main road speeds. Good fun to ride too as its good on the mucky stuff.
I like the scram as well. 👍
Like the vid, like the bike and yes I like a bit of sneaky sneaky in the morning 👍
This video meke me feel: This is my bike! This model will be in Brazil in 2023, so i want one, thank you for this. I'm 47 and will be my firt bike.
It’s a great bike. Would be perfect for your first one.
@@GillyBikes I wish, thank you for the video, make me decide !
Glad I could help. 👍
I wish that it had polished engine covers and chrome exhaust!
I think options like that are available in India so hopefully will come to the uk.
I bought one yesterday!
Great choice. I love them. Which colour did you go for?
@@GillyBikes ash grey I think it’s called. Silver with turquoise stripes.
@BlueRidgeRider nice choice.
I've been wondering, does RE not offer Make It Yours in the UK?
In India, we can select what colour, what modifications, add -ons etc we want from their app and book it. RE then sends you updates about assigning a chassis number etc till it comes to the dealership for delivery.
Unfortunately this is not available in the uk. Hopefully one day.
Possibly the best looking bike I have seen, totally love it. A bit worried that it won’t have enough power but a test ride will tell.
It’s a great bike to ride. Loads of fun. Plenty of power for around town and loads of fun on the twisty roads. Just not sure about the motorway / highway i got it to 70mph but not sure how much more it had left in it.
Funnily enough I went to see one today. Think they look amazing, and the sound is wonderful. Test drive next week in Rochdale, but me being 6'3 I am a bit on the tall side for it, but I guess the testdrive will let me know if it's doable or not. Nice review
I don’t think you would have an issue with that. You will love your test ride I’m sure. Let me know.
I was thinking the same thing being 6'2", I hope I can not feel cramped on one.
You won’t. Get down to a dealer and sit on one. 👍
@@rickseconds7676 ok, so at 6'3 you know you're not the target market size of rider, but it IS still comfy to ride. After an hour's ride, my mind was made. Deposit paid.
@@PaulUrmston Yep, I like the looks of it and don't need another large cc bike, I have a KTM SDGT and a Benelli TRK502.
She's a real beauty ' A Belgium Royal Enfield fan
My favourite royal Enfield. I absolutely love them.
If you were picking between the hunter and the Imperial 400 which one ? As seen the Imperial for as little as £3500 new on the road. I know you enjoyed both bikes.
I would go Hunter. They are both great bikes but that hunter feels so much lighter and so much fun on the bends.
Looks great!
It really is. Rides great as well.
Enjoyed that nicely done 👍
Thanks Jon 👍
It is funny but also genius that Royal Enfield have delivered significant weight savings in moving from plastic to metal fenders and that sort of thing. If they'd cheaped out from the start it wouldn't have been possible! Will be funny if they do the same with the 650s too, give us a sub-190kg bike!
It would be great if they did it to the 650’s as well. Hopefully the Hunter doing so well will convince them to do it.
Super Meteor 650 they revealed this week weighs 241 kg 🥲
That bike does look really nice though. I can’t wait to have a go on it.
I want one of these!!!
You should get one. If I had room for another I would definitely get one.
@@GillyBikes If I can find one in Indiana! I'll add it to my current two bike collection.
"You will not see any rust on this plastic..." hahahahahahaha, so very good!
👍
There’s a ‘classic’ version of the Hunter in India with spoked wheels- surprised it’s not released in the UK.
But I have doubts over whether A2 holders in the Uk would be happy with an underpowered bike. Or is RE hoping they would buy it as a second bike to be ridden around town?
It’s a great bike but I have my doubts about whether it will sell as well here in the UK as in India.
For me any 350cc will feel under powered if you normally ride bigger bikes. That being said my last few bikes I’ve bought have been over 1000cc and I still loved playing on this bike. It’s a small bike. Really easy to ride. Great around town and so much fun on country lanes. Great MPG. Great price less than £4000. My understanding is that the meteor and Classic are really good sellers in the UK and I think this is a better bike. Seems faster. Looks nicer (personal preference of course) only time will tell. I’m really tempted.
I hope this comes to the USA. It's not on their website.
The rumours are coming to the USA early next year. Fingers crossed you do because it’s a great little bike.
The 350 segment for RE is a bit overcrowded with bikes. Yet only two 650 models.
I’m sure they will be adding more to the 650 range soon. I did hear a rumour of a 650 meteor. I would love a 650 Hunter.
there are 3 different bikes on 650 platforms under testing! classic, cruiser & scrambler plus facelift of existing models are underway!
I love it. Hopefully they will release them soon.
I think learner regulations should be changed to allow these on a CBT. They'll be much better suited to the job than a 125 that can't keep up with traffic.
I'd love to see a version of this with an engine to complete with the Street Twin, 70ish bhp and a load of grunt and a couple grand cheaper than the Triumph would be really popular
That’s a great shout.
Don't agree. Cbt situation is out of control in London. It's halfway to being like Vietnam. People should be got off lplates. In any way possible, don't allow people to repeat a Cbt without an insurance penalty. Make these usable on Cbt and it would be chaos forever
I get what your saying but I know some very good riders that only ever use 125’s. 1 in particular has been riding for over 10 years and has done 5 or 6 CBT’s. He says it’s cheaper than doing a test on a big bike. I’m trying to convince him to get a bigger bike but he’s not interested.
A nice looking bike and for the money what more do you want
That’s very true. Great value and looking bike. 👍
Fantastic video thank you no B.S Thank you !
Best review 🌈 hntr 350👍
That’s very nice of you. I hope you have subscribed then. 😍
Nice bike Gilly, good review.. I’ve got a meteor 350 myself and love it, there’s many Royal Enfields I’d like to have in my garage if I could 😂
Looking forward to seeing the meteor 650 when it comes out 😊
Yes me to. Hopefully it still looks like the meteor 350 because I love how that looks.
Just subscribed 😁
Top man. Thanks 👍
Love to see INDIAN bike in UK
I love the price of them 👍
Looks an sounds gr8.
One of my favourite bikes. 😁
I don't like small foot pegs. Just about all I don't like about this bike. Shame it doesn't have a rev counter. It seems torquey?
It’s a fun bike. You need to try one. Never really noticed the foot pegs being small when my feet were on them.
On your helmetcam footage the audio only comes out of the right ear
That was a problem with my old camera. If you pop onto a recent video that shouldn’t be a problem any more. 👍
Excellent presentation, but the music is disturbingly too loud.
Sorry about that. I’ve changed that for future ones. Dialled it down a bit.
Hunder 350 or imperialle 400 ? Only for the engine feeling your thoughts ? ( All the other facts i am close to buy the benelli ).
The Benelli feels like a bigger bike. The Hunter is my favourite though. I absolutely love them.
@GillyBikes here greece benelli have very good after sales and technical support. RE not so good. I will see . I have 2 more months to decide what I will buy. Until then I enjoy my supercub 125.
Based on that I would pick the Benelli then. 😎
I wish this bike can go atleast 140km/h sometime i need some speed for work 😢
114km/h top speed that’s over the uk speed limit so it’s fine over here.
I don’t know when this is supposed to come to the states, but do you think a six footer would be comfortable on it? Thank you in advance
I think you would be just fine on it. Info online is they should be arriving in the states in the first quarter of 2023
Waiting for them to arrive at my local dealer so I can then decide between hunter and scram. Then comes the colour choice dilemma 🤔
This is smaller than the scram and a bit less power. But I do prefer the looks of this one and it’s quite a bit cheaper. There are So many colours to choose it make take a while to pick one.
I picked the Scram. You'll understand why by now lol.
informative, thank you
You are very welcome. 😀
Good looking bike, maybe some wire wheels and chrome exhaust make it appeal to the mature riders not everyone's a lover of black wheels and exhausts
I’m sure you could change a few bits. Royal Enfield usually do have loads of options available. Personally I wouldn’t change the exhaust. I find the black easier to keep clean. Also it sounds amazing. The wire wheels are a great call though. I think they would look nice on it.
790mm seat height, it’s too little a bike for me otherwise I would be buying one. BTW, I’ve ridden motorways on 8 hp 125 bikes. Runs no problem at the speed of the limited lorries.
I use my 125 on motorways to. It’s ok for a short trip 👍
This doesn’t appear on RE website?
He’s one I’ve found for you www.motogb.co.uk/model/2023-royal-enfield-hunter-350-dapper-1216
I watch a lot of British motorcycle videos and would love someone to explain the purpose of the zig zagging white lines on the road.
It depends which ones you mean? Most common are on pedestrian crossings. those mean no parking or overtaking.
It takes Royal Enfield to deliver a 350cc bike with the raw power of a Japanese unrestricted 125. - And a parallel twin 650cc with less than 2/3 power of the Japanese competition. My 500cc GPZ500 parallel had 59bhp to the Interceptors' 650, and my SV650 twin supposedly 69. So by the time you psent more liberating a few ponies, you spent as much as buying a better bike like a Triumph. We have better roads in the UK (just), and despite the cost of petrol, are a more affluent society. This bike should be delivered, tuned accordingly.
I’ve been on lots of 125’s non of them were as fast as this one. But I do take your point. For the engine size they should be capable of more. That being said I did really enjoy my day with this bike. I found it to be loads of fun around town, motorway and country lanes. I didn’t once think “if only it had more power”. So for me I’m happy as it is.
I look at it this way, me, you and every other biker out there has another bike we can chose from when we buy our next bike.
The figures on paper don't tell the full story.. having borrowed a Meteor for a day i can honestly say i was surpised how much fun it was. As for 47 bhp 650 twins. there is legal reason for that.
@@stevegascoigne1482 So add a restrictor kit for those with A2. Let the rest of us have a bike that with an extra 20% power, is still going to be slower and heavier than the learners friend, the SV650.
you cant compare a liquid cooled with air cooled! the 95% of market is from india. there you need incredible reliable engines to stand up agains heat, dirt, rain and maintnance done by the owner or very basic mechanics. A high performance motor is always more fragile. this air cooled single motors with screw type valve adjusters are as simple as a modern motor can be. i understand that for european and american roads 10 more hp are a requirement but still, some people prefer to ditch some performance in favor of price, looks and easy going mechanics.
Rear footpeg mounts welded direct to frame will result in written off bikes in minor spills ... not good.
With the price of the bike being so low your probably right. Cheaper to buy a new one than repair it.
No rev counter?
Nope. I didn’t see one 😭
very nice bike !
I think so. Very tempting
I'd be surprised if it will do more than 70mph as the Meteor and Classic are restricted, I have 5000 miles on my Meteor and it goes better than ever, but over 70mph....no chance. Still a great bike as are the other 350s but I never ride it on a motorway as I would be flat out all the time.
I had the speedo showing 70mph and it felt like it had a little bit more in it but I eased off at 70 with it being new. It does seem to be a little bit quicker than the meteor and classic. Wether that’s down to it being lighter or engine tuning I’m not sure.
Add a red rooster exhaust and a Stage 2 DNA filter Kit and the Meteor will happily cruise all day at 80mph I've heard.
*Crap Game*
Nope the Meteor has a speed limiter which kicks in at 72mph so any power increase does nothing for top speed.
@@jamesbarrie2458 So these additions will just get it there quicker.🤔. Can't this limiter be disabled... 🤔 Just curious. Personally 72 mph will do me just fine.
*Crap Game*
It's all in the ecu software so unless some can hack it no. The dna filter and cover does improve performance as you say, personally I am quite happy with the top speed as it is.
Hi, what's the mileage? Thanks
This was a brand new bike. It had a few hundred miles on the clock I think.
The only thing I don’t like about the Hunter 350 so far is how soon you have to have the bike serviced (300 miles) and how much it costs to do a basic service. The local dealer wants £200, so they can get stuffed.
I could do it myself for 20 quid.
That’s fairly normal with most bikes. Apparently they have cheap oil in from the factory so after it’s ran for a few miles normally between 200-600 miles it needs an oil change after that first one it’s normal yearly service. To be fair I’ve bought a few new bikes over the last few years. I had to do the same with a Kawasaki, Honda and a Suzuki. Pretty much the same.
@@GillyBikes I’ve been ringing around the closest 3 Royal Enfield dealers to me. Nearest one is £200. Next is £169 and the furthest in Malvern quoted £150. Typical! Although they’ve only just emailed me to confirm this price is for existing customers. At the back of the official owners manual it suggests that for the first 4 ‘Free services’ the labour charge is free. Check it out yourself.
It all smells fishy to me.
Wow. That’s expensive. The joys of keeping the bike in warranty. At least it’s not a BMW I’m sure that would be double.
Do any of them do a service pack. Most do and it brings the price down a bit
But yeah the service schedule seems a bit frequent. Apart from the first which is pretty normal.
But that was free on my last bike
These bikes are that cheap at the moment they won’t offer any service packs or free services. Instead the prices have been reduced
Why they don't make it a 400 so im legal on the hwys
I can’t answer that. In the uk that doesn’t effect us. We are allowed on all roads on it. Which country are you from?
How do you think it would handle with a pillion
Around town it would be fine. The seat is comfortable. Im not sure about motorway though.
Thanks for the reply and a great review
Very interesting ! Is this an USB plug like on the others one ?
I never noticed a usb if I’m honest. I will have a look tomorrow and let you know.
Cracking wee bike. Can't fault it in any way. Bargain.
Absolutely. Great little bike. I had loads of fun having a play on it.
Good review of a decent bike. Warrington almost looks nice!🤣
Almost but . . . 😂
How about a nice big single option for it? I reckon a 660cc version would be pretty awesome. :)
I would definitely buy one of those
@@GillyBikes Perhaps suggest it to the dealer next time you see them? ;)
I did mention it to them. And they pointed out that the Interceptor is just that. It’s a bigger engined version. Next to each other they do look very similar.
@@GillyBikes No, the Interceptor is a vertical twin. Very different from a big single. :)
I get you.
70 mph quite quickly - I would think it's a good few hundred miles to quickly to do 70!
When I say quite quickly I don’t mean I thrashed it. More it got there without struggling. I think people need to see if these bikes are capable of motorway speeds. It would have been great to have it for a few weeks and build up the miles but unfortunately I only had a few hours and needed to check it out. I would buy that bike in a heart beat. So much fun.
As a Meteor owner I can tell you getting to 65mph is easy but the final 5mph takes a bit longer and if it's uphill you'll be lucky to get 70mph at all. Not complaining as I avoid motorways anyway.
Is it an indian make
Was a British bike but now made in India.
@@GillyBikes thank you bro
You’re very welcome
