A good honest review! I'm a Hntr owner and you're bang on the mark with your comments. I've had mine (in Rebel Red) since March and I'm heading for 6000 miles. I avoid motorways and do the minimum of fast dual carriageways, I find that the bike just loves back lanes and twistie A roads and of course, like you say, it's so easy to ride in town. And personally, I absolutely love the looks!! 10/10 to RE! Thank you for your review, all the best, Phil

Good review. Didn’t dwell on stats. It’s more important to describe how it feels. Anyone can look up the numbers. It seems to be an honest bike that behaves exactly as it looks. It’s inexpensive without being cheap, low powered without being slow, and fun without being intimidating. And it’s frugal.

As others have said, that’s a great review of a genuinely great bike.

You certainly have got of the most experience on the mid to small displacement scooters and bikes anywhere around today. Don't need to look anywhere else for advice.👍👍

Great review ER. I love my Hunter for all the reasons you mention. It’s the perfect tool for the B roads of the Cumbrian/Northumberland borders I ride. I occasionally take my wife on the back and barely notice she’s there and she loves it too. The new Triumph 400’s do look serious competition though albeit at a fairly significant price premium.

Thank you for another good review ER. I’m so tempted by the hunter. There is a new Kawasaki coming in 2024 and I’m tempted by that. The 500 eliminator. So many choices these days.

The value/money ratio is perfect. They nailed the look. A well done review. Like well deserved.

Excellent review of an excellent urban bike at an excellent price! And of course it has that bomb proof 350 J platform engine!

Hi Exeter rider, I also own a Hunter and have done about 7000 km without problems. Now I'm not a boy anymore and this is my twentysecond bike, it's absolutely right for me. Thanks for the try and the really honest comments. Greetings from Italy 👋✌

Top job again ER 👌🏼 Mister Dave toured his in Snowdonia from Devon - faultless 👍🏼 Another great little bike from Royal Enfield. Nice arty bit at the end 😎

really enjoy this new ending theatrical feel you are doing. nice touch. not sure if people watch to the end, as they dont mine, keep doing it as people will find one and then start looking for it. me, love it.

Great review and as an owner of the same bike, that also commutes into Exeter I completely agree. I wanted a light weight bike that was big enough to do everything and it's spot-on. Not just a box ticking exercise either, it has character.

Cracking little city bike I should think, especially if you commute to the outskirts or an outlying village. Electric motorcycles will struggle to match this when you balance fuel economy, performance, range and price! Shame (to my taste) about the design of the fuel tank graphics, Gloss black with gold coachlining would've set it off beautifully. Lovely footage in and around Thorverton. Where was the huge glass building at the end? Torquay maybe?

Excellent review ER, as an owner have to say you got it spot on!👍

If it had a top speed of about 85 mph and maybe a rev counter then i would seriously consider buying one

I really enjoy the reviews from both yourself and Mark Pulling. Equal best on you tube in my opinion. Good balance of insight and maturity. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in. Very much appreciated, particularly as someone like myself has limited time to visit dealers for test rides etc.

Nice review. I have a soft spot for all Royal Enfields. This one ticks a lot of boxes for me but I'll probably give it a miss.

I have that much confidence with mine that I can corner it on 2 wheels.. all joking apart, it can corner to such a degree that I scrape the souls of my boots on the road and it hasn't slip away from under me... yet. My fastest recorded speed achieved on level roads has been 80mph on the speedo which is incredible. Dual carriageways is a constant 70 on the speedo without any bike complaints. Acceleration has been nearly enough to do a wheelie by just selecting the correct gear and no aggressive clutch control. Fuel economy is very good and the exhaust note is perfect. I haven't been able to fault the braking system and the headlight is ample from it's filament headlight bulb. I did consider adding a couple of mods i.e DNA air filter and the FuelX lite ECU but what's the point? I cannot see this bike going any better to warrant the extra expense. If I want a faster bike my best bet is to wait another year and buy a new one with the 450cc engine for even more power. One notable negative, the rear suspension could do to be a little softer under my aging body. Overall, I am very pleased with my HNTR for the price I paid. Also in Rebel Red.

One of your best reviews, how you do these vids with all you have on is amzinballs, the quality really shows. You maximise your locations, and use so many of them. I like that they give you the bike for a good long time, shows they have faith in what they make.. I was surprised at the low price of the bike, and that it comes with that undertaking feature, I've not tried that myself sound edgy. Can the bike be easily derestricted, I think I little more poke on the motorway for passing would be nice? Amazingly you got not one but two high speed trains going in different directions, I'd not seen that before in a bike review. You even ended with a sunset shot and I don't know if it was just luck but you somehow got the music to end just as the video ended 👍😊

Your reviews keep on getting better and better. Plus your enthusiasm for the bikes you like genuinely shines through. I’ve learned a lot about the Huntr. I thought it was just styled but clearly it’s far more. I wasn’t surprised you were cramped carrying your 3 sons. Ah…. Memories of entire families in Portugal on 125’s….😉😉😉

Surprisingly its not a heavy bike, I'm extremely happy with my 350. On the motorway 60mph is perfectly fine. Rode from Edinburgh to Wolverhampton.

BONUS TRAIN!

Loved your video❤, I am a hunter owner from india, I have the exact rebel red colour that you rode, I can tell you this bike with the blackedout engine and wheels under the sun looks very appealing to all people as they often appreciate me while at traffic signals. The J series engine has good torque and BHP for the city riding and adequate for highway riding, and it's smooth. Headlight could be better and the rear shocks are too stiff but it's not a deal breaker. Good bike for daily commuting.

Great video review , the softly spoken opening was different and it's nice to see you getting in touch with your feminine side 😎

I'm liking the look of this but the Triumph 400 will probably steal my heart. I can't get over the service intervals of Royal Enfield and the 400 is 79cm seat height and 10kg lighter than the Hunter. However the Hunter is lovely and the exhaust is brilliant, so never say never.😊

Great review there ER. I’d seriously consider getting one of these as a second bike. Had my eye on it for a while.

I am surprised they have not entered the 125 market, they would do really well!

Another brilliant bike from RE. Unfortunately also another bike from RE that is too small for me at 6'4'' tall 😭

What a nice looking bike. I have an HD Iron 883 but this bike would make a nice little side piece. It just looks so cute and fun.

I particularly enjoyed this video as it matches my findings on this bike. It's so small and manoeuvrable compared to the lumpier Meteor and Classic 350. Out of all the RE 350s, this is the one I would own. Also, the new TEC cam I believe gives another 5BHP at the rear wheel which is an almost 30% gain. I can see with that, re-mapping a fruity exhaust and some styling tweaks that this could be a real Goldstar competitor, of which (cough) by some co-incidence my extended riding review comes out on Saturday (ahem) 😄

Great review! What a bargain they are, very tempted..

Really like these. Went to see one at my local dealer when they first came out and was considering buying one purely as a commuter bike but now they don't stock them for some reason so I can't take one out for a test ride. Great review!

Good review I think you nailed it.

Triumph 400 @ £4995 due in January is also tempting (twice as much power)…🤔🤷🏻‍♂

you are a crazy man on that bike. well done sir. that does have a town/city zippiness. nice review! love the train passing, minimal noise issue. the tires look right for the bike, but i was thinking that it was call a hunter, i dont think a hunter would be able to get through the woods ore carry back much after hunting. they might want to have called it "the Nippy Zippy".

Great review with beautifull shots of the bike riding. Great job. My mind keeps switching hntr ,Meteor or classic 😅

Love My Rebel Blue Hunter 350 ❤

Great review sir thank you !!

Pillion riding.... I had my 3 sons on it. Felt a bit cramped. Really?? I'm not surprised. I know they take whole families on a bike in India, but I don't recomend it in Devon!

Nicely done ER. 👍

It’s a tough choice between the Hunter 350 and Rebel 300. Only 4 hp difference, but the Rebel 300 can do 100 mph.

Great review, I suppose their are subtle differences between each of these bike , seems each one has slightly different functions , my mate has just bought a 350cc Classic and he loves it , his Son has the Hunter so he's very pleased with it , I think I want one now , must be catching 😊 , Thanks for the info .

Great review. I came over from Taym and nice to hear you both rate it.

There’s an elephant in the room now…for £1000 more you can double the power and have traction control with the Triumph 400 speed.

For me the Hunter is the best of RE 350's.

Hi exiter rider, great vide and bike one I am thinking about to get hopefully and is a well made bike

Very good-looking bike. It would have made a better cross-London commuter than my MZ ETZ301 in the old days. And the MZ was good enough. Nick

Great video. They seem such an exiting little bike from the reviews I've seen. Do you prefer this to the Meteor?

Another excellent bike review. You seriously have fantastic content. I nearly bought a Continental GT 650 for my second bike a few months ago. I had money in hand and went to the dealership to test ride, thinking I'd fall in love with it and bring it home. I hated it. Two reasons, and you touched on two big reasons, first, it felt like it weighed a ton when i would lean it over, and second, it felt way too much like i was on in and not in it. You said the Hunter is light-feeling leaning it, so that's good. You said it feels more like you're on it than in it, but it still has to feel better than the GT 650...does it? I'm still trying to find that elusive second bike, I may have to test this one out. But i want my wife to be comfortable on it as the pillion (she's only 5'2"). Iron 883 is leading the way, but the Street Twin (900) is up there along with the Honda Rebel.

Another excellent and fair review. The question is which version of the 350 would ne your choice? Or would you prefer a larger capacity version if they release one? Thank you.

i did not get notified of your video FYI. i tell people to let them know. its like Peaky video had 6 commercials in a 17 min video, crazy. yours was start, middle and end. normal.

Out of the Enfield range, ER, I think this bike is the best looking. However it is small and even you look a tad cramped on it.

That was by far the best Hunter 350 review that i've seen. Pure porn for anyone seriously thinking about getting one, especially in red. It's a 400km round trip for me to actually look at one in the flesh and sit on it but after this video that's what I plan to do very soon. Thanks!

How do you think this will fair against the new triumph speed 400 at £4995

I have owned several royal enfields and currently run a 411 scram which l really love BUT the hunter thing keeps rearing it's head! Should l run one instead of my honda cb125? Honda is reliable, economic and well, boring.

I can’t get the thing on the centre stand! Is there a knack to this that I am missing?

Wow the rear of the chain has a lot of surface rust 😮

I think the biggest single improvement to this bike would be twin clocks. I don’t like RE’s but like the looks but the instrument binnacle is abhorrent if not functional. Twin clocks on bikes please. Did you see all year motorcyclist vlog on old honda cb550. Now all you foreign motorcycle manufacturers take a look at that bike and make a modern one. It has the looks, power (only 50bhp), style and presence and sound. But obviously the emissions probably no good with carbs.if I want a city bike give me the scooter marque that little 125 or 350if you want some welly. Another reason not to buy is the frequent valve services. Fine if diy but not if you are paying

Restricted? By all accounts the Hunter has a different mapping to the Classic and Meteor, and with a TEC cam will top 85mph.

You won’t be keeping that bike very long if you keep rolling it around where you are overtaking on crossroads traffic lights committing An offence slowdown one I like it have a good day

Maybe they can make a 6 speed for 2025 😊

Is is faster in terms of acceleration and top speed (for motorways uk) compared to the meteor?

is it good for me 182cm height? how tall are you? cheers!

No RE dealers in Hawaii. 😭

The Hunter is not speed limited like the other 350s. Also, your chain is rusty! The best rust prevention is ACF50. I sold my Reborn Classic 350. I still think the Classic is better looking but the experience of the Hunter is a lot better.
