23 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 TEST RIDE and REVIEW!!

First time on the all new urban fighter from Royal Enfield, the Hunter 350. SUPER COOL BIKE. In this video I will share my initial thoughts on a demo and ride with the Hunter 350 thumper from RE.
It is a simple approach to a traditional motorcycle. It would be an excellent first motorcycle to learn on, and you would;t outgrow right away. Numerous packages right from Royal Enfield as well! The Hunter or HNTR 350 has 4 different paint jobs that are quite nice, plus all types of bits that can be ordered right from Royal.
Royal Enfield has a rich history and they have refined the cost effective, no frills, but no issues, bike.
Get back to your roots! Let me know your thoughts.

I've put 700 mi on mine so far and even did my own 300 mi valve adjustment. I love mine and get a lot of compliments from folks not familiar with RE.

[@briandix216]

Doing your own service valve adjustment,does it void your warranty?

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

I have owned a lot of bikes from all the major manufacturers. I just bought a Hunter 350 , and having more fun on it than all my major big bikes . The Hunter is pure motorcycling

[@BackDraftBikes]

Simple and FUN

[@Roamer5]

How will you rate the rear suspension? Is it too hard?

[@KalkiCharcha-hd5un]

@@Roamer5 Back in india , I hear people replace with the 350 Classic suspension . Which is an easy replace I would guess . Because they use for daily commute like 100+ Km a day it helps with back pain.

[@tracybuckalew2482]

I have the silver one, absolutely love it. I've owned the Honda cb300r the yamaha mt03, and this royal Enfield hunter is by far my favorite of the three. I use this bike for commuting and it fits the bill perfectly. Your review is spot on, great job.

[@BackDraftBikes]

Right on!

[@scoothome]

1200 miles on mine with 0.0 issues. Fun bike.

[@BlazinBlades]

What a great little bike it is🍻 I liked it best out of all the small capacity REs

[@BackDraftBikes]

Me too!

[@1rudrakshsharma]

Hunter is beautiful ❤

[@BackDraftBikes]

It really is!

[@PAGallagher]

Had mine, in Rebel Red, for nearly 5 months and I've put over 4000 miles on it, here in the UK ...... can't get enough of it. I think it's perfect in every way! It gets lots of looks and positive comments when I'm parked up 👍 If I want to release more adrenaline, I fire up the XSR 900 😊Great review, thank you.

[@BackDraftBikes]

Thanks for sharing, cheers from across the pond!!

[@Mrburns68]

Hi is your RE hntr 350 still going ok as looking at it for daily commuting n just concerned ref reliability. Thanks

[@PAGallagher]

@@Mrburns68 Yes, it's still going fine, hasn't missed a beat so far and regularly returning between 115 and 125 mpg (imperial gallons)

[@quentinbush]

Thank you for posting this adventure. Yes, a very enjoyable video riding along another beautiful part of the world. If only we had day after day of sunshine in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. I have owned the same model as this for year now, this bike suits me fine, it's reliable and economical and you feel good riding it. Excellent for bad traffic and doing a constant 60-70mph. Fault wise, just a quirky engine management light came on for no reason, the dealership plugged in a diagnostic thingy and said it was the ABS sensor on the back wheel, he reset it and it hasn't played up since. I did get a puncture in the rear tyre though. These rear wheels are dead easy and quick to remove and you can still get to a destination if you ride slowly rather than being stranded. The wheel replacement is as easy as it came off. Other than that, it's been fault free enjoyment. The Enfield Hunter would be a great bike to hire if you were on holiday overseas, you don't need 'power' or 'speed' to enjoy scenic countryside and this equates to less chance of killing yourself. Enjoy your travels and keep safe. 👍

[@BackDraftBikes]

Thank you my friend!!

[@kawabungah20]

Nice video review. These bikes appear to be high value for what they are. Royal Enfield has moved in and filled an important niche, combining beauty and affordability. Thank you for the test ride.

[@BackDraftBikes]

Well said!

[@victorlopezromero2130]

As a beginner biker, which one do you recomend? Hunter 350 or Classic 350? Thanks

[@BackDraftBikes]

Hunter!

[@anubhavgupta3522]

THIS MODEL COSTS 2000 USD IN INDIA. AND ITS DAMN RELIABLE. HATS OFF TO ROYAL ENFIELD FOR MAKING SUCH BEAUTIES

[@BackDraftBikes]

Awesome!

[@InnocentMan99]

Looks like you have the optional extra comfort seat on your demo bike. Was it comfortable?

[@BackDraftBikes]

It was very plush

[@kevindarkstar]

Not just the seat, the touring mirrors, the backrest, the fly screen and sump guard, which they often do on the test ride bikes 😊

[@alejandrodelasala6528]

Hello, which one is the best to ride with a couple on weekends in a big city and to make small trips of no more than 100 km around, the classic 350 or the hunter 350, ? thank you very much, maybe if you could make a video comparing the two bikes, thanks again,

[@BackDraftBikes]

I think the classic, but the hunter is more sporty

[@Thunder_Bear_mg]

I was there that day. I have the 2018 moto guzzi v7 III carbon shine (chrome tank) which you can see it in the background at 1:05. I test rode the hunter two times and meteor. Both fun and lovely rides, but I preferred the hunter for its sportier riding position, quicker handling, exhaust note and more pep. I'm 5'5" so a motorcycle being too small is never an issue. And thankfully bigger bikes don't really appeal to me. The route for this demo event was very enjoyable. I left the demo day while you were filming this review.

[@BackDraftBikes]

Ride safe fellow new englander!

[@MartinJG100]

4:46 Eh? I think Honda might have something to say about that :).

[@adityan3208]

Actually both of y'all are wrong. The largest manufacturer of motorcycles in terms of units is an Indian brand "Hero" . Although a fun fact is that Hero and Honda worked together to make bikes in India under the "Hero Honda" brand name. Sadly they separated and since then hero is the largest selling manufacturer of bikes in the world. Edit - you're correct. Hero is #2

[@maheshtima1]

Did you say largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world?

[@kevindarkstar]

Maybe, royal enfield sell more bikes in their home market in one month than triumph sells in a year 😊

[@ytuberization]

Honda is biggest by far with ca. 13 million bikes per year.

[@pomocaj]

If you barely go above 45 mph can this even be considered as a review?
