There's a lot of nonsense being spouted about bikes being underpowered. It's dick waving and I treat it as such. These bikes are not underpowered. They are just fine for the market at which they are being pitched.

[@dannywhite132]

@@markellott5620 it is fine, but when you are struggling to get up to motorway speeds you suddenly feel very vulnerable on the roads, and if you are screaming the engine just to do 60mph, that's when the riding becomes less enjoyable. Yes this is marketed at the city, but a bike that only works well in one location isn't great

[@markellott5620]

@@dannywhite132 plenty of machines are marketed for a specific niche. If you want to tramp up the motorway, this isn't the bike for you. To claim that it isn't suitable for UK roads is patently false as evidenced by the amount you see on UK roads. As for 'screaming the engine' to get up to sixty... These Enfield singles get up to sixty and will cruise comfortably without screaming. If you want to get up to that speed briskly, you just don't short shift. I use a Scram on dual carriageways on a daily basis for work and have no difficulty moving with the traffic (and keeping up with students on bigger, more powerful machines) and haven't had to 'scream' it yet, nor have I felt remotely vulnerable. Okay, so I have all of another 4 bhp... Maybe that makes a difference.

I'm a new rider, got my licence 3 months ago and am waiting for this bike to arrive in Brazil. Was thinking about the Classic 350 or maybe the Scram but got a feeling the Hunter will be my first bike.

[@sravan6492]

I am a new rider. i didnt even try a 350cc engine in my lifetime before. i only tried 150cc and 100cc engines that too for a few days and bought hunter 350 straight away. i was afraid that it will be too heavy because it's 180kg and thought 350cc engine will be too powerful for a beginner. First i thought of classic 350 but it needs experience to control it in traffic conditions and classic 350 needs lot of maintenance. it's not a robust bike. i don't know about scram but it's expensive. so i went for hunter rebel red and been driving it for few days and it feels great. it has the best sound of all royal Enfield bikes bikes running on bs6.. it's easy to control in traffic and feels wonderful. only downside is seat size. Having a pillion is a slight discomfort and also they fall off from the bike if we give quick acceleration and if they don't grab anything for support that's why i put a backrest on

I bought hunter 350 and been driving it for a few days. it's a fantastic bike and very easy to control in traffic. it's not made for highway long riders or for cruising because it doesn't have much power.. and also it shakes a little during strong winds on highways and scares me sometimes 😂.. for city riding it's great.. another downside is the seat size. It feels so tight with a pillion on.. not comfy enough but manageable.. overall it's a great bike considering the price point of this. especially for city riding it's much better than classic 350 or meteor 350 because they are heavy and hard to control

At that point, one of the Enfields 650 twins would make so much more sense.

Yes.. This bike is a bit too heavy for what it is and to underpowered for the EUropean market.. Not by much though.. Having 24 bhp and 30 Nm of torque instead of 20 hp and 27 Nm and shed ten kilos having a kerb weight of 171kg ,, the bike would be killer here in Europe.

Most if not all of my secondary roads are 45 mph roads anyway so 60 is a happy place to ride on them when the authorities aren’t looking. The welds on this frame look a lot better than some I’ve seen on other RE’s and it reminds me a lot of my 68 cb350. Which isn’t blowing anyones mind in power either. Just waiting to see it here. Been driving myself and the wife crazy long enough time to pull the trigger on something come spring and I hope this makes it here by then.

I own a meteor 350 which shares the same engine and brakes both of which take some time to bed in and get considerably better as the miles rack up.

This bike is a good addition to the lineup Royal Enfields have largely shed their build quality issues and the j series engine is though low powered is perfect for this sort of bike .

Okay, you've answered a question that was puzzling me. The Scram's warning light comes on when I've still got about four litres in the tank. That would explain why. Now that it's run in, acceleration is brisk and the brakes, likewise, have bedded in nicely now.

The problem is I live in a sprawling city in the U.S. midwest where it's just practically necessary to be able to ride on the highway at 70 MPH with enough power remaining to accelerate 10 MPH - 15 MPH, even if it's just for five to ten miles. I don't need a leader bike or a crotch rocket, but if it can't reach 80 MPH - 85 MPH then it's really restrictive. I have my eye on the Interceptor 650 as it looks like it can do the job.

One tooth bigger on the front sprocket and a tooth smaller at the rear would up the gearing to a better level but would the 20hp engine be able to push it or might it bog down?

direct competitor is Honda cb350rs, which sadly isn't available in south america just yet. looking forward to this one.

[@tangmehd5044]

For a beginner like me it's awesome 😎😎😎

I am continously facing self starting issues in Royal Enfield Hunter 350 REBEL blue

[@bhuan_1]

I have many bikes of RE . As it is really popular in India. Continents gt Meteor350 Hunter 350 Classic 350 . According to my experience . The best is meteor for comfort and GT for power...

[@Thinkbetter690]

Good choice for your 2nd machine

[@tobynorman852]

This being sub £4000 highlights how ridiculously priced 125s are

[@Yo_uj]

Hunter is very appealing and has a cool ride factor.

[@akmankalash]

beautiful bike i love these new enfields. I use to have an old bullet and that thing leaked gas out of the showroom

[@flyaroundyourfire]

I bought a second hand Street Twin from a dealer last year. Gave me problems from the get go so I sold it 6 months later. Maybe it was just a bad egg. This Hunter has caught my eye 👀 though, how reliable are they?

[@lgwappo]

Wondering if RE might put the Scram 411 engine in this. For some of us who miss the 500.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Great video. The main question is, if it is worth going for the Scram just for the fact that it is a bit more powerful? :) Who knows?

[@vineetsahoo1077]

I ride hunter 350 to work, and it's easy to flick it during traffic, but I do crave for more power 😐 during long rides.

[@andersbarfodsvaneskolan9378]

not sure why Enfield has limited the power output of the 349cc single and the 411cc single cylinder engine.. The 411cc has a bore/stroke ratio of 0.91 and a modest 24.3hp output.. TEC parts in the UK designed and new camshaft for that engine and with a few other mods (less restrictive airflow) the bike gained an extra 20% power and had a power output of 29hp.. .. Which made it better for European highways.. I see that Hitchcock have a new performance camshaft for the J series engine (349cc) but not in stock before march and there is no mention of what gains to be expected but even a modest 15% should be welcoming giving it 23.2hp instead of 20.2hp.. If torque would be increased by 15% it would be a stronger pulling bike with 31Nm instead of the stock 27Nm,, The even longer stroked 348cc Honda air-cooled single makes 30Nm at a low 3000 rpm.. How come the Enfield only make 27Nm at 4000 rpm.. ????

[@STEALTH1DAN]

Yeah if the hunter had the slightly more powerful engine of the scram 411 would be better...in my opinion

[@Aiimsdelhi75]

Honda Hness CB350 is the competition with high price but all the missing features and great Honda experience!

[@dominiclhouvum8231]

I came here after i saw a RE hunter parked in front of me. I thought what bike is that and my God its one of a beauty. I am blushing because the headlights are staring at me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DrFearCo]

The matte blue is a cool colour

[@SSS-mp8th]

Love the look and price but with the power to weight ratio similar to a Honda Grom it's not for me.

[@marton_horvath]

can we forget "mega" and "super" please?

[@julianrose810]

A great bike with a maximum speed limited to just over seventy miles per hour. But don't be discouraged Tec Bike Parts & Hitchcock's have one or two bits that will improve the ridability but unfortunately not the top speed....

[@shonith91]

No doubt it looks like the triumph. When i first saw the tail light, I actually thought it was a triumph.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

Good looking little with nice colours to chose from at a very good price mark. I just hope it's a better ride than the RE interceptor 650 because the steering is pretty heavy on that bike, feel old as well. Will it be comfortable for my 6'2" and powerful enough to move my 16 1/2 stone heft though?

[@chrisw4215]

I wouldn't worry about your weight, but I'm also curious about the frame, as I'm 6.2. RE sells bench-style seats for this bike. I guess it could be good for taller riders

[@berniereme5864]

I am thinking of taking my test at 57 years old. Am I too old to learn, would this bike be a good first bike for a novice
