In this episode I take the Hunter out for a spin to see if the ride is as nice as the looks... let me know your thoughts?

What mileage was showing during your flat out ride? Mine took 3000 miles before it showed top speed which improved by around 10mph compared to earlier speeds

Yep, both my Meteor and Classic 350 took well in excess of 1,000 miles before they started to loosen up and gain full power. At 400 miles, the engine is nowhere near run in.

"Light and nimble - yet planted". The team at Bruntingthorpe have done an excellent job again. The much anticipated Baby Bonneville from Triumph may eventually appear - but by then the Hunter will have become rather established. It is Triumph's error - to ignore small capacity bikes, their marketing team got that a bit wrong (and that's from me - a T100 owner). As time goes by and speed limits continually get squashed, bikes like these become even more relevant in my opinion. Nice vid, thanks 👍

I agree Jim, the bike is great but think it's going to appeal to us older generation more, great price, good build quality and a 3 year warranty. Younger riders who have just got their A2 licence are going to want more than 20hp to play with.🤔

Owned my Hunter almost 2 months only done a little over 400 miles and I love it great machine , light , comfy , nimble , economic looks great , sounds great I don’t know how R E are doing them so cheap , Brilliant back road , twisty street scrambler that’s very capable 👍

I think this bike would be perfect with the 411 engine in it from the Scram, still small and light but able to cruise easily at 70mph, wouldn't say no to a tacho to balance out the dash either!

Great looking bike. I found the sweet spot for a small displacement well-rounder was 35 to 40 horsepower. Anything smaller was limited to running errands around the neighbourhood. Hitchcock's will have a big bore kit eventually for that bike, and it will have the 10 extra horsepower it needs. Good review, thanks.

I removed both mirrors within the first month of ownership and replaced with blanking bolts, because they look absolutely crap. I'll see how I get on without them, but the mirrors on all my sports bikes are next to useless for visibility anyway, so what's the point?

Beats me why you would want to go green laining on a bike like this. For sure this is not a bike for sitting at 70 all day. It is clearly made for the backroads which it excels.

Not sure what the mileage is on this particular bike, however, I wonder if once the engine and gearbox has been worn in if it’ll offer a little more in terms of power? I’ve only ever had one brand new motorbike and after 1k miles it offered a noticeable difference in torque and power?

It gets up to 75 fine when run in. 0-60 time is about 7 or 8 seconds faster than most 125cc bikes. It'll go up hills much easier than any of them. It would leave a CG 125 for dust honestly.They are one of the most sluggish 125's around. These bikes are for people what want to ride at the speed limit but have more torque and acceleration than a 125.

Hello Mark, I like your channel. The RE 350 hntr is a nice bike. More accommodating than the Meteor. For me, in addition to appearance and handling, reliability and durability are important. What does good looks mean to me if parts keep falling off or the engine breaks down after 20000 km. Is there a long-term test for the RE 350? I mean more than just 1000 km. I am currently driving a Suzuki GS500E for 22 years and almost 70000 km without any repairs outside of normal maintenance. I've noticed that many REs, no matter what kind, show up on the used market relatively quickly. I ask myself: What is the reason for this?
@sergentcolon1
@sergentcolon1 Жыл бұрын
The reason a lot of RE’s come up for same relatively quickly is that a lot of people can’t really get on with the lower power and top speeds of the RE bikes and want to move on to something with more power and speed. I’ve had two RE’s a Bullet 500efi and a Himalayan. I kept the bullet for 3 years before moving to a Vstrom 1000 and a few years later bought the Himalayan, which is a great travel bike. The only reason I moved on from the Himalayan was a knee problem that made manhandling a 190kg bike around on my gravel drive a problem. I do like the Hntr and Meteor bikes though, especially the low seat height of the meteor and find the 350 engine great for round town and A and B roads. They’re not bikes for 70mph roads though unless you fancy having hgv’s breathing down your neck.

@@haraldvogt7371 I see plenty of people on the RE Facebook groups doing lots of mods to get more power from their bikes, my philosophy is if you want more power then buy a more powerful bike to start with instead of spending a lot of money for a few extra bhp.

I think the "small" bikes are perfect for new riders. When they get enough confidence, they probably buy a bigger bike. Every bike has its purpose. On the other hand, I could "revert" your question: why anyone should stay with 1 bike for long if they can try other bikes? (especially that they can find one that suits them better at the time). If you stay with 1 bike for 20 years, maybe they don't know what they're missing? (I'm not saying that's your case). In a few months/years time, people expectations can really change.
