Royal Enfield Hunter 350 | First Ride Review

[@HunterVlog350cc]

Hunter does everyday 55 miles with me and so far very capable workhorse even in cutthroat traffic, it is a terrific handler in neck to neck traffic, gives 25miles per liter easily in city

[@EspressoRacer]

That miles per gallon is amazing on this bike!

[@royball3932]

I have a new Hunter which I am running-in in accordance with the manufacturer’s handbook. I enjoyed your video, but felt very uncomfortable watching a brand new bike being taken to the limit on its first outing. Stuart Fillingham has a comprehensive video about running-in a new motorcycle on his channel. I encourage you to watch it.

[@EspressoRacer]

Thanks! I'll check it out

[@letni9506]

It's a demo bike though. They are there to sell other hunters. If people rode them at running in speed they probably wouldn't learn anything about it or buy one. They'll sell it on as demo and before it takes too much stick. Someone will be happy to make a saving and all will be good.

[@ruahinesrider]

Does have different map from Classic 350 & has shorter wheel base & sharper rake in forks making it nimble.Has floating motor design so motor is apart of frame giving lower center of gravity.Once run in will be smoother & slightly faster & cruise at 70mph easy.

[@EspressoRacer]

Awesome insight man! Thank you for the explanation!

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Just got My Rebel Blue Hunter last week ,Love it 💙 😷👍

[@EspressoRacer]

Congrats! Ride safe man

[@WilliamAPBodie]

This video makes me smile alot. the sound of the bike. is just like what i did as a kid. pretending driving a bike 😛

[@EspressoRacer]

Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@letni9506]

Nice to see it reaches 80 with a tight new engine. Should be good for uk roads where 70 is the max legal limit. I'm considering it as a commuter where I'll never go more than 60. It's currently £3683 otr here for the dapper variant. So that's like moped money really.

[@EspressoRacer]

This would make a great commuter bike!

[@rayutwenty-four6753]

Great review, thanks!

[@EspressoRacer]

Thank you for watching!

[@Gimpthulhu]

I'm really digging the Hunter 350, but I really wish it also had an analog tachometer.

[@EspressoRacer]

I actually agree with you on this. I got used to the analog with the gt650

[@Gimpthulhu]

@@sagnaik It's mostly an aesthetic preference, but it's also another data point. Sometimes bikes do abnormal things, and it's good to know at what RPMs said thing might be occuring.

[@Ariel-ve8kw]

From what I was told this had to do with shortages for chips when they were in production. But you can find a tach on Hitchcock moto to fit it.

[@dynaflojoe]

Just took my BRSC passed the evaluation with a perfect score no point deductions same color. Definitely built for Urban riding. Same color Pure Ride i passed on

[@EspressoRacer]

That’s awesome man!

[@drew5337]

I love this little thing but i know id hate the power. Triumph to the rescue with the speed 400, cant wait to see that.

[@EspressoRacer]

Can’t wait to test the triumph 400!

[@molonlabe9602]

If you want a putt putt around town bike, this is OK. The Speed 400 is so much more of a bike than this. Twice the horsepower and lighter weight.

[@eugenex.p.3430]

Howdy neighbor, from Mo. City TX. Great video. I love the style, price, and fuel economy of this Hunter 350. I might get one for my Houston commute. I’m 6’2” 230 lb’s and average a speed of 40-70 mph. Do you think this Hunter 350 would be a good recommendation? Please say yes 😅

[@EspressoRacer]

Hey man! I would absolutely think this bike would be great for you! 70-80mph is about the top speed you'll get on this bike, but this would make a PERFECT commuter bike. Check it out at Iron Supply in Katy, TX and let me know what you think! Keep in touch with me on Instagram @Espresso.Racer and ask me any other questions you may have

[@domain300]

How does the hunter compare with the meteor?

[@EspressoRacer]

Hunter is lighter and more nimble

[@zerostate2924]

is TVS bikes available there ? like they are just super fun to ride

[@EspressoRacer]

Hmm never heard of TVS bikes but I’ll look into it!

[@HunterVlog350cc]

@@EspressoRacer no need to look for TVS they tried to challenge Hunter by launching a 225cc ronin that failed miserably in India, they are good in sub 300 cc segment only , even their 310 cc joint development with bmw is a failure here that is selling as gs 310, g310r from bmw. The only real competition to hunter but 50% costlier is triumph speed 400 That bajaj made with Triumph, In India RE commands more than 90% market share in 300-700 cc segemnt

[@OlafThorbjorn]

@@HunterVlog350ccI didn’t know those numbers, 90% , damn! But I feel it’s deserved, those bikes are lovely.

[@TictacAddict1]

If you can keep it on highways of 60 mph (not hard with Google maps), you won't be let down.

[@adolfgerhardhermann5952]

Where the price tag go?

[@EspressoRacer]

Good catch! I absolutely lost it lol

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Awesome bike with awesome bark! Love the sound of this thing. I get what your trying to show case, but you should run it like that when it’s yours. Kinda put it through the wringer for a bike with only 2 miles on it. There is such a thing called “break in period”. Someone’s going to get a deal on a poorly broke in ride. Too bad🫤

[@NoFrictionZone]

I have to ask about those gloves, please. Nice review.🤙

[@EspressoRacer]

Thanks for watching! I got these from Amazon :) pretty cheap too it will break down faster than most but for the price, I'll replace them all day

[@anubhavgupta3522]

GOT TO HAVE TVS BIKES IN STATES.. THEY R JUST TOO GOOD TO RIDE

[@JamesW-yb5wq]

How tall are you

[@EspressoRacer]

5 7

[@grahamcrighton8113]

Uncomfortable watching… thrashing a new bike and appalling clutch and downward changes. Before you start doing reviews learn how to down change properly etc. painful to watch.

[@EspressoRacer]

Thanks for your input!

[@trevortrevortsr2]

How rude - bet he votes Trump LOL

[@grahamcrighton8113]

I’m not in the US… if I was I wouldn’t be voting for Trump… 😉

[@grahamcrighton8113]

@@trevortrevortsr2 - rude… no, honest yes. When you get a bike free of charge and abuse it you would expect a truthful response which is what it is. As for Trump… no thank you!

[@njt4253]

I was thinking the same thing !! Like no respect at all and why so hard on the downshifts ? If I was that dealership I would never let him test ride anything.

[@leonic5009]

My dream bike🤍

[@EspressoRacer]

You got this man!

[@superfly2449]

Katy’s probably the least fun area in Texas to ride a bike.

[@EspressoRacer]

FACTS! My favorite areas in "Houston" are Sam Houston Forest area and west of Katy (Racer's Road)

[@lucaba419]

The Hunter looks great and certainly is a honest little bike but I wouldn’t tollerate the exhaust sound for long; too loud, even in the video.

[@EspressoRacer]

I agree, I’m not a fan of the stock exhaust much

[@njt4253]

OMG !! That's probably one of the best stock exhaust notes I've ever heard. And the fact that it's coming from a little tiny 350 would make me want to ride this bike everyday.

[@mitchhopkins4514]

Ive noticed alot of people doing reviews on bikes don't know how to ride or shift motorcycles 😂

[@EspressoRacer]

For real!

[@richard2951960]

everything good and wel but this not how you ride a bike , that gearbox will not last long !!!👎, give everything a chance to do his job man !!!!
