Do you think the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is better than the Classic 350, or the latter is still the better RE to buy? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
The hunter looks trendy and cool but the seating position is what made me decide for the Classic 350. It fits my laid-back, relaxed riding style. More like cruising than riding actually.
I am a smol 5’5 South East Asian guy. This is my first manual motorcycle. I have test ridden all the 350’s extensively and I chose the classic 350 for overall seating comfort during long-ish weekend rides. The Hunter looks like a snappy urban commute but it does not fit my riding needs. Soon, I will be upgrading tho.
I’m 26. Took a test ride of both these two weeks ago and went with the Classic. My second bike. Hunter exhaust sounds hollow, and the classic may look like a slow-mover, but that seating is comfy and the bike almost effortlessly sits at 60-70 kph in the city. The hunter might seem faster, but the classic has bigger wheels, upright ergonomics, and a better sounding exhaust. Anyway, that’s my two-cents. You do your test ride before buying. ✌🏼
Can you describe what in your test ride made you choose the Classic 350? I am in a similar position. I plan to buy one of these motorcycles as my first motorcycle at the beginning of August.
The Hunter is a looker and sounds great. Would be my choice. Two years ago I did choose the Triumph Trident 660 over the RE Interceptor. The RE is too heavy for the HP it has. The extra price was not the decider, but the weight.
As a 70+ year old I prefer the Hunter it's lighter and more practical 😉 Testing an.exhaust on the Hunter? It would be great if you could review a DNA AIR FILTER and perhaps the Fuel X light too many would be interested 😉
These are just different models RE is launching to scale its business and stay relevant to please its variety of target audiences. However, real RE lovers know the value of the original bullet which is irreplaceable.
The one thing most reviews miss is that the Hunter feels much lighter than it actually is. 14kg is not that much of a difference wrt to numbers. It feels much more lighter than that. I rode these 2 bikes on test ride and this fact is instantaneously noticeable.
I like the Classic, for stile and looks. One thing you left out is MPG and range per tank of gas, two very important things for us living in the country, and who to travel the back roads where gas stations are few and far. I want the Himalayan 450 and the classic in my stable. Just need a dealer hear on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
The crank cases on the classic will, just like the Interceptor and Continental oxidize if not regularly polished as will any polished alloy surface that isn't lacquered. The Hunters crankcases are anodised so it's not fair to compare them. The classics cases have oxidised due to poor maintenance 🙄
wich of those it's better to travel with a companion ? which seat it´s more comfortable? wich it´s better to manouver in the city traffic? maybe the hunter?
Now THIS is review...Riden, tested and dirty. Love the fact that you have shown the age looked on classic's metal covers. Great video but i have to clarify... 8:15 that is not even 3000rpm on both bikes. First try not reaching 2000rpm and second throtle is not above 4000rpm.
Tomorrow you will ask why KHADAAU have been replaced by slippers and shoes Come on, it is 2024 Self start has been tried and tested across times My avenger cruise never had kickstarter, never failed to start even in winters. Think beyond your pond
I've a Classic 350 2017(11k done). Please suggest if I should move to the Hunter. Most of my commute is within the city(80%) I'll have to sell off the Classic and then book the new one)
Can u plz suggest me for my next step I bought 2017 model classic 350 for the cost of 1.33 lakh with 38km and I'm using bike from past 6 months. In these 6 months bike got some problems to repair By spending 23k nearly I repaired all that problems So even now also I'm not using bike with complete satisfaction by having rust issues and small small repairs So now can I go with hunter 350 or continue with my classic 350

I beg to differ regarding the central stand issue you've mentioned. Any normal adult, male or female would be able to put both the bikes on centre stand with ease, if the proper steps are followed.
Prior to watching this video, I had decided to buy classic 350. But after seeing this video, I am going for 350 hunter now. That’s a great relief you have provided @Suvil sir. Having been first time buyer I was under this conundrum as to which one I should choose. But that’s finally clear now. All thanks to you. I have just one question sir. I have a range of 2.5 lacs, under this price, which bike would be appropriate for me ? Please do tell me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Yash Chauhan, Delhi.
@@himanshushekhar6680 that's a slight concern, but given a service range of 7000 kms not too big a concern if you're even around 200kms from a bigwing.
That one is a *LOOKER* nothing in this range comes close to the looks of that bike. Revs better, has better top end, has good low end, lighter. Just that its way too expensive for what its offering. Had it been even 5-10k more expensive than the Hunter I'd have probably gone for that. But no, its way too expensive.

Nice video but I can't decide which one I should buy can you give me a good suggestions thank you ❤
Hunter is way better
The hunter looks trendy and cool but the seating position is what made me decide for the Classic 350. It fits my laid-back, relaxed riding style. More like cruising than riding actually.
How tall are you and do you still feel the same?

Hunter wheels are wider than classic which look sick
How tall are you?
@@yoso585 5,11
Well I am 62 and still prefer the Hunter. It is a great price in the U.K. also
Well, you seem to be young at heart ❤️
Go for it! I ordered one too! The Dapper ash variant looks so picturesque in daylight.
And I'm 74 and love my Hunter. Very manoeuvrable.
I'm 154
My idea as well, nicer looking bike.
After thinking a lot and watching lots of videos but mainly after taking the test ride i bought classic 350 and after a month i am more than happy
Congratulations 🎉
Can you describe what in your test ride made you choose the Classic 350? I am in a similar position. I plan to buy one of these motorcycles as my first motorcycle at the beginning of August.
@@joebetz6317which one did u buy?
The Hunter is a looker and sounds great. Would be my choice. Two years ago I did choose the Triumph Trident 660 over the RE Interceptor. The RE is too heavy for the HP it has. The extra price was not the decider, but the weight.
Apart from Poor Ground clearance, Hunter is better then Classic in almost all areas.
A very informative and professionally produced video. Many thanks from the UK.
As a 70+ year old I prefer the Hunter it's lighter and more practical 😉
Testing an.exhaust on the Hunter?
It would be great if you could review a DNA AIR FILTER and perhaps the Fuel X light too many would be interested 😉

Agreed, but they have their own niche in the market. As for the Bullet 350, the new-gen model is going to be launched soon.
The one thing most reviews miss is that the Hunter feels much lighter than it actually is. 14kg is not that much of a difference wrt to numbers. It feels much more lighter than that. I rode these 2 bikes on test ride and this fact is instantaneously noticeable.
Yes, it masks its weight well. However, both the motorcycles are equally flickable, and light on their feet.
@@BikeWaleOfficial Agreed
Lower centre of gravity
yup hunter is faster and lighter
If the Hunter is same size as the Classic then i would consider it. But it is too small and has no street presence.
people ask me about my hunter almost everyday
it definitely has street presence
Great review. I particularly appreciate showing the riders position. Wish more reviewers would take tips from you.
Glad you liked our review. Thank you for the appreciation and kind words.
My favorite classic 350 may be a suit that is taller than 6 feet. Thank you, Bro.. I sincerely appreciate it.
I am also planning to buy the Hunter seeing the review

I'm a completely new rider. Is there a particular product you recommend for polishing the crank case?
@@joebetz6317 Autosol metal polish.
Which is good in City and which is good for long rides?
wich of those it's better to travel with a companion ? which seat it´s more comfortable? wich it´s better to manouver in the city traffic? maybe the hunter?
Classic is more comfort, mainly for pillion seat, but for city hunter is best for manouver. Let me know your feedback
@@balachandarmutharasu2328 ok,
Hunter best or not when compare to classic heating and ground clearance
Now THIS is review...Riden, tested and dirty. Love the fact that you have shown the age looked on classic's metal covers.
Great video but i have to clarify... 8:15 that is not even 3000rpm on both bikes. First try not reaching 2000rpm and second throtle is not above 4000rpm.
Thank you 😊
@@BikeWaleOfficial Thank you for legitimate testing.
Not like super meteor review...paid statements without real life coverage.
@@maxuzb The Super Meteor video was an overview, not review!
Hi I'm from Bangladesh and about to purchase RE Hunter, but in the official specification book it says air-oil cooled! What does it means actually?...
What was the need to remove kick-start in newer bikes ?
Tomorrow you will ask why KHADAAU have been replaced by slippers and shoes
Come on, it is 2024
Self start has been tried and tested across times
My avenger cruise never had kickstarter, never failed to start even in winters. Think beyond your pond
I've a Classic 350 2017(11k done). Please suggest if I should move to the Hunter. Most of my commute is within the city(80%)
I'll have to sell off the Classic and then book the new one)
nah use it for a few more years
I doubt ground clearance is an issue on the Hunter but it would be worth mentioning here if it was an issue or not during the shoot
It's a big issue I face daily. Hunter would have been perfect if RE bothered to give it the same GC as the Meteor or the classic.
Not an issue... Maine bade bade speed breaker par nikala h... Kuch nahi hota
Nice riding shots, thanks
Especially liked the attention to detail while capturing the exhaust note
Thank you 🙏🏽
Can it swap standard headlights with LED in Royal Enfield workshop? (Not in private workshop).
In this video hunter is in which colour?
Only thing I wish the classic had was to display gear your on but saddly does not have.
Okay.
Can u plz suggest me for my next step
I bought 2017 model classic 350 for the cost of 1.33 lakh with 38km and I'm using bike from past 6 months. In these 6 months bike got some problems to repair

Thanks for the appreciation.
@@BikeWaleOfficial ✔👍Always Honest & Truthfull Review By BikeWaLe'Team👍✔
Greetings from Panama, great video, it helps me decide between both for my daily driver
I am buying it 😊 next month ❤
Do a comparison video between the re hunter and Honda highness which do make it pretty competitive and helps us to buy
Nice comparison bro
10:34 : Hunter's digital cluster doesn't show engine temp, but time.

Yash Chauhan, Delhi.
So which you bought...😊
In UK Hunter 350 cost about 3.6 lacks
How does the hunter compare against the Dominar 250. They have almost the same weight but very different engine character.
The Dominar 250 is a sports tourer, the Hunter 350 is a sporty commuter for the city.
Hunter for shorties, go for yezdi if you can
It's the Hunter for me.
Weight wise and height wise hunter is perfect... You can feel the paply engine
Classic seat height is 805 not 785
Thanks man
You’re welcome sir.
One -ve in HUNTER is pillion comfort 😞
Dapper ash or Dapper grey which one is beautiful m confuse🤔
grey
Grey
Choose gay
If price is not issue then classic
Fair point.
Hunter the best
What is the height of the rider ?
5’ 10”
I like riding Hunter more
I'm go for the hunter 359
Hunter 350
ok.
Channel ka naam hindi me aur review English me
Classic is classic
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
🙏🏽
Neither. Instead Honda cb350 RS. ❤️ THE best long stroke 350 in every way and cheaper than a classic.
Ok, fair point.
What about Honda big wing showroom availability
@@himanshushekhar6680 that's a slight concern, but given a service range of 7000 kms not too big a concern if you're even around 200kms from a bigwing.
