gotta love an enfield. they're totally killing it right now.
Loving it!
I got hunter 350, and I mean to tell you, it's just flat-out awesome. So much fun to ride

When you mentioned Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats bought the Interceptor I couldn’t help but think that Royal Enfield is the great equalizer. Rich guys want them, and poor guys can afford them. What a bike. Wahoo!
PS: I used to sing the Stray Cat Strut on karaoke nights. 😎
Yes, you're right. RE is the great equalizer. Baxter's has been around since the 70's and sells many classic/vintage motorcycles. I'm told they have a long & interesting list of unique customers. PS the bike Setzer bought was a RE Continental GT...I put the Zard pipes on it...before he bought it. Beautiful motorcycles. Wahoo!
I enjoyed the scenery. Reminds me of where I grew up in Northwestern PA and Northeast Ohio.
Beautiful country!
Nice mellow ride Fuzzy!
No need for aftermarket noise.
Here in Vegas we have the midnight Yahoo,'s that scream up and down the main roads at 2,3,4 in the morning.
Must be traveling 100 miles an hour and in the valley...the sound just echoes....... almost every single night. No need for alarm clocks here.
Your roads...EMPTY. Good lord, how sweet that must be.
Stay Fresh Fuzzy! We need you!
We are a pretty rural state...loads of old roads...Life is good. Wahoo!
I'm not an after market exhaust kind of guy but the sound of that one, you're on, sounds flippin great! I might have to look into that for my Rebel Red, and loving your empty roads and enthusium!! Cheers, Phil
That pipe will egg you on...lol. Really added a lot to the performance and the excitement of this ride. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles what pipe is that?
@@daveschreiber2749 Diablo from Baxtercycle.com
Well am a hunter fan, but what i liked most about your videos is the fact that you comment to each and evey comment... This guy is in detail..
Wahoo!
Bought this pipe from Baxter because of this video. Not only does it sound great and improve performance it shaved 7 pounds from the hunter.
Glad you like it! Good friend of mine bought a Hunter 350 yesterday. I recommended this pipe to him. It's great. Wahoo!
Stock sound is fantastic, but this is pure bliss.
Crazy, isn't it? Love this pipe and I don't usually like loud bikes. Wahoo!
Your videos on this bike have been a huge help to me as someone who was considering getting one. Pulled the trigger on the deal today! SO stoked to have my first RE and couldn't be happier to be back on a bike after 3 years of not having one. Love me some small displacement bikes, best bike I ever owned was a 2015 Yamaha R3. That little bike was an absolute blast.
Hot dang, you're gonna love this one too. Wahoo!
Congratulations on the bike!
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm when riding and talking about the Hunter. Excellent work.
It's a great bike and loads of fun to ride :-)
Western world was unaware of this fun machine, they only knew classic but i have been enjoying since 2010 on my erstwhile thunderbird 350 (on my profile)and now hunter 350, the engine has serious character and despite its smaller size as compared to heavyweights it is very much a hoot to drive and handle.
The world is a wonderful place. Wahoo!
th-cam.com/users/shorts2PV0smxv_SA?feature=share
Sounds like a radial engine off an old biplane, love it
She was a hoot to run hard. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles just got a dapper gray but the weather is lousy, haven’t taken it out yet . Great looking bike
@@tonyfrancesco3701 congratulations! Beautiful motorcycle for sure:-)
Owned Dapper ash Hunter 350, loving every moment when riding it❤
Love the Dapper Ash. Love this bike!
Thank you for nice review 👍 42 years old beginner here thinking about this bike as my first bike.
It would be a great first bike. Do it!
I love my Hunter. Really is a great urban commuter. It just falls into corners. A tacho would be nice. But modern bikes have rev limiters so they are hard to break. My only complaint is REs run-in period of 2000km. Nearly there . 😀
Had an absolute ball riding this motorcycle. The Hunter is a true riders machine. Love this machine. Wahoo!
Doesn't a long run-in period mean that the engine is having bigger tolerances inside? Back in the day you needed to run in a car for 1500 or so.. these days not so anymore. Could mean that RE still is having a lesser modern way of making engines. Which is totally fine of course..
@@olegknowsbest4971 yes, you probably right.
Except for the fact that the J-series engine is a all new design and build, so unless their engine manufacturing plant is less advanced, I'm not sure if your assumption is correct 🤷🏻♂️
Just ride it, mine is getting spanked after 600 miles.
I just got mine delivered two weeks now. Just loving it ❤.
Congratulations! Beautiful motorcycle!
GOOD OLD DAYS OF BIKING ARE BACK WITH ROYAL ENFIELD
Love it!
The Hunter really loves to be in that sweet spot of the 3rd and 4th gears. Is that exhaust a lot louder than the stock exhaust? I think the stock exhaust sounds pretty darn good as well. The RE bar end mirrors are excellent. Perfect bike for the back roads, blue highways of Missouri, Iowa too. I am surprised I do not see more of them on the road. Pick one up for $3,500 used, or less. Low miles. The flat seat is great. Brakes are excellent. Your review is right on.
Pipe is definitely louder. I like it. Wahoo!
Thanks for sharing your review with us viewers FORGOTTEN Motorcycle guy I really like Royal Enfield Hunter 350 for fun practical riding in the back country. I have been studying the engine and service etc and Baxtercycle sure does have some must have add on's to this machine.
It's an absolutely fun motorcycle to ride. Love that bike
Meant to say, I fully agree with you about the transmission, it's absolutely flawless! Well done to RE!!
RE makes great gearboxes. This one and the one on the 650 are almost art. Wahoo!
great stuff love from UK
Thank you!
Of course the best time to buy a windmill is when it has a sail on....
Yes
That's what we're talking about!
Looks great, sounds great and obviously runs great as well.
If I had 350 Hunter configured like that there would only be one problem, trying to get me to stop riding.
It's an insanely fun motorcycle, quite addictive too! I'm trying to figure out more vids to make with it...just because I want to keep riding it. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles As a guy who was raised on a farm in Illinois, Id like to see you capture some planting action. Ride by some fields being worked and maybe catch some shots of the bike next to some tractors? Next to a vintage tractor would be cool.
@@pinkiewerewolf I shall try to do that :-)
@@forgottenmotorcycles Cool Fuzzy, have a great day!
Sounds good 😎👍
Pretty darn good pipe, great ride.
I'm liking the Hunter 350 very much. I do wish it had an analog tach though.
I'm thinking there will be an aftermarket tach option soon....if we're lucky. Wahoo!
Sounds beautiful. That seems like it'd be a really great bike IFFFFFF I live somewhere I don't need to go any faster than 65 or so
I think you are correct...IF!
Enfield has brought back fun in motor cycling and not Hugh expensive running costs, brilliant.
You are correct and we are thankful. Wahoo!
This was absolutely amazing!💯
Can you let me know the brand of the tank tie…its bit blurred in the video !
I think it's a Diablo from Baxtercycle.com Give them a call if you can't find it on their website. I know they have them on the floor. Wahoo!
Fuzzy, I love your vids keep them coming! What brand is the pipe?
I'm thinking that is a Diablo pipe from Baxtercycle.com Give Jeremy at Baxter's a call. Great sound and bike felt more powerful than my Classic, for sure.
The white tank and knee pads changed the whole look of the bike. I had actually thought R.E. came out with a whole new look for the Hunter.. Gotta tell ya, I like the look A LOT!!!
Baxter Cycle is super good at doing these beautifully modded out motorcycles. I really wish they would do a lot more of it. Love them. Wahoo!
Looks fun! I'm kinda looking for my first motorcycle. How's this compared to the Meteor? How fast does it get to 60? I believe id rather the cruiser style of something like this instead of like a Ninja. I weigh just over 265 so that maybe a factor also.
I'd go for the one that looks good to you. These bikes have plenty of low end torque so the lbs should not be a problem. Wahoo!
Fellow Iowegian here. Seriously considering the Hunter
Love that RE Hunter. Get over to Baxter Cycle and take a look at one. Wahoo!
Own dapper grey hunter ❤love with ride yr
Truly fun motorcycles!
I think you like it...!
Little bike was a hoot!
The white went from being the worst colour to the best colour with the knee pads haha
I've heard this before. Wahoo!
Funny it cuts out at 76.
Seen two guys say they go a smidge over 80 on the clock.
I know the limiter seems to kick in about 75 on the meteor.
I fancy one of these. It's no biggy but I would like to know the true top end out of interest.
So several of us have rode this bike and top speed seems to be all over the place...as is the weights of the different riders. At one point I thought I had this bike up to 78 mph. Also, with this pipe the bike seemed to get right up to speed. You can see in the first pass how it just picks up speed right up to the 76 indicated. Im thinking we may have to do some speed testing...if Baxters is willing. Wahoo! PS my GPS claimed a top speed of 75 on my Classic...going down hill behind a big truck. Again...Wahoo!
Seems to get to 70 with ease which all that matters really.
Having a few extra mph to play with is a bonus.
Amazing video❤❤
Can i get to know from where the side panel case is bought
Baxtercycle.com should have them. If you can't find it on the website, give them a call. Wahoo!
I bought 1 a month ago lovely bike ,
these bikes are a hoot. Wahoo!
Hi Fuzzy , from Australia love your vids . i ordered a complete Diablo pipe for my RE hunter Rebel blue 350 ( i hope its not to loud , what do you think? )
You're gonna love it. The pipe sounds great and I think we had the baffle in. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles Wahoo !!
I asked my local RE dealer when they might come available for purchase here the other day, and they said roughly a couple of months. 😔
Dang, Sorry to hear that. Where about are you located? Hope a plane to Baxter's and have one this week. Wahoo!
Are the O2 sensors taken down along with the pipes ?
I don't know the answer for that for sure. I would guess the O2 sensor has to remain hooked up for the computer to keep the engine running right. I'll ask next time I'm at the shop. Thank you
Hi, Love your videos on the RE line up. Matter of fact I am chatting with Jeremy at Baxter about a purchase! Quick question on seat height on the Hunter 350s/this bike. I am 5'6" and 30" inseam, how is the stock seat height on this one from your perspective (for flat footing). They say its about 31.3" which should be about right for me but never know if those dimensions listed are truly accurate! Thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you for watching. Please say hello to Jeremy for me :) Yes, seat is about 31.1 inches or so. The bike is also very narrow so it feels lower than this number might suggest. I too have a 30 inch inseam and find this bike very comfortable. For comparison; the Himalayan has a 31.5 inch seat and feels much taller than the Hunter. Great bike! Would love to put a few hundred more miles on it. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles Big Shout Out to You!! I am the proud new owner of this very Bike from Jeremy at Baxter Cycle! Cant say enough about Jeremy & Baxter, this is a dealer you want to do business with even if not local!!!!
Your videos and excitement really showed off this awesome new RE bike/model and all the Baxter Cycle customization/attention to detail put into it! Such a perfect blend of café racer, sporty look with a bit of just so easy to cruise on. Now I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas as it needs to ship into Charlotte, NC from the transporters . Cant wait to fire it up and ride!
@@VPI8524 hot dang! Congratulations :-) which model and color did you get exactly? Hope you told him about the videos LOL
@@forgottenmotorcycles Oh yeah, mentioned watching all your videos to Jeremy! Bought this one you rode, his personal bike with all these accys on it. Still need to keep picking his brain on what else he had in mind for next mods to keep tweaking on it, LOL.
@@VPI8524 you bought that bike! I wasn't done riding it yet LOL. That is the thing is a hoot! Congratulations!
Great video , thanks . This is a bike on my " bike to buy list " Would you be so kind to tell me your height and weight please ?
Cheers .
It's a great bike. I'm about 68 inches tall and 225lbs. Wahoo!
Great video! Could you please list the parts added from Baxter cycles?
Thanks! I can do better...here is a link to a page with that info and more. Wahoo! www.baxtercycle.com/motorcycles/2023-royal-enfield-hunter-350-5/
The link does not work. I am interested to the knee pads.
Just picked up mine two days ago, it’s such a fun and cool motorcycle!
Your videos were helpful to make my decision and are a pleasure to watch, thank you!
@@sergiosorrentino2476 try Baxtercycle.com and see what you can find. :-)
Could you drop the link for the tank knee pads you have on your bike?
These should be available at Baxtercycle.com If you can't find them on the website please give them a call. They are great to work with, a real mom & pop shop. Wahoo!
Did they remove the sticker before putting on the tabl grip?
Good question. I don't know the answer to that.
@@forgottenmotorcycles do you know where did they get the tank grip?
how can I get that knee grip pad from?
I would try Baxtercycle.com If they don't have them listed I'd give them a call. Very helpful people.
I owned hunter 350 Rebel blue 💙
Beautiful bike in blue :-)
HE was Oh 😲 yeah Oh 😲 boy & Wahoo on Interhunter.
WAHOO wahoo
Fuzzy Rocket 🚀 Gold flash video.
th-cam.com/video/RfdLURTxNjI/w-d-xo.html
He Loves it HE loves it.. i like the bike, but how come it isn't as fast as my old Honda CB350?
I'm thinking that CB350 was lighter and a twin cylinder...if I remember correctly. Would love to take one for a spin. Wahoo!
so what did you think of the exhaust sound - oh yeah, you mentioned it eight times
Vrooom groom
I prefer to buy basic version and if nedsaty get add on later I am happy to cruise at 40 mph but nice to have poke to get to 65 if i needed it .For me i need itfor cruising in spain france and portugal so will layer get the side car for the gear snd the small dog with googles 😂 to sdd clas to this indisn made bike that joe soaps like me can fix without any maps systems eg love nearly no electronics to go wrong 😊
Totally agree
Wahoo Fuzzy.
Pity they're governed to 76mph probably do 80mph.
Wahoo
WAHOO
What is the part number for that exhaust?
I'm not sure but it is available at baxtercycle.com give those guys a call it's not on their website. Pretty sure it's on the site though
What planet are you guys on a 350?.? Exciting? Give me a break😢
I'm easy to get a going...
What is the price of the exhaust sir... I'm from India ❤
I don't know the price. You may find that information at Baxtercycle.com Wahoo!
Can't find the exhaust sir
Is this the dealership at west Omaha?
This is the original Baxter Cycle located in Marne Ia. The Omaha Baxter Cycle is its sister store.
@@forgottenmotorcycles amazing! that tiny township has such a retro focused dealership
@@yus8027 to come visit this store. You will love it! Tell'm fuzzy biker sent ya. WAHOO!
What is top speed ?
I think they are speed limited to about 75 mph.
Is this indian made ?
Yes, made in India.
Gotta put some clubman style bars on it.
Sounds interesting!
A Svartpilen 401 is $5699. Not knockin' the Hunter but the Svart will run circles around it and it looks great. Unfortunately they are nearly impossible to get and if you get lucky you'll pay well over list price. Edit: I just checked my local dealer, there are 13 2023 Svartpilen 401s in stock My how things have changed in such a short time.
You're correct about that 401. Actually tried to buy one before getting my Himalayan. Took a heap of work to find one and when I did the dealer was not...well, I wasn't impressed. Was sure that service and warranty would be a problem. Would love to ride one, actually, would really love to ride that 701. Unfortunately, the 701 isn't available in the USA new today. These bikes seem like brilliant motorcycles. Wish they had good US support. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles Don't get me wrong, I like the Hunter and small motorcycles in general. I just checked the local dealer, they have 13 2023 Svartpilen 401s in stock. I'd call that a glut. I have a 2022 Vitpilen 401. No problems in 7 months of ownership, dealer 9 miles away.
I live in SoCal, ride year round. I love the Vit.
@@georgekrpan3181 our closest dealer is 80 mi away and treats the motorcycle like a side product. If circumstances were better I would certainly love to have one :-)
@@forgottenmotorcycles Cheers FM!
My husky 310 was a complete POS . Constant issues just after break in. Efi and electrical so not easy to diagnose or fix .. good luck with a 401 and any other ktm for that matter
There is a loose nut on the bike. Please wear appropriate PPE. BTW Enfield own Harris now
Yes
Dangerously underpowered triumph of retro marketing over common sense.
You want one, don't you...lol!
RE isn't British anymore. Everything is based in India and its absolutely Indian.
Very well made Indian motorcycles 🙂
For a 350 too heavy and under powered.
Fun to ride too :)
