Royal Enfield are touting the Hunter as an urban warrior. Let's find out for ourselves shall we?

Want to support the channel & help me replace broken levers?

My gear

My Himalayan is the same idea. Though I have the suspension and performance completely modified. It is actually pretty cheap on the whole to upgrade compared to a lot of other bike and it has been very transformative. I get 70 US miles to the gallon, all the services are cheap to do by yourself or cheaper than other bikes to have serviced, and it's super cheap to insure.

SO ACCURATE! even if it had slightly more power around 24-25bhp it would be nearly perfect

They designed it for the city, I bought mine for the back road twisting roads . It’s more fun than all of the big mikes I’ve ever owned . Power wise it’s perfect for state roads and great for back roads, it’s not a high speed highway bike, maybe a few miles

That little thing looks like a blast for town traffic

Great in town review Crazy Man Curtis! Splitting up & down the streets. The RE is a do it all little bike if you're not in a hurry. Looking forward to your final review. What's next? How is the progress of the Kwaka? That's the next beast to grace the bush me thinks!
Cheers.
Bet you're hanging to try the 450MT!

The Guerilla 450 would solve the lower power issue

Lane splitting...great single track...needs some ruts and sand...😁😁😁. When are you going to try the new 450 Himalayan....? Garth

Looks like a pretty nice machine for city and commute riding. Probably needs an exhaust swap to git it 1 or 2 more horse power.

[pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent review Curtis. 👍
You really hit a lot of the talking points for the Hunter 350.
Wouldn’t another 50cc’s or so make it into a super hoon machine?!😁

[Danziman]

I wonder if the new 450 Himalayan engine would be better suited to what you need to for better acceleration.

[tbillington]

Looks like a great little bike. How do you find the vibes at different speeds?

[TheInterloafer]

This video answers my exact question because I've been wondering about this a lot. I currently have a Kawasaki W800 (which I adore!) but I've been using it almost exclusively for in-city commutation. I started wondering if it wasn't maybe too much bike for the task. I started wondering if I might be better off with a Hunter 350 if it was more nimble and flickable inside the traffic. This video answers a lot but nothing beats a test ride, right?

Hey, Can you do a video of best tyre for Scramblers ?

[YA-klny]

Fuel economy ?

I would do with this Bike a trip from Germany to Turkey without doubt

[RS]

if someone doesnt want to spend too much for a city bike. its good

[CaptLawrence]

personally after owning the bullet 500 for a decade I cant see the reason other than price to own this model over the classic.

[IanSmart-gy]

You could try a smaller front sprocket (or a larger raer) to improve the pickup. I don't think it would affect fuel economy that much.
