One thing that wasn’t obvious until you ran into a few people who had owned one of the Hunter 350 is that, even with Royal Enfield’s notorious recent reliability then and consistent records now, the new Hunter seems even worse.

In fact, the Hunter has been more reliable than my old Classic 350. The simpler design seems to have fewer potential failure points, and less vibration means fewer things rattling loose.

I have had my Hunter for about 8 months and have been back to the service center three times already. It’s nothing major but annoying little things keep popping up. The Meteor feels less reliable than my friend's.

It's hit or miss. For some people I know, they have zero issues, others have little issues all the time. I believe RE's quality control is still uneven across the board.

I've heard suspension and exhaust issues with the Hunter, but engine and electronics seem more reliable. It’s probably not a huge leap forward, but it’s probably on par with other recent RE models.

I've worked on a few Hunters before, as a mechanic. The good thing about them is that they are easier to work on than other REs, for reliability. They still have some of the typical RE quirks, but.

It’s reliable if you stay on top of maintenance, I think. I’ve seen a lot of the issues from people not riding according to the service schedule or pushing the bike too hard too soon before the break in period is completed.

The Hunter just doesn't feel as reliable to me, as it does coming from Japanese bikes. It has character, and there are occasional hiccups, but that’s what makes up for it. Right, all part of the RE experience.

Is the Hunter 350's lighter weight and nimble handling somehow a trade off of the classic Royal Enfield 'feel' that we're used to?

10 January 2025 12:16

I think the Hunter is right. There's just enough of that RE character but not so much you feel like a dinosaur. It’s way more fun in the city because of the lighter weight.

It's lost the plot for me. The Hunter is a proper Enfield, but it feels more like a generic commuter. The Classic was solid and planted, and I miss that.

10 January 2025 12:16

It's just different 'feel' but not necessarily worse. I think it's more playful and less intimidating, and will attract new riders to the brand. It's still got RE DNA, just evolved.

Having owned both a Classic and a Hunter I would say that the Hunter actually seems to feel more engaging to ride. With the lighter weight you feel more connected to the road.

RE feel is overrated, the classic feel. The Hunter is more practical, and still has plenty of character. This is a modern take on what an Enfield can be.

I didn't believe him at first, but the Hunter's grown on me. It's still Royal Enfield, but in a different way, and it's got its own unique feel.

It’s great that it’s lighter weight, but I do miss the distinctive thump. The Hunter is a bit too refined for my taste. It's a trade-off.

Both Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Honda Hornet 2.0 are great motorcycles in their own right. The Hunter 350 is a great bike for those looking for an affordable, yet stylish small-capacity motorcycle.
