Conclusion - what sticks
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a motorcycle like a good friend. It exudes extreme serenity and is easier to ride than almost any other bike. Due to its low weight and ergonomics, it fits every biker, no matter which statue. Of course, you can't expect miracles from her, especially in terms of performance, but nobody who is considering a purchase will do that either. It is beautiful and simple and much can not break on this machine. Purchase price, taxes, insurance, fuel and workshop costs should be kept to a minimum. You can hardly be cheaper and more stylish on the road – if at all, perhaps with the Classic 350.Competitors of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are (in addition to the already mentioned 350s from our own company) the Mash Five Hundred, Benelli Imperiale 400, Mondial HPS 300i and the Brixton Felsberg 250. Many thanks to KSR for the test of the Hunter 350.
