It´s neither better nor worse, it´s simply different. However, I like the Classic better, all metal, more robust in appearance, larger wheels, more comfortable, and that timeless aesthetic... Greetings from Spain!
Fair enough! in fact i was thinking of giving my red/chrome a bit of a run later today. have not been on it for near 2 months. should be interesting. all the best from au.
I did this after I had a bad wrist injury and reconstruction, made a video about making bar risers and installing. I've found even 25mm rise (which is the most you can really getting away with without working on the cable routing/lengths) helped get pressure off my wrists. Would recommend for sure for anyone with wrist, arms or back limitations.
I tested that bike and found it to be as you say. But for my 65 year old self, very uncomfortable. Definitely and obviously marketed for the young people. BTW , looking at a 2009 Bullet 500 tomorrow with 1600 miles on it. What do ya think??? Thanks
i had a new 2013 bullet 500 or B5 and it was a pretty good bike so id say worth looking at. give it a run and put it on 100 kph and if your happy then i see no reason not to buy it. well i suppose that could depends ipon the price
Thanks 👍 yeah it was interesting to do that back to back ride on both bikes. that way one gets a much better idea. hunter has a really good ecu tume. very lively to ride for 20 hp
350 with looks better & with nobbly tyre's looks even better.I see RE has released a article about new 650 Scrambler called the Bear 🐻.Looks ok beefed up Interceptor with Showa forks & nobbly tyre's & 2-1 Scrambler exhaust Warro.
yeah i think enfield is moving into any area they think they can score a quick $$$. interesting to see how this all pans out. hopefully they may learn to put in better batteries too. mine crapped out in the 2023 red/chrome 350 in just 8 months i think for near $9000 -one should get a better battery...lol
Great tempter clip, Warro. I stuffed my back 30 years ago. I've found the best position is the 'sit up and beg', similar to a touring bike. As long as my feet are inline with my back, that's the most comfortable. Thanks for pointing things like this out in your videos. Cheers, mate.
well you could but when i do things like that...all im doing is buying a bike for some-else to get much cheaper...lol but if that hunter 350 tune was on the classic 350 -what a bike! only issue that tune/bike wasn't out but you'd think they could easily do an ecu upgrade BUT if i was royal enfield what i could do but i won't is throw that hunter tune in the next new model classic. that way me and many other would abort their old classic 350 and go for the new model upgrade. not as silly as it sounds either. the hondy cb500x had a jerky throttle from when i bought my first in 2018 till 20/21. then in 022 they addressed the throttle made it way better added new forks and threw in twin discs so they are out there to make money ( the manufacturers)and i guess we are there to buy them.....lol
as i have ridden a hunter and i found it suits me at my young age of 66,now a oap in the uk,that new 450 guerilla,well i cant have both ..???? can i .???
i think it would beat the gb350 and steer and handle better too. its more an angro style of bike. but the gb350 vibe wise is a pretty smooth bike to ride and very easy to live with so thats my choice
Can't wait for the dry months to do some dirt and gravel work on my hunter 350. Also I think I must be the only person who hasn't had issues with the rear suspension? maybe I lucked out with my unit. I normally do get a sore back and backside. But most of my earlier years were spent riding Ag and trail bikes so maybe I'm just used to rear suspension being much worse, so the hunter inst as bad to me in comparison xD
yeah i understand. its like some say the 500 enfield has no vibration and others do. i think its more what one can tolerate. either way its a pity they did not give this great tune from the hunter to the classic 350. if it was a high end camera it would just be a plug and play software upgrade. either way the hunter is a nice bit of kit to the enfield range
Just like riding a scooter? is that why your knees don't grip the tank and your arms are outstretched with no bend at the elbows must make it feel like your in control of a pallet truck!
Well done you! , bet the dealerships are laughing all the way to the bank on all the depreciation on each new bike you have moved on to get the Next best thing, ,even if it was only a thousand bucks lost on each new bike that's 70,000 over 12 years ouch!
@@steveoswin6084 i could wish but its more like $3000 drop per bike...lol in fact the biggest hit i took on a bike was a new triumph scramber 900....$5000 drop in 3 weeks. but either way compared to my buying cars days some of those hits were very hard to take. but you do get over it and...next..lol

Some owners local to me, have put bar risers that move the bars up and back to take the strain off of your back.
a good idea there.

@@ridewithwarro thank you.
Price is $4000 USD.
Of course I'll try for less😂
@@joetocchio9666 so its the bullet 500 -bench seat with the curved arch rear mudguard
@@ridewithwarro looks like it. In the military green color.
I'm going by the advert. Haven't seen it in person yet.
Great looking bike. Cool you got to compare the Hunter and Classic against one another.
Thanks 👍 yeah it was interesting to do that back to back ride on both bikes. that way one gets a much better idea.

yeah i recall 3 bikes which i bought which riding position didnt agree with me. the hunter 350/ktm duke 390 and and the enfield 535gt
all the best!
So I won't be buying the hunter I've just turned 31...about a century ago unfortunately haha.. Good advice Warro.
well you could but when i do things like that...all im doing is buying a bike for some-else to get much cheaper...lol but if that hunter 350 tune was on the classic 350 -what a bike!
only issue that tune/bike wasn't out but you'd think they could easily do an ecu upgrade BUT if i was royal enfield what i could do but i won't is throw that hunter tune in the next new model classic.
that way me and many other would abort their old classic 350 and go for the new model upgrade.
not as silly as it sounds either.
the hondy cb500x had a jerky throttle from when i bought my first in 2018 till 20/21. then in 022 they addressed the throttle made it way better added new forks and threw in twin discs
so they are out there to make money ( the manufacturers)and i guess we are there to buy them.....lol
Looking forward to the new Guerilla?
could be an interesting bike thats for sure.
as i have ridden a hunter and i found it suits me at my young age of 66,now a oap in the uk,that new 450 guerilla,well i cant have both ..???? can i .???
How does it compare with the Honda GB350 (with 13t sprocket)? Cheers mate
i think it would beat the gb350 and steer and handle better too. its more an angro style of bike. but the gb350 vibe wise is a pretty smooth bike to ride and very easy to live with so thats my choice

either way the hunter is a nice bit of kit to the enfield range
I think they’re both nice bikes but I prefer the timeless looks of the Classic.
the rain has finally stopped so i'm thinking of taking my red/chrome out for a run today. been a while too. all the best!
So many J Series bikes to choose from!
no shortage of them. enfield loves them...lol
Just like riding a scooter? is that why your knees don't grip the tank and your arms are outstretched with no bend at the elbows must make it feel like your in control of a pallet truck!
figure of speech....ive only owned 60 brand new motorcycles and 10 new scooter over past 12 years....lol

Even though i support Trump, that little Hunter Biden is a cool looking bike.😁
yeah it likes to party...lol
