Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Hunter 350 - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am currently using an Ntorq 125 and planning to upgrade to a bike. My height is 168 cm. My preferences include the Bullet 350, Guerrilla 450, CB300F, and Apache RTR 310. Daily usage will be in the city, with occasional long rides. Please guide me in choosing my first bike.
I have arthritis and back pain, and work in sales, which involves long and daily rides. Which bike would be better for me: the TVS Ronin or the Royal Enfield Hunter 350?
I am a regular Autocar follower and need your guidance in choosing my next motorcycle. The bike will be used mainly for city commuting, though not in heavy bumper to bumper traffic. I have previously owned an Activa and a Honda Unicorn. I am 36 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and occasionally ride with a pillion and my children. I am not very focused on looks or features and am primarily looking for a comfortable, reliable motorcycle for long term ownership. Budget is not a constraint.
If you are open to the idea of a larger, premium machine, then bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 will be the options we recommend. If you want to instead go for a commuter bike, there are loads of great options in the 160cc space, such as the Honda Unicorn / SP160, Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Suzuki Gixxer.
Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist with a pillion to see what suits you best.
Is the CB350 H’ness a good choice for a first bike?
With its neutral ergonomics, gentle and measured power delivery, light clutch action and manageable seat height, the Honda CB350 H'ness should prove to be a great first bike for most riders.
Honda bikes also have a reputation for great reliability and low running costs, for by and large, most two-wheelers it sells in India, which should give you added peace of mind.
If you want an alternative from another brand with a similar riding experience and style, then the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 makes for a great option.
Take a thorough test ride of both before you make your decision.
I currently own a Bajaj V15 and I am planning to buy a new bike for commuting and occasional long drives. My budget is ₹2 lakh. Please suggest a bike that offers good performance, mileage, and comfort.
Since you haven't specified what displacement range or style of bike you are looking at, we'll give you multiple options to choose from.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a good option because it will be comfortable, stylish and will give you decent performance and fuel economy too. Another bike worth taking a look at is the Honda CB300F, which is a friendly naked bike that will also be comfortable and fuel-efficient. You can also take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be far the most comfortable machine of all the bikes mentioned here.
If you want to stick to the same displacement bracket, bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are the options to consider. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.
I have a Suzuki GS150R 2013 model, and I really love this bike. However, now I want to upgrade because I face spare parts shortages every time I visit the service centre. I am looking at the Honda NX200 and the TVS Ronin. My height is 5 feet 3 inches. Please suggest between these two or any other options. My daily ride is 60km, split equally between highway and city usage.
Hello experts, I'm using Activa 125 since 2021 and recently my daily commute have shifted from public transportation to my activa. For 40 km daily commute with 15 km city and rest highway, I'm looking to buy my first bike which would make this experience better. My budget is upto 2.5L.
Since you have a commute that has some highway riding, we'll recommend bikes displacing 250cc or more so you can maintain decent highway speeds without feeling the engine is strained.
There are loads of options in your price bracket, like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, TVS Ronin, Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250, Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300.
Take a test ride of all the machines you shortlist before going ahead with your purchase.
I am thinking of buying a bike with good mileage, good for city traffic, occassional long rides and comfortable seating position for pillion riders too. I am interested to opt for Yamaha XSR 155. Does that bike offers that? Or should I go for Pulsar N160 or TVS Ronin 225 or any other bike?
The Yamaha XSR155 you have shortlisted will give you everything you want aside from pillion comfort, as its seat isn't very long. This could be a subjective issue based on your size as well as your pillion's, but by and large, its pillion comfort is likely to be average, nothing to write home about.
It will be a similar story with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 too. The TVS Ronin will offer you everything you are looking for, so that is the bike we would steer you toward. If you are open to considering other machines, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be a good option too.
I have a 13-year-old Hero Extreme 150 and want to change. I’m 45 and looking at the Honda Hornet 2.0, Hero Xtreme 160 R4V, and Apache RTR 160 4V in the same segment. Pillion comfort is essential. I ride 100-150 km per week and occasionally do long drives. Which bike should I buy, and are there any other good options?
Of the three options you have shortlisted, all are practical and comfortable options which will serve you well. Since pillion comfort is a priority, try to go for a bike/variant which has a single seat. Also, take your preferred pillion with you for a two-up test ride on all the machines. This will help you gauge each bike's strengths and weaknesses for yourself.
You should also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 in the same category for its smooth engine, plush suspension and comfortable seating position.
If you are open to extending your budget by a little bit, you can also opt for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which will give you a different riding experience than these commuters but will simultaneously also be a comfortable machine.
I have been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles for years. First, I owned a Bullet Electra (2023), and then a Himalayan 411 (2020), which has crossed 45,000+ km. Lately, the Himalayan has started showing electrical issues and E20-petrol-related problems, and it has become difficult to depend on it for my daily rides. I travel at least 50km every day and occasionally do 100+ km suburban rides on weekends, so I urgently need a reliable, low-maintenance and practical motorcycle. An upright posture is a must. My budget is ₹2 lakh.
