Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs Classic 350: Which RE Should You Buy?

Two Royal Enfields on the same platform but with very different characters. The Hunter is a roadster; the Classic is a retro. Which is right for you?

The Hunter 350 and Classic 350 share the same J-platform engine and frame, but they're completely different motorcycles.

The Hunter is lighter (181 kg vs 195 kg), has 17-inch wheels, and a more upright riding position. It's the most agile Royal Enfield ever.

The Classic has 19-inch front wheel, a more relaxed riding position, and better wind protection. It's the better tourer.

Hunter 350 if: You ride mostly in the city, want agility, are a younger rider.

Classic 350 if: You do long rides, want comfort, prefer retro styling.
