Conclusion - what's stuck?
The R nineT is not only fun to drive, but also looks great! And it is probably this combination that makes the bike so desirable for motorcycle fans worldwide right from the start.
BMW describes it as follows: "Design your motorcycle, design your life." It also has a lot to do with lifestyle and so the nineT leaves hardly any customizer wishes unfulfilled in terms of diversity. It is the basis for deep individualizations, which sets the machine apart from the competition. In addition to the already diverse model and design variants, there are plenty of Customizing accessories, so everyone can make their own roadster dream come true. Even the on-board electronics are designed with numerous interfaces in such a way that changes do not represent a major hurdle.
Even if the NineT is purist in almost all respects, it does not do so in terms of price. Not at all when you make the most of the numerous possibilities for change to realize your own exclusive dream bike. But individuality always has your price. However, the success proves BMW right again in this case, because the BMW R NineT is so popular that one should expect extremely long delivery times.
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.
