QUICKSPIN I 2023 Royal Enfield Hunter 350
P102
T
he world's oldest continually operational motorcycle
company, India's Royal Enfield, is going after every
teenager with access to dad's wallet.
That might sound a bit on-the-nose but hear me out. RE
should be congratulated for this approach as they are doing it
with fun, approachable motorcycles that have a sense of style
that so many manufacturers seem absolutely tone deaf to.
Oh, and they're cheap—by modern street bike standards.
The latest machine in RE's lineup in North America is the
$3999 Hunter 350—a cute naked roadster powered by the long-
stroke 350cc, single-cylinder J-engine, pumping out a petit 20
horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque via a five-speed gearbox.
