The HNTR 350 is very different from most motorcycles on the market: 20 hp, EUR 4,590, retro-style controls, and a single-cylinder engine that sounds less like a racetrack and more like a workshop and open roads. HNTR is pronounced “Hunter.” It is Royal Enfield’s answer to a simple question: what do you buy if you want a motorcycle with character, but do not want to spend EUR 10,000 or ride every backroad at 100 km/h? That is not a tiny niche. It describes a large number of riders.

The Engine: 349 cc and the Art of Modest Enjoyment
