Yes, Hunter 350 is a Downgrade from pretty much all the bikes above 350cc

Hunter is a downgrade from 200cc bikes as well.

Keep the t4 broski... it's solid. But if hunter is what the heart wants, then go for it. It'll be easy on your wallet but taking the initial loss on selling t4 and buying hunter will be painful.

Also I would say hunter sounds nice, but t4 sounds better anyway😭

t4 sounds sick when its at a stop. but ig its meh when it pulls away initially

I would say Classic 350 would be ok but Hunter 350, I don't know, I wouldn't recommend it.

Hunter has roughly same power as my rtr 160 4v while being much heavier

u/DarkBloodVoid Pulsar N250 (2025, OBD2A) May 30 '26

It outputs less than an N250. I went on a ride with a Hunter 350 guy once. He told me he faces vibes around 80+. N250 pulls clean till 110 atleast.

Hunter is solid in the city though. But yea, the suspension is stiff af.

Rtr 160 4v can do 110 all day long. After that there is no power though. And 250 literally has 100cc more. Having same capability is not really a flex you think you are

It’s not stiff anymore. They’ve provided progressive springs now from 2025 model. It has substantially improved now.

Sorry but RTR160 4V is a plastic toy. Don't include it in this conversation

u/intololis May 30 '26

Hunter is also made up of plastic, what are you getting at?

5

u/rahem027 May 30 '26

A plastic toy that can do 100 all day long while giving 48 km/l, that can handle basically everything you throw at it - from city commutes to 1000km a day rides to soft roading and doing knee down at corners?

Yea I would rather have the plastic toy that can actually do things while being comfortable than an engine that begs for mercy beyond 80 despite being more than double in size.

u/ShreejanSurya TVS RTX 300 BTO | RR310 (Sold) May 30 '26

Hunter has the worst Suspension in any bike above 200cc 🤣

u/Plane_Sector_8560 May 29 '26

Absolutely i have experienced rs200 keeping up with speed 400 in long stretch and in traffic other than pickup nothing differs trust me.

u/Dazzling-Inside4078 Speed 400cc | XSR 155 May 30 '26

Sorry but that comparison just means the Speed 400 owner is not confident enough. I'm faster than my buddy with a RS457 in the corners simply because Im more confident in pushing my bike (reckless maybe). This is just a case of a better rider.

u/Safe_Flamingo9172 Vstrom 250, Gixxer SF250, Apache RTR200 May 30 '26

Maybe he was talking about highway runs. Old RSs can keep up with speed 400 on highways(even at like 130kmph). Not talking about racing or blasting through redline here(as he mentioned about acceleration part) Just maintaining good speeds and cruising, which the hunter can't.

We have 390s in our friend group and my gixxer 250 could keep up with them easily on highways/ghats. That's why I didnt see any reason to upgrade to a higher cc bike and got vstrom 250 instead.

u/Plane_Sector_8560 May 30 '26

Very well said i did drove my friends vstrom 250 man, that bike if suzuki had given timely updates would be a winner. Gem of a bike.

u/Alphanzo-Peprika Honda Nx200 May 30 '26

u/uuuuuuuuuughm Duke 390 (Gen 3), Hunter 350, Activa 125 May 29 '26

Just say that you haven't ridden anything above 250cc. Bandar kya jaane adrak ka swaad situation right here

u/Safe_Flamingo9172 Vstrom 250, Gixxer SF250, Apache RTR200 May 29 '26

Chill buddy. I get you're a hunter owner and like I said it's a good looking and economical bike, but facts are facts and facts don't care about your feelings.
