Can we go on a long drive in Hunter 350?

Yes of course! The new J-platform engine is super-refined, and is a considerable jump from the older UCEs in terms of smoothness. That said, as long as you’re cruising at around 90kmph, the Hunter will keep chugging along without complaints. Cruising at 100kmph is also possible but there will be minor vibes, particularly on the handlebar and on the footpegs. Moreover, the Hunter 350 comes with an optional Tripper Pod (for navigation) which is very useful during long tours. 

Royal Enfield also offers many accessories for the Hunter 350, like a more comfortable bench seat, cushioned pillion backrest, touring flyscreen, luggage pannier, engine guard and sump guard. All these, along with Royal Enfield’s range of riding gear, is exactly what you will need for going touring on the Hunter 350.
