Both motorcycles share the same 350cc engine, but the Hunter 350 is aimed at a younger audience, whereas the Classic 350 targets a more mature one.
I commute 45 minutes daily on bad roads. I am 5’7” tall, so I am not sure if I can manage an ADV bike. Please suggest a bike that does not have a tall seat height but can absorb the bad roads. High-speed performance or touring capability is not important. My budget is up to Rs 2.5 lakh.

Autocar India says: Since you haven’t specified what your performance and fuel efficiency requirements are, we will assume that you’re not after any one particular kind of bike. ADV bikes are the very best options for good road comfort, and we still suggest that you try out the likes of the new Hero Xpulse 210 or even the updated Yezdi Adventure. If you find that they are too tall for you, then we would suggest you try out either the Royal Enfield Classic 350 or Bullet 350.
Both bikes are very similar in looks and have only minor differences in the riding position.
However, these two RE 350cc bikes have excellent suspension comfort and a very well-judged riding position. On that note, we’d suggest you avoid the RE Meteor 350, as its feet-forward riding position is hard on the back over broken roads. You can also look at the new Hunter 350, which we reviewed recentlyif you want something smaller and more manageable, although it is not as comfortable as the Classic or Bullet.
