Motorcycle.com reviews the new Royal Enfield Hunter 350. It looks like a decent bike that will get you around town and elsewhere at a very reasonable price. It might make a good cheap backup bike for your BMW. : https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/manufac...t-ride-44583712

the various 350cc bikes from RE are getting a head of steam over here, either as second bikes or those who have given up big bikes and/or longer touring.

a similar thing is happening in Italy with Chinese made Benellis

Sounds great until you realize the bike is very limited in terms of performance, comfort ...
Even for a city commute you're gonna need a reason to get on the thing in preference to a twist-and-go.
On the open road you'll find overtaking difficult.
What you really want is a Ducati Supersport 950S

You're right I need to start pretending to be young. Tattoos and a big bushy beard (dyed of course).

The 400-lb weight baffles me. Japanese bikes at a similar power level are in the 300~330-lb range.

Of course, the engine cases are relatively massive in comparison.

The Hunter likely uses real steel in its chassis, wheels and many other parts. RE was most likely more concerned about building to a price and easy manufacturing rather than keeping the bike's weight down.
