So picked up my Hunter today and did close on 60 miles on it , a trip to the Old Smithy Tearooms at Monyash needless to say it’s been cleaned and now tucked up , first impressions , Brilliant bike plenty of low down torque for a 350 , very comfortable I was riding steady for 2 hours no problem and to me looks great , very chuffed 😀

I've managed to get back on my Interceptor this week so I'm hoping I'll be ok on it for a bit longer but the Hunter's staying on my wish list. Recognised that picture straight away, was a regular stop off for us on our Derbyshire trips before the border closures - maybe this year......... |

Glad you're happy with it Paul  . Got out on mine for some more running in miles today , then back home for an overdue wash . Pleased with how it cleaned up considering how it was covered in winter road filth . 
The only thing I don't like as standard was the gearchange rod , so I made a new one with balljoints from ebay .

As I said ,within the week .The Enfield has landed   She's a beauty needs a wash though as the premier bikes guy at Doncaster just moved it on just as he received it .It came this morning and I've only moved it down the path but the torque is instantly noticeable what a smashing little engine |

So I’ve now put 233 miles on the Hunter and I’m impressed with it , very comfy and low seat height and as I’m a massive 5’5” tall I can get both feet on the tarmac , bike rides very well , really really like this bike , 1st service this Wednesday  |

Well the RE dealer over here, Paul Dedman Performance, has finally got a couple of Hunters in. I've had another health set back so the Interceptor's weight has become a bit more of an issue, so we went up to have a look at the Hunter in the flesh today. Looked even better than I expected. No demo model available yet, but at least I could sit on it & it felt great.  The Interceptor's up for sale, just got to wait till I can have a test ride |

Already done a deal on the Hunter , I'm doing an exchange for my Interceptor. I just have to make my mind up over the weekend which colour to go for as he's putting an order in when he re-opens tomorrow. The UK distributer has 4 colours in stock, which he should be able to get over here in 10 - 14 days: Rebel Black, Rebel Blue, Dapper Ash & Dapper White. We'll see what happens tomorrow |

Sorry to hear your health isn’t great Ian, also that the interceptor is going I love mine. However I am a great admirer of the hunter and it will be more practical for you. Look forward to seeing you on your new bike 👍
