Address Vs RE Huntr

I have had motorcycles all my life, since I passed my test in 1965 on a Lambretta LD150. Since then I've had Triumphs. Nortons, Hondas, Royal Enfields, a Kawasaki, and a BMW. I still have the BMW.

My main two wheeler now is my Suzuki Address 110.  Maybe it's because I have always had bigger bikes, that I keep looking at other bikes that I would like.  The Royal Enfield Hunter is the main contender.

But, I don't know why!  I keep reading glowing reports of the Hunter but when I analyse them I can't help comparing it to my wee Suzuki scooter.

• Owners say it is light.  But the Suzuki is a little over half of it's weight (98Kg vs 181Kg)

• Owners say it is frugal. But the Suzuki is even more so (110mpg vs 85mpg)

• Owners say is is most comfortable between 45, and 55mph.  This is the Suzuki's cruising speed too.

• Owner say it can manage 70mph.  OK, the Suzuki is really only good for 60mph.

• The Hunter has no luggage space as standard.  The Suzuki has a big under seat storage space, and comes with a rack which takes my 45 litre topbox (which I have had for decades). It can also carry bags on the footplate.

I live in Cornwall.  Not many roads are good for speeds over 60, and traffic mostly goes around 30-50.  Some rural roads are very narrow and have grass growing down the middle.

I don't think a Royal Enfield Huntr is going to make it into my garage.
