Hey guys,
Just jumped aboard and checking out my first few hunter bikes in Tuesday in Melbourne, currently tossing up between the bobber or Spyder.
Just wondering for anyone with a bobber what the fuel economy is like? I know the spyder has a much bigger tank and I would use it for long distances rather often but really like the look of the bobber.
Just after some opinions from people who own either model and what your personal pros and cons are?
So excited to have come across this Brand ( was about to buy a harley street 500 until I found hunter)
Thanks in advance guys.

He is from Melbourne. Says it in his post.
If you like the bobber you can always purchase a bigger tank and get it put on. The guys from the dealership in Melbourne would be happy to do it for you. These bikes are great on fuel. I also have a spyder and I get around 350km to a tank for about 10-15 dollars.

Yeah I just cruise around. No need to thrash it. If I wanted to go really fast I would have bought a 650 ninja or something like that.

I have a 350 Bobber. I fill it up every 100Km's and usually have gone through about 4 liters in that time (mainly commuting to work). It's an 8 liter tank I think so you could maybe squeak 200km out of it ... but I wouldn't try your luck.

Ask them about putting a bigger tank on the bobber. They will have a solution for you and won't be too expensive either!

I have a few things I want to do and from the communication between hunter motorcycles and I, I must say I'm excited!! So far answering my questions has been swift and most helpful! Being a state manager for a customer service/retail chain it's something I take a lot of notice of and its made me that much excited for it all. I've also spoken to the guys at high octane and they seem great!
