If straight-line speed is your priority, the Hunter 350 takes the lead. With 3 HP more than the W230 ABS, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the W230 ABS has a clear advantage. Weighing in 38kg less than the Hunter 350, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the W230 ABS. Its seat height is 45mm lower than the Hunter 350, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the w230 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the hunter-350 if you want the alternative brand character.
