The Scrams seat height is almost the exact same as my Shotgun. Just narrower. The tallest seat in the RE lineup is the Interceptor I believe.
All of the RE air cooled engines make noises. My 650 has that same background clatter of a solid tappet valvetrain as my Hawk, though the Hawks is a bit more noticeable. I like the noise, though I may be a bit odd.

It's just part of the old-skool bike experience. I like it too.

From the further reading i have done the Hunter is the same height again. From what i can tell from looking at the Hunter its basically a scrambler style bike as well.

If you actually think about it, that may be why the RE bikes are so popular. They basically build 5 variations of the same bike, but they all 5 have a unique feel and attitude to them. Somethin for everybody, but also all the same in a way. They are starting to do the same with the 650's as the Classic 650 is coming, which is going to be based on the Shotgun 650 design with the floating single seat, but with full set of classic fenders, a traditional teardrop tank, and spoked wheels. Sort of a mashup of the Shotgun and Super Meteor mixed with elements from the Classic 350 to round out the look.

What made me think the Hunter was just a smaller version of the Scram was the fact it has the same style Skid plate.

The Hunter is more or less a road going Scram if you want to look at it that way. The frames are from different base bikes, but they definitely have a similar look and feel to them.
