The Bullet is just the untouched classic version of it while the Hunter has a more modern design and feel to it. Both of those being bobber versions of the Classic 350. The Interceptor is the Sporty/Fast one, and the Shotgun is just a modern interpretation of the bullet. The Meteor 350 is just the cruiser version of the Bullet.

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.

Totally different bikes. The Scram is a Himalayan based bike, with more off-road type of suspension, geometry and travel, with the same engine. The Hunter is a street bike and was never designed for off road. There's guys on the RE forum who have done the scrambler conversion to their Hunters and they are very cool, but so far, still lacking off the pavement.

The bike comes with a GPS Tripper, stock. To me, it was a worthless gauge since I know where I'm going. It was nothing more than yet another "wrong clock".

One of the members on the RE forum is making tachs for various models that don't have them and i raised my hand to help out. Got the wiring straightened out and tach mounted. WAY more useful than that tripper.
Here's a before and after.

I saw his recent post about that tach for the SM/SG650. I was really curious about it. Is it a plug and play?

From what I gather, the SG tach is ready to go.
