I'm a bit confused as to how you arrived that both bikes weigh the same. The aluminum Hunter weighs in at 13 kg. or about 28 lbs. while the Flash comes in at 11.8 kg or 25 lbs. give or take.
I like the price of the Hunter, and I was thinking that taking off the rack and fenders would trim some weight off, and that would be my "sports bike". Just a thought.
As for the Swift, I don't plan on spending much at all, though I am definitely looking upgrading the tires. Other than that, it will be mostly for running errands and things like that.
Thanks for your input.

Yet on the weight section they are both 16KG?? I was thinking for double the price you would be at least a little less on the weight. at that price might as well spend a bit more and put a giant chainring on your swift for fun then you'll be at least matching up to their gear inches. but you might have to change the tires from the standard kenda's for better efficiency.maybe some comets or marathon racers

that would be fun to make your lil bike run more efficient.
