Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 First Impressions Test Ride Review

I've finally got a chance to ride the newest Royal Enfield on the block, the Super Meteor 650.
The latest bike to land out of the Indian giant, the Super Meteor 650 sets a new standard for the Royal Enfield brand as it dips its toe into the cruiser market.

I was quite sad to see it go to be sure

Um I don't think this bike is all about LAMs or any other Royal Enfield bikes.
These are bikes capable of that LAMs market but more importantly they are all a riders bike.
Big and power isn't always about better. Particularly for Royal Enfield riders, return to ride, or riding your whole life, Royal Enfield manufacturers bikes that embrace the spirit of riding. Embraced around the world where bikes are about the experience and not the size capacity of the engine.
Royal Enfield is inclusive to those who get what they do.

I think a 900 would be perfect. Don't get me wrong I love the 650 and the old school style of the ride,but with a few more horses I think she would be perfect.These bikes have always been just beautiful,but you don't see too many of these here in Texas. They are few and far between.Your right,most people can't drive for shit! Great video man!

Thanks, Steven! Yeah I imagine in Texas the extra power would make life on the interstate/highway easier. Here in NZ our top speed limit is 110kph (68mph) so the power is OK for our market. It just got picked up by the distributor and I've gotta say, I'm gonna miss the sight of it in my driveway.

Is it comfortable for the passenger;

[@OnThrottle]

Looks to be ok. Decent sized seat and those grab handles. I don’t have a passenger to test it properly unfortunately.

the one piece touring seat with back rest would be better for passenger comfort.
