2021 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Review! The Perfect A2 Compatible Bike for UK Roads?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- In this video I ride the new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and tell you exactly what to expect when buying this A2 Compliant motorcycle. I go into how the bike handles, how fast it is, and all the essential features you need to know.
This motorbike would be perfect for a beginner rider or maybe someone who's a bit older who wants a second bike for a Sunday ride or for commuting, or even someone who wants to downsize to something light and nimble for a more gentle riding style.

dealer has ordered me one in the same brown colour.i am 72 had many big bikes over the years ,but am looking forward to it coming.
Fantastic my friend! 💯
You are a badass sir
this is underrated motorcycle. even though its a cruiser it handled well in the himalayas! me and wife, each rode out meteor into ladakh valley especially zanskar braving steep inclines/muddy/rocky jeep trails. it can take a lot of abuse too.
Yes I agree 💯
Hi friend, is it good in mountain roads and hills? Thakyou.
@@simodakir5990 yes i have taken it to high passes of himalayas. 16000+ feet high ones. and some challenging gradient roads with full luggage
@@SanketKambli thanks a lot i have ordered one yesterday. I will get it next week . Great bike . Thanks a lot.
Just cleared 1,000 miles on mine, I have the exact same bike. The sweet spot is 45-55 MPH, but you can easily cruise at 65 MPH on the highway (no vibrations).
Also, I’m 6’3 200 lbs and have been very comfortable (I have a 34 inch inseam).
This bike is just FUN and looks fantastic
picked up one the same colour 1 week ago love it. had many big bikes over the years ,now 72. just perfect.
Excellent! Enjoy the ride 👍🏼👍🏼
I think a Royal Enfield Meteor 20hp, 27nm, 350cc and some back roads would suit me perfectly! It looks fantastic!!! And the sound is also great!
It's a bike for now. I'm 66 and have always had monster cruisers. I would like one of these now.
Yes a smaller cc bike can make for a very enjoyable, stress free ride
@@MrDarcy-OlMan and ownership with the price of tyres. Good luck guys, thanks for your reply. 🇦🇺🇬🇧❄️
I have spoken to 2 owners in there late 60s early 70 s ...they absolutely love these bike s they are great for riders who have been there done that and just want an enjoyable ride ..no vibration to speak of and comfy ...great price with great breakdown cover as standard ...you can go anywhere with them !
@@willyrackham2957 absolutely would agree with that 👍🏼
@@willyrackham2957 👍
The 650cc Meteor will be called Super Meteor and will be displayed at the EICMA show in Italy at the end of November.
Awesome! 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I hope it will be worth all this hype ☺️
Yes 🤞🏼
You and your dad are a great one two punch. Your channel reviews continue to move the bar up.
Thank you, glad you think so!
Nice that someone stopped to check you were ok.
Yes definitely 👍🏼👍🏼
What an apocalyptically gorgeous location to shoot a review! As a meteor owner myself, I would love to ride those country roads! I loved the weather as well.
Ordered a meteor back in mid august - still waiting for it ! but i have been told the wait is worth it !
Awesome! Hopefully it will come soon 👍🏼
I own one of these in Fireball Red and I love it. It's the bike I've been looking for for years. A couple of comments; the 387 miles that you thought was how far you could get with the petrol in the tank is in fact how many miles the bike has done in total. The ODO you can see on the display stands for odometer. The 101mpg figure is, in my experience, only possible at 40mph, as I found during the initial stage of running in (300miles @40mph). When I reached the second stage (1200miles @ 50mph), the mpg dropped to 87.
Nevertheless, it's a great, relaxing bike to ride.
Nice that the car driver checked you were OK 👍🏻
Miss the classic 500 👊🏻
Yes he was very considerate. A quality that is hard to find these days 💯 We’re on the list for the new Classic!
I got a 2017 black classic chrome 500 and it is a beauty. A good 50 to 55 mph. The new classic should be a beauty too and a better bike.
@@flatcapcaferacer ❤️❤️❤️
Yes awesome 💯
I had the chance to ride one on a demo day here in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Like you said, 70 may be listed, but good luck getting there. I would definitely say for around town or an evening country cruiser full marks. Beyond that, the damn thing is just FUN !!!
That’s exactly it, not about going fast just about having fun!
I have no bother getting to 70 and because it's restricted to around 75, it's not revving hard at that speed and you can cruise at uk limit easily. Long inclines might bring you below occasionally but otherwise I never feel short of power.
I have bought one last month, my freinds asked me,, when its availlable to buy it, never...THIS BIKE IS PERFECT CRUISER
.
Great video!!! I really had never noticed this bike; until now. I love the dials, much nicer than those horrible digital screens. I’m going to watch it again now 🤔
I love the dials too
This is yet another cracking, handsome bike from Royal Enfield. Thanks for your review!
I really don’t like cruisers, but from the large tank size, claimed 100mpg, and matte-black engine and exhaust- I’m seriously considering getting this over the Classic as the more-economical option!
Thanks for the review. In the States here, looking at this or the 650 interceptor. I've got a 30+ year old Harley, and would like something I don't have to wrench on constantly before each ride, and have no interest in Japanese bikes anymore. Got that out of my system back in the eighties.
Awesome buddy, if you want something that still has plenty of guts for the real road then the interceptor would be a great choice. You want want something to pootle around on then the meteor or classic 350 would be a good choice.
Good to hear more RE bike reviews on the way.
Can't argue with the Meteor price although a little more ooomph would be nice. 👍
Yes it’s great value for money, I agree!
Strong rumours of new versions of both the meteor (possibly called the hummingbird or shotgun?) and Himalayan with the 650 interceptor engine, in 2022/3. As a one time owner of a Yam xs650 twin, way back in the last millennium, sounds very promising and a bit more realistic for an all around single bike.
@@Turnbull62 yes and now we are poised to get our hands on any new ones! 🙏
A cool review indeed 👍 - I‘ll get My Meteor this week 😎 (and will certainly keep my Classic 500). I‘m excited 😊
Thanks buddy! Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Darcy, great job! I think you gave a very balanced and honest review. You also provided that bike a fair chance for someone who might be entry level into riding. From a production viewpoint, I particularly enjoyed the passerby chat and the horse! Please keep up the good work!
Thank you buddy, much appreciated!
The boys are back! Top notch work
Thank you!
Nice review and definitely considering this motorbike after I get my A2 license.
Good catch on recognising the turn by turn navigation screen. I nearly laughed out loud when you first mentioned that the clock on the dash was designed by Google! 😉
Thanks buddy! 👍🏼👍🏼
Was going to comment this lol
Really lovely classic looking bike and very good video. I’m a Ducati rider but still love this machine!
Yes it’s a great little bike 👌🏼
Hi Mr Darcy, Good review. Saddened that you could not get a bike from RE until now, but I did offer you to test mine, as one of the first on the road in the UK. The Meteor is (according to MCN) the best selling retro in the UK. I believe that the top speed is electronically limited, but I could be wrong. I bought 3 motorcycles during lockdown and all were very fast, certainly compared to the Meteor. However, riding the Meteor around the Hertfordshire roads, it's an absolute peach! As you mentioned, it gives a lot of miles per gallon, but it provides hundreds of smiles per mile!
You didn't look too big at all for it which pleases me as I'm also 6' 1" :)
Whilst I was editing it I realised it didn’t look small at all, you’d be fine on it!
I bought fireball
It is beautiful bike and great bike for cruising.
Sit start and enjoy
Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Good Review. It's rare just you presenting solo, hope your dad is well and back soon!
He now lives in wales and I am in Rutland so we can only present occasionally together now
Yeah as an ex Reddich built RE 350 Bullet owner (way back in the day) I'm interested in this bike and I like it a lot, I've heard that they can be tuned too. Thanks for another great review
Thanks buddy, defo worth a try!
Well, thanks for that, Mr. Darcy. You just cost me a lot of money. Of course i had to buy this beautiful bike. A supernova brown. I am 64 years old, and it's time to get back in the saddle. Just waiting for the spring, here in Norway.
Ahh awesome! A fine choice 👌🏼💯
Maybe the biggest rival of this bike is within it's own brand.
The Himalayan does the same but also offers some off road possibilities.
Yes good point. We’re reviewing the Himalayan again soon too 👍🏼
Meteor 650 coming in a few months.
Can’t wait 👍🏼
Not meteor it's super meteor...
This bike is so good for its price,nothing to compare it with.
Very good review,thanks👍
Thanks, yes the value for money is remarkable.
Nice review, and nice bike! Solid proposal by Royal Enfield. That stock navigator brings value to the bike. There are many models out there that cost twice this bike and don't even offer the nav as an option.
It is remarkable really, very good value for money
Another good review. Looks like a fun little bike, but not so much for me. Getting a Thruxton RS in a couple of months. I like how you guys put reviews together that are real world based. Always from the perspective of the real life experience of the bike. Who really cares about numbers and specs? I care about the sensation of riding, the personality of a bike. You guys don't lose your way in your reviews.
Glad you think so, that’s what we try to convey. Anyone can read the specs from the website!
A2 compliant, as are every bike in the Royal Enfield range, a purposeful marketing point I'd say 😉
Certainly!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan and not a bad idea at that 👍🏻
Nice one Darcy. Good to see you. It’s another winner from the RE team 👏
It certainly is, cheers buddy
looking for reviews on this, spent 5 mins finding your one to watch first!
ah fack where's the ol' man!? lol
what a friendly chap that came by to see if you were alright!
Thanks buddy. It’s a fabulous bike! 👍🏼👍🏼
Good review,no bullshit 👍 regards from India
Thank you!
Great looking bike,classic looks and sound decent,cheap a chip and economical what’s not to like,once again Royal Enfield has got a winner.great video Darcy.👍🏻
Right on! Thanks buddy!
Fantastic work bud all ways very enjoyable
Great looking bike, and very well specced for the price. Would be perfect for commuting and occasional weekend blasts. I think it'll be a huge seller.
Absolutely 💯
It already is! 🤣
I'm hoping this is the sort of bike that will bring a lot of new young riders into motorcycling. Sure looks sweet.
I hope so too!
Good in depth review in pleasant countryside . As you say a good learners bike.
Thanks buddy, for sure!
Excellent review. It will be interesting to see what reviewers make of the new 350 Classic when it comes to the UK.
I wonder why they are not fitting the Meteor tank to the Classic. The extra capacity could come in handy.
My gripe remains the 250 miles to my nearest dealer. Not much point in having a 3 year warranty the dealer is so far away.
Same with me. It's almost 300 miles to the closest dealership.
Thanks buddy. Interesting points. 🤔
👍🏼🤔
Great looking bike that. Well done RE
Very good looking
Great review. I'm a big fan of RE and look forward to seeing more reviews.
So are we, we can’t wait!
Yes it's only a 350,but at my mid 60s it's light enough and fast enough for me and I can pick it up if it falls over! And the sound is so good i can just sit and listen to it 😊
Another excellent review. Well done from down under 👍🇦🇺
Thank you very much!
I liked my Grom, but it was too slow for my local traffic. I like the classic retro look. I just can’t decide between the Meteor or the Himalayan.
Two very different bikes, depends what you want it for really?
Depends how tall you are as they are quite tiny…at 6’4” I chose the Himi…
I had also a Grom - it was an absolute blast but as you said, not enough for serious traffic. So I sold it, still missing it a bit, though.
Now I am also interested in the Meteor but a bit unsure about it being good for taller riders like me. From what I saw on UA-cam, people rated the Meteor so far better than they did with the Himalayan. There are also some negative feedbacks on the Himalayan. I also prefer the Meteor by the looks. Will need to check both out in real at a dealer.
@@krasky I bought a 2021 Himalayan about two weeks ago. I chose it over the Meteor because of slightly higher horsepower, I preferred the looks, and the abundance of positive reviews. The Meteor looked a little bit “fat” in person and was only about 17 pounds lighter than the Himalayan (depending upon who’s specs you use). I only have 160 miles on the Himalayan so far, but I am disappointed. The bike is very cold blooded and stalls several times until warm, despite being fuel injected. None of my other fuel injected bikes have had starting or cold running issues. The bike idles at about 2300 rpm (the dealer said the would address that at the 300 mile service. I’m hoping that after the break in period things will improve. I’m surprised at my problems because none of the multiple reviews I watched mentioned any problems. Also, the switchgear/controls arre cheap. I realize it is an inexpensive bike and they have to cut costs somewhere. The fuel injection issue bothers me most. You have to reomve the tank to adjust the idle speed. Also, on page 3 of the owner’s manual it states that you should only use plain water to wash the Himalayan. Using cleaning agents may cause “discoloration “. Again, I’m hoping that things will improve as the miles increase. This is my first brand new bike in over 20 years.
@@jeffreyhurst9552 just ordered a yellow Fireball after a short ride on a red Fireball. I was amazed by the seating position. It felt straight like home. So comfortable, even with my 6.1 (185cm). On most Japanese bikes I felt cramped.
Build quality seemed pretty good and sound was so smooth and sonorous - uff.
I hope it will also proof its quality long term. But first it’s just about 4.000€ and second it has 3 years warranty.
After having several bikes in the past which didn’t make me looking back on them and falling in love, I tried to achieve this time without going to much by facts/specs and deciding with the head. So this Meteor is a pure „guts decision“.
Already booked mine here in India , looking forward for the delivery by December end 🔥❤️
Excellent! 💯👍🏼
Great review 👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Nicely done! Good honest review. Keep up the goo work!
Price is 125 money,thats a proper bargain👍
Great review guys 👍 ... no nonsense, nicely filmed 😎👍... I tried a meteor earlier in the year and I was bowled over by its easy, chilled personality. Just waiting to try the new 350 Classic 👍
Thanks buddy. Yes indeed! We’re looking forward to seeing it too 💯
Royal Enfield has become a great brand again and great designs.
I prefer the cheaper version with no seat back and no windshield.
It is very popular in India but has competition from the Honda CB350 Royal Highness that I would opt for if it was available in the UK.
Yes they’re making some great bikes, I prefer the ones without the screen too.
Yes that’s the point Honda do nothing like it for the UK market, and if they did how much would it cost? not everyone wants a plastic futuristic super bike. I’ve loved Honda products in the past, but now own a Meteor, I’m loving it and it suits my 73 year old temperament perfectly.
A beautiful motorcycle, classic looks and nice quality, on first glance. But clearly under-powered for the open road, limited for city roads and village life.
I wouldn't mind to have one as a second ride, but we have an expensive compulsory insurance, per motorcycle, so no luck.
Yes indeed. It’s definitely a nice little town or countryside ride or commuter but not for long motorway rides. Insurance is a terrible thing
Had mine since July and once fully run in its capable of A road, Dual Carriageway and Motorwar riding. Did 40 miles on the motorway at 65 - 70 mph and it felt fine. Yes, it was buzzing at 70mph but by no means going flat out, also very smooth at these speeds. Ignore the figures, you need to ride one to appreciate its virtues and capability.👍
@@jonathandeeley6276 I had some limited experience riding a Suzuki DR250, circa 1989, with about the same power as the Enfield, and it was borderline suicide on the highways. I have a DR350 with 30 hp, and still, the open road feels like an elaborate punishment, I draw the line on 50 hp for such use.
Yes, the motorcycle is capable, like my old kawa is capable of about 120 mph, but is it safe? When you have a halfwit truck driver on your tail, close enough to read the small print on the back of your helmet, can you evade his unwanted attention? Even a small car, hanging five feet behind you, puts you in a grave danger, and you can't add some throttle to pull away. Situations like this happen with big and powerful motorcycles, but the under-powered ones have it to extreme.
Use the motorcycle as intended, even if it has some capability, it's like going off-road, the Enfield will take it, but eventually it will be damaged and the rider can be hurt.
It is a good looking bike hopefully they will release a 650 version of this 😛
Nice review as usual 👌
A 650 version would be awesome! Thanks
As your wish, so may it be, welcome to the 650 Super meteor coming 22 😉
My dream was thunderbird when i was in college but due to increase in petrol prices in India... i am not sure i will get it now but it is my dream still.. i will ride one sometime.. nice bike
Awesome! Yes petrol is getting very expensive here too!
If you can afford RE you can buy petrol too... otherwise get a 100 cc moped
@@DHS562 oh you are an eye opener thank you
Thank you for the review... I think it is a lovely motorcycle and great value for your money... I am interested to see the other Royal Enfield motorcycle range.
Keep well bye Stuart 😊
It’s great value for money, many more of the range to come!
You won't get 387 miles from 3/4 of a tank if it holds 15 litres and does 101 MPG. Think that was the ODO reading you were looking at. Otherwise nice review of a good bike. I'm looking forward to the Classic 350 arrival.
I’m looking forward to that too, perhaps I was misreading it then 🤔
Good review, well done.
Hopefully you'll review the new Royal Enfield classic 350 when it comes in the spring.
Thanks bud. Yes most definitely 👍🏼
Like to know what the ole man would think about it . I like it
I think it would be a bit too small for him, we’ll have to try and get him to ride one at some point 👍🏻
Looks better in the classic 350 livery. Except for a very few changes it’s the same platform but with the classic style. For me personally. I tried to like the meteor but got bored with the style after a bit.
Ahh ok. Yes hopefully we will be reviewing the Classic soon!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan after riding both I think I like the blue supernova the best and especially for my crumbling spine issues my only real complain is that sorry ass windshield mount it’s absolutely crap but that’s what aftermarket is for. Maybe in the spring if all goes well I need a new bike I’ve plenty of old Asian boat anchors to ride I need a lightweight ride
Love mine. 375 miles and got it 7/5. Not fast but i really don't care
Excellent! Yes it doesn’t need to be fast to be fun 💯
@@MrDarcy-OlMan so true. Now to install a rack. What do you suggest? Enfield does not list the part. I think i saw one video where you did an installation! Thank you for all information
@@stephenfricke9298 not sure tbh. Try TEC bike parts. They have a UA-cam channel
Love your videos! What's it like having a dad who looks like Zeus?
Thanks buddy, pretty cool I think!
natural brown Meteor with a purple seat at 11:01
The best cruise bike under 5000. Will match any bike.
Useful review, and useful motorbike.
Thanks, certainly is!
I do love these modern classics . I love the Triumphs all that is needed now is Norton to bring out their commando. I would have my garage full of HD's and Triumphs and royal enfields all day long....Can i ask ...Are Triumph still doing the Thunderbird?
Yes agreed. No they don’t currently. I have no idea if they plan to 🤔
Looks lovely, already owning a lower CC bike I will wait to see if they make the 650 version of this bike.
Yes fingers crossed 👍🏼👍🏼
Tis coming. Will have the 650 twin. There's already leaked pictures from India where its expected either later this year or next 👍
Great review. Seems a good value bike too.
Thanks, it certainly is!
Could I suggest a comparison in performance with a MAC Velocette. My 1954 is 160 kg and has the same top end. Very pleasant to drive around town and on long trips at 55-60 mph. If you try the sports version, the Viper, still at 350cc is a very high performance sports bike using the same frame, forks. It would be interesting on your comments on the changes in technology in the last 70 years and road tests.
Yes it would certainly be interesting 🤔👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent review, glad to see you enjoyed a lesser cc bike, top job👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼 It was superb
Even though my previous comments with regards to comparison 1988 XBR 500 were a little dramatic and duly corrected by the narrator
It still does not answer why this bike is so asthmatic in its performance . The engine. " Suck wheeze bang fart " is so heavily controlled by its euro 5 compliance that in my opinion this engine as a 350 j platform is easily able to reach 70- 80 mph . With comfort. Yet a performance cam is still not available of course other modifications are necessary. The XBR 500 could do 100 mph plus 27 hp in comparison to the Himalayan 24 hp cannot hold 70 on a slight incline.The deception is the torque curve engine management system..
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head - regulations. To get through them bikes are stifled. It’s also only meant to be a gentle ride and easy for less experienced riders
Sadly I agree, has Zen " and the art " left town ?
I have a Honda cb125f (2016) as a commuter. It was anything but fast until I put a new exhaust on it, thus removing the cat. The bike was transformed. It became eager to accelerate and, quite remarkably, the MPG went up! I would imagine that the same would happen with this little 350. I'm tempted to try one out in the new year, with a serious view to buying.
You’re right. Remember the Kawasaki Z200?
Thanks folks, great vid! Looks like I'll be down to the dealership the minute I get my licence.
Thanks buddy. Sounds like a good plan 👍🏼👍🏼
Good solo review Darcy👍
Cheers buddy!
Nice bike for ..go camping...do France on the secondary roads...
Yes absolutely 👍🏼
Are you sure you live in UK?? The landscape looks bit odd.. I didn't expected this kind of Landscape in UK which looks like Rural India near Himalayas.. 🥲😅
Really! Great 💯
No, buddy. I'm from India. And it's not india.
Seriously? I am from india, you have no idea how rural india is. Most of india rural areas are dirty filthy stinky. Only some coastal areas in Southern India are very clean, culturally rich & beatiful. I belong to one such place in India.
@@alexdcruz7317 😆😆 hahahah, shut your mouth & clean your eyes....
I'm from most rural area of india in north east himalayan range.
Where are you from ?
I think rural area of paxtan. 😆😆
They might have taken back the landscape too when they left in 1947 😂
191 kg actually seems quite heavy for a small bike? That's only 11 kg less than RE are claiming for the Interceptor. The Honda cb250, which probably caters for a similar market and with similar power from its parallel twin weighs only 132 kg. Where's the meteor picking up another 60kg? Don't get me wrong, I'd still pick a meteor over the Honda for character reasons, but I definitely wouldn't call it light weight for its class. If I were going to buy a single cylinder RE I'd go the new Classic 350 as I much prefer it's styling, but I'm a happy interceptor owner for now.
Yes good point actually 🤔👍🏼
its not in the same class as the cb250... but instead on the honda 350 highness class.. less power, more torque, old school style, more metal and bigger in size too.. if you ever sit on one you immediatly understand why its heavy, its almost as big as a sportster.
The frame is designed for the Indian Market, payload wise this thing can carry an entire family and their luggage...
If I squint my eyes hard enough, I see a Harley Davidson.
There’s certainly some similarities 👍🏼👍🏼
I have to disagree, the meteor isn’t covered in crap pointless chrome and there isn’t a fat bastard in gay leathers riding it in this review !!!
Squeeze it harder and every bicycle will look like an Harley.
@@rejuvenatingsoul3498 I could just shut my eyes.
Very short 1st gear but I love mine
Im a newbie bike rider. No experience except what I learned in my motorcycle class In California USA.
Any recommendation on a motorcycle?
Is 350cc fine?
I like the Interceptor 650 also. Lol.
350cc meteor or classic would be a good start, bombproof and very easy to ride. Interceptor would also be a good first bike. Depends how confident you are, but the interceptor still isn’t too powerful.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I appreciate the response!
As far as confidence. I'd say fair. I am between the 2. But see that I can still grow into the Interceptor.
Thanks from Sunny California!!!
check out the scram 450
Here in Austria (Germany the same) all the 350s from RE are unfortunately unusable for education. Because all A2-Bikes must have min. 250 cc (check) and min 20KW (nope).
That's sad, but true. My Students would appreciate the fabulous handling of the Meteor.
Yes that is one massive flaw of the laws. Same here I believe.
Think this would have been my perfect first bike as bit more oompf than my 125. Could have kept it for years...oh well.
Great stuff👍
Yes it makes an ideal first bike 💯
Maybe it does 350 km, but 350 miles is heaps! Nevertheless, it's a cool bike, I got to see it in person and it looks much better than online. Pretty comfortable to sit on, at my mighty 5foot7. Better than a 250cc alternatives. The dealer mentioned that RE might make 650 version of this.... Now that could be a perfect bike for anything you throw at it, eh?
Yes I may have read the range wrong 🤔a 650 version would be awesome!
All your reviews are excellent. If you had to pick (as I do) between the classic 350 and the meteor, which would you pick and why? I like the looks of the Classic 350 much more, but from others I've heard speak on the comparison, it seems that they've favored the handling characteristics of the meteor. Any insight you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks from just a wee 50 miles south of Boston, Massachusetts.
We’d go for the Classic. Both bikes are mechanically very similar but the looks of the Classic are spot on 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks very much. That settles it for me. The Classic is just that, a classic, and it’s just a gorgeous bike.
Well, I grew up in Mansfield, MA, about 30 miles or so south of Boston and now live in FL. What I can tell you is that I went into my RE dealer here fulling intending to purchase a Classic 350 (I used to own a Classic 500). However, after sitting and checking both out, I went for the Meteor and it wasn't close. I surprised myself! You cannot go wrong with either one!
@@chuckvt5196 awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m actually looking forward to the new Bullet 350 coming here next year as a prefer the styling. It’s the perfect commuter for my needs as the highest permitted top speed during my 16 mile trip is 60mph. I am concerned about the service intervals which are 5000 kilometres or 6 months! in India but 1year or 10,000 kilometres in the UK. I just don’t understand the difference so I’m not feeling very confident.
I believe that royal Enfield make a more basic version for the Indian market.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I’m trying to find some information about that. From Indian websites it seems that the basic engine components are the same as well is the warranty.
@@bobmichaels8663 on one of our previous Royal Enfield videos a chap from India made an interesting comment about this subject. He seemed very informed.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you for the information and keep up with the great reviews!
An educated guess (I like to think anyway). The drier, dustier, generally harder road conditions in India probably influenced the decision to have more frequent service intervals.
Thanks for reviewing an indian 🇮🇳bike.❤️ This bike has less vibration bro
Nice little steed bud 👌🏻
Thanks buddy yes indeed 👍🏼
Can you do a review on the Honda rebel 1100
We will try again.
In Switzerland where i live you must pay around 5500-5800 swiss francs for this bike. :-(
Ahh that’s a shame 👍🏼
In India it's 2000 pounds. Looking forward to your super meteor 650 and the 650 bobber. Re has 7 new bikes in 2022
Great review. Well done!
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review. 100+ mpg is amazing . A lot bike for your money 👍
Thanks, certainly is!
You'll be pleased to know I've ordered one today.
Awesome enjoy 😉
Great review! And even as a single it doesn't sound that bad.
No it doesn’t sound too bad, cheers buddy
Great presentation
Thanks very much 👍🏼
Big like for the effort mate.
Also, I would like to underline that mpg. which is rather unreal. Have you tried it and topped it after 100km?
Mirrors are quite average also. And you missed the tire opinion. It's chinese stuff
Thanks buddy. 👍🏼👍🏼
The tires are Indian, either MRF or CEAT.
Great review Darcy and a lovely looking bike. The dashboard looks really nice and up to date 👍
Thanks, yes was a lovely display
