    I’m in the US and can’t wait for this bike to arrive here. It’s supposed to be here in “summer of 2023” but still nobody has it yet.

      I really like what Royal Enfield is doing, how they are rebuilding what was a great brand. They are making great bikes at some very afordable prices. 😁

    You will like the small one too.. Besides the 20 hp power, but it is enough, like with Dani.
    p.s. The Sup. Met. has heel-toe shifter like with the small meteor, I like it very much.

    Thank you for riding the Super Meteor 650 like it is suppose to be ridden... cruising. Many other videos have people trying to ride it like a sport bike, which it is not.
    I've been debating on buying one of three bikes, the Triumph Speed Twin 900 Chrome, Kawasaki Vulcan S and the Celestial blue Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. The Triupmh would cost me nearly $13,000 once I paid all the fees and options I want. The Kawasaki revs at 6000rpm at 60 mph which is way too buzzy. So the Super Meteor 650 is the one I'm most likely to buy due to it's relaxed rpm at highway speeds.
    A couple things I don't understand about all these videos and it might be because I'm old and have been riding since 1964. The vidios always show people putting gloves on, sometimes two or three times during the video. The only time I ever wear gloves is when the temperature is less than 60 degree (F). The other thing I don't understand it why do these videos always show times when the rider is riding with his hands off the bars. Any motorcyclist can do this, but why?

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  8 місяців тому +1

      Usually hands of the bars is to show the stability of the motorcycle and to gesticulate while talking for the camera and about gloves I have riden only with gloves, it feels un natural for me to ride without gloves. And if you want a relaxed bike for cruising the meteor is the way to go.

    Hey Alex! How you doing?
    I just saw my first Super Meteor in the showroom for the first time and amazing as I thought it would be! (Have followed its journey on line)
    Also sat on a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 and strangly felt more comfortable. Natural 🤔 But love Royal Enfield more for style.
    Have you reviewed the Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S? I would wonder what you would choose between the two?
    Both competitors from different directions... currently trying to organise time to ride both...

    It always amazes me that some people keep expecting a pack mule to function like a race horse. Some motorcycles are pack mules, and others are race horses. By the way, I’ve turned motorcycles that weren’t race bikes, into cafe racers. ✌️🇺🇸🇷🇴✌️

      You can work a bike to become whatever you want it to be. I'm just a bit disappointed in videos I see of people getting of a sport bike and on to something like this and calling it slow. Well, no body ever said it was fast and nobody ever intended for it to be fast. Different strokes for different folks

Nu indemn niciodata pe nimeni sa mearga ca mine si oricum de la acest eveniment am plecat cu un full set de protectie Alpinestars (ghete, pantaloni, geaca) si voi face un video. Majoritatea first ride-urilor de genu sunt dupa oportunitate. Apare pe moment si n-am timp decat sa pun casca in cap si sa dau drumu la inregistrare. Momentat nu am inca disponibilitatea dealerilor sa imi dea o motocicleta 1-2 zile sa pot sa o filmez in liniste si corect. Facem ce putem :D

    I hope to seek your view.
    If you are 1.7m, which would you choose, Meteo 650 or Rebel 500? And help me with 5 comparison points (likes and dislikes).
    Thank you so much!

      I would go for the meteor for the charm of that air cooled engine, sure it's not as sofisticated as the rebel engine but it ads another dimension to riding that in old school clasic engine sound and power delivery.
