    I bought mine two weeks ago and have done over 800km already. I love this thing! Here in New Zealand we have a benign climate and endless windy, hilly backroads for which the Meteor is ideal. The handling, braking and suspension are perfect for this, although the power output is a bit marginal for the freeway. But who wants to sit on freeways all day? It's nicely put together and the detail & quality is excellent. Some established manufacturers need to be very very worried because RE is going to eat their lunch!

      Harley had bikes in those segments back in the 1960s-early 70s, in their AMF years, and they sold well for them. To capture a new generation of riders, I agree, smaller more affordable machines are the future.

    Its predecessor THUNDERBIRD 350 was a super hit in India. And now the Meteor 350 is following that bright path here. Many people prefer Royal Enfield (be it thunderbird or classic or meteor or interceptor or Himalayan..) for their dream trip to Ladakh. Because, Royal Enfield has service centers everywhere in India, also at a altitude of 10,000 feet ( Leh)...

    I think she will find a nice home when I trade her in (hopefully soon) for the new 2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Signals Edition! (Same engine and frame as the Meteor but way more RETRO)!
    Speaking of age, watch Ol’Man Ronin’s channel about his undying love for the Meteor 350 (he was a big Harley guy until last year!)

    s Stuart Fillingham in the UK says, this bike appeals to muliple, intelligent personalities, regardless of their sex or experience as motorcyclists. I got my Fireball Yellow Meteor 350 on September 20th, and I LOVE IT! I'm an older, retired, and experienced rider. I owned 11 bikes before my Meteor, including a 1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100. I've had big fast bikes; I've been there, done that, and lived to tell about it! Now? I just want to do some lazy crusing on local back roads here... :)
    In addition to the types of riders you mentioned (who'd like the RE Meteor 350), there's another class or rider many reviewers miss: older riders like me who've downsized. When you get older, your mind and body change. You also have greater appreciation of how much longer it takes to recover from injuries. We want something lighter, easy to manage, economical to own & operate, and fun! My neighbor across the street, who retired today, also got himself a Meteor 350; he downsized from a Yamaha Venture. Anyway, don't forget us older riders who've downsized our rides. We want to keep riding, but we don't need something big, fast, and expensive anymore; we don't need to prove anything. We just want to enjoy the ride... :)

      Great word, Marky. And we didn’t forget older riders, who choose to downsize for various reasons. We mention them in our article on the bike-

      It is! Interestingly, we learned that RE has a specific exhaust note they’ve worked hard to achieve with this single, a distinctive sound they engineered. Kind of like how Harley engineers their big twins to emit a hallmark note as well.
      We liked the RE pipe note too, for sure.

    • @roaddirttv
      @roaddirttv  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We get a lot of folks asking if someone over 6’, 200+ lbs would be comfortable on a bike of this size and displacement. We usually point them to the Interceptor or Continental GT 650s, yet we’ve also heard from many in your height/weight range who’ve ridden, purchased, and love the Meteor. Best thing to do is just go get a test ride, see what you think.
      We love all the bikes in the RE range. Affordable, but very quality-built.

    But you don’t mention a single downside or negative aspect to the bike. The video really gives me the impression that it’s a paid advertisement. I’ve watched a bunch of Meteor reviews and even the positive ones still point out the trade offs to get such a low cost bike.

    • @roaddirttv
      @roaddirttv  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In fact it does have a center stand! We failed to mention that in the story. Never found a USB port, and to get under the seat(s) is a bit of a chore. Have to unscrew the 4 Allen bolts securing the rear grab rails/backrest, remove it, then the passenger seat pops off. Then two bolts secure the driver seat, to give access underneath. No real room under the seat for storage. The two side panels come off with relative ease, and that’s where access to the battery, tool kit and some electronics are located.
