This is one of the nicest motorcycle review videos I have seen. It's just like I am sitting pillion and riding with you! No BGM, No commentary, just the feel. Lovely.
I'm so glad you did this. Royal Enfield bikes run in our family. I own a Bullet 350, brother owns a Classic 350 and uncle owns the Meteor 350. The engine on the Meteor and Classic is extremely refined compared to my Bullet. We go on weekend rides and find it extremely fun. 3 dude's with slow yet fun bikes. My uncle's son will soon be joining us to with the all new Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Build quality is solid as well for the price they're being offered at. Love your videos as usual.
Me too.. KTM runs in my family👪. (Family planning polio drop version photo(photo available only in India). My grandfather owns the duke 125,my sister has the rc 200,my dad has the duke 250,my brother the ktm 390 and I own the 1290 duke (We're not demons, we beasts). JUST KIDDING MATE. (love the new RE meteor)....
Oh the fast part!! The cornering clearance is quite low on that motorcycle. And for good reason. But yes. Compared to the previous generation Royal Enflied engines, this is way more refined and fre-revving. I love the old world charm that it brings though. Anyways, Thanks for the video, Schaaf! Love from India!
I've had more than 25 motorcycles during the years and now a proud owner of a Yellow Meteor 350 as shown in your video. Last years I've lost the pleasure of riding motorcycles and always were looking to the fun. For some it was no gears like a scooter but I hate the sound of it and not more than going from A to B. Some motorcycles had a lot of hp's and you need to get the adrenaline boost of fast riding or acceleration. With the Royal Enfield I really really enjoy the riding itself. Just cruising. The bike always speak to me and tell me. Wim, I don't care if you open the throttle half or wide open. I won't go fast, simply because I can't. Enjoy the ride and if you are in a hurry or to late for an appointment, just pick up the phone and tell the person that you are to late, it's just that easy. Love that bike and the spirit around. I can do short highway tracks if necessary. Faster than a truck, slower than a normal family car. Low fuel consumption 2,9lit/100km. Top bike!
Idk how to explain, but it makes me feel peace, like a brake from all the work and having to go fast all the time during the week, we i get the time to ride on the weekengs, get out of the city, travel trough some back roads, feel the wind, the road, it brings peace, guess im crazy
this definettely the best sounding single and best part of it it's stock exhaust usually single sounded very boring, add an after market and it become loud and annoying
One of the most comfortable and fun bikes I’ve ridden. You can go anywhere on one of these if you’re ok with 20hp and not going faster than 70mph. I test rode one and loved it, same lovely yellow, but ended up buying the Classic 350 bc I didn’t want another cruiser this time.
I'm very on the fence about it. I love the look of the classic 350, but the 70mph top speed kind of throws me off. Even my 1986 Rebel 250 could do 80... It just isn't great for US roads. Really limits where you can ride
@@pauld.b7129 Thus why I probably won’t keep it. If I had room for two bikes I would, but eventually I will need a faster bike again. Right now Enfields are available when a lot of other bikes aren’t. Dealers are overstocked with them right now. If I didn’t have one I’d definitely be looking at what’s coming out for 2023-24 because availability should be back to normal.
@@mindspinn311 yeah my local dealer has a Meteor for $4150 right now. Killer deal, but I'm just not sure I'd be happy with it. How's the acceleration feel? Is it at least peppy up to 60 or so? It seems like a great bike when it's in it's element.
@@pauld.b7129 No it’s only peppy in city environments or on empty back roads. You have to get used to how it makes speed. If you’re used to a normal bike it feels very slow at first. If you want 0-60 confidence you need a lighter bike with at least 40hp. Even the Honda CB300R is significantly quicker.
Hallo Schaaf! Zuerst muss ich dir sagen, dass ich deine Videos extrem mag! Kein unnötiges Geplapper, nur purer Sound! Mir haben es die langhubigen Royal Enfield 350er angetan! Sobald die Hunter 350 in Österreich zu kaufen ist, werde ich zuschlagen! Für mich ist es Zeit zum Entschleunigen - meine KTM Duke werde ich dann verkaufen! Ich lebe in einer so schönen Gegend und ich möchte beim Motorradfahren wieder mehr von der schönen Landschaft mitbekommen! Vergiss READY TO RACE...........
I have been looking at these with keen interest.The price of the bike is amazing,there are more expensive new 125cc bikes out there....Im glad you gave it a good review,there seems to be lot of love for RE bikes these days!
I have a 3 year old meteor and recently I decided to go for a faster bike and try some offroad as well and got the new triumph Scrambler 400x. The plan was to sell the meteor but when the calls started coming I could not let go of the meteor. The slow pace relaxed riding is just something else. So now I own both.
Edit: Question: between the Meteor and the Classic, which one did you enjoy the most when cornering? A lot of people say the Meteor has an easier handling than the Classic but I would like to know your opinion. And thanks for these delightful riding videos! Greetings from Chile
I am a proud Meteor 350 owner from India 😌 You drove so well and cornered amazingly with great confidence ! But I heard some sound at 8:02, did it's footpeg scratch due to the more twisty corner ?
We sell these at my job and the people that buy them know nothing about the bike or Royal Enfield 🤦🏾♂️ it’s hard to help someone when they don’t even know they are supposed to change the oil…
Schaaf, did you hear in the video a litte buzz every time you break? IDK if it's something normal since I've only ridden basic bikes with no more than 200cc
Hi Schaaf, Absolutely Love Your Videos, infact one of my favourite videos on this channe is the meteor 350, interceptor 650 and the hayabusa ones. I was curious to ask a question, Whether royal enfield still has the stellar custom black colour for the meteor 350 abroad, here in India, they discontinued it last year, and according to our dealership the last stellar black custom is with me only because here in india people didnt bought the colour as it had a waiting period of 1 month and extra booking amount if compared to others as well. Would really appreciate if you replied. Also, Love from INDIA. Edit: Would also like to know what was the top speed of your meteor 350, as some youtubers in india say they got it around 105Kmph, then the others are saying they got it around 140-150Kmph, meanwhile mine only goes around 125Kmph
Honestly, due to my riding skills (lack of, rather), slower bikes tend to be more enjoyable and that is mainly why we ride. I love the videos like this. This bike gives vibes of the old Nighthawk 250, but it sounds better and I would be money it has better brakes!! 🤣
Indian bikes❤ BTW I am a Indian I have an Standard 350 and a Classic 350 Electra💕 You should try Classic 350 not the new model the old models (Cassic 350 Electra)👍💜
I've tried this bike in a Auto Exhibition in Indonesia and for god sake, this is the first time i rode a bike this heavy. (Honestly, i never tried a motorbike more than 270cc, especially the cruiser type). Suprisingly, the low-end torque is actually very good for a 350cc Single, and yes the sound from the exhaust is quite relaxing for me, especially when cruisin' on a quiet winding roads. I would say, it is a nice motorbike i've riden.
*_#Sir_**_,🎉_*_ I was randomly watching RE 350 classic review,and ur old RE Video pops up,loces ur that review,where u rev up the Classic to its limit.😘😘😘✌️_ _Then i Watched ur this one video,really enjoyed this oje too. _*_#Mad_**_ Love amd huge respect,_*_ to ur _*_#Driving_**_ skills and Editing skills.✌️💥_*_ God bless u,stay safe with Great Love From India.🇮🇳_
Hehey! I had a chance to test ride 3 REs the same day last month. New Himalayan, Meteor and the newly launched Hunter 350. Meteor (It was yellow as well!) really felt good! Sooo relaxed. 9:18 Agree with you, man. It's pleasant on gentle cruising. I didn't even want go fast. Did you like the Classic or the Meteor more? Why? Also, to the ones in Europe, is that tripper navigation thing standard or you've to pay more?
@@cmiguelq I liked three of them. But if I'm getting a next bike, which I'm seriously thinking of, I'm leaning more towards the Meteor. Mostly because it looks good and is comfortable for my Dad too. He didn't like the Himalayan/Hunter. If Honda would bring something similar to the Meteor, like they did with the CB350, I'd definitely go for the Honda. As for the Hunter, it's got the same same 350 engine but lost like 15 kgs of overall weight. So for a RE 350, it's quick(ish). Nimble, rear set foot pegs, slightly sporty body position, small rear seat. Nothing fancy. Very good for cities, I'd say. it's got a cheaper price tag compared to Classic 350.
@@Schaaf I've been riding the old Classic for over 6 years. So the Meteor gave me something different and I loved it. Like to see you try the Himalayan on day 🤞
Is this bike good for touring? I've been considering this but I wasn't really sure about it. I also don't have the chance to test drive one since the dealership near me doesn't have a test unit. Ther ergonomics work well for me though, just not sure if it's as fun as a touring bike. Like multiple day rides or something. If anyone has toured on a meteor 350, it'd be nice if you could give a feedback. Also, what modifications did you do to suit the touring job. Thanks! Great video, i love the pure sound of the bikes. Makes me feel like I'm the one riding. Keep the great content coming!
What country do you live in and what's the speed limit?? I'm considering the bike as well, but it tops out at 70mph, it's kind of a deal breaker for me. The engine would tour great at 60mph it seems, but in the US there's not many places to ride at 60mph or less.
@@pauld.b7129 I'm in the Philippines. Express ways here have a 400cc minimum and you can go pretty fast at around 90mph, but scenic routes don't have engine restrictions and are usually twisty. I kinda dig Royal Enfields because they're relatively cheap to operate and maintain. We have Japanese bikes here that are really good but I like the classic styling of the meteor.
@@Grovreicraynth It's amazingly comfortable, even without any modifications. At most, you might want to get the touring seat that RE offers, which is a little more padded to increase comfort for long hours. If you're a very tall person, you might end up finding this motorcycle a little oddly low. I would suggest taking a look at the Honda CB350 too (if it is available), it has similar characteristics and styling but is a little more neutral in terms of the seating and spacing.
Длинноходный классик 350 чем, Метеора! Классик можеть тяговити на низах! Длинноходный двигатель низах нормально работает и экономично! Прёт как трактор ,надёжно, долговечно, прочно!
Hey Schaaf, I use your backpack "method" for sound recording with Zoom H1. Any advice for sound settings on the device ? My recordings seems having so much little noises and its like coming from deep...
Hi brother, just wanted to ask that will doing engine braking with rev matching on this bike hurt it's engine pr gearbox ever? Like I'm concerned because company says that 3rd to 2nd shift should be done on below 30 kmph speeds, but with engine braking we usually do it in 40 45 kmph also.....i just wanted to ask that it will not harm my motorcycle right....?
I've had mine for over a year now. 3,400 miles. Mostly commutes. Many day trips. It's all the motorcycle I've ever wanted. Then again, maybe I can give the 350 to the wife and get a Super Meteor when it hits the US market and finally hit the interstate without worrying about getting run the fuck over by every god damn monster truck mall crawler.
Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai commandé une 350 météor que j'aurais au mois d'octobre , pour ceux qui possèdent cette moto ma question concerne la fiabilité , est que vous avez eu des problèmes mécaniques ou autres ? Les pneus montés d'origine sont t ils de bonne qualité et sont ils bons sur le mouillé ? Bonne route à tous et à toutes 😊
Thanks for the video! It showed exactly what I was looking for: how it handles sharp turns. I live in a mountainous region of Switzerland and didn't know if it would be good for these conditions but now I see it is! By the way, what gear were you in when you made these turns? Second gear?
@@Schaaf Thanks for the answer ! I just went to the dealer to try it before buying it and it's exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. Can't wait to actually have it
would be perfect with a weight of a 350cc, approximately 150kg. but here 190kg ???? wtf did they do for that... really disapointed. for a heavy bike a prefer to chose the Interceptor 650
This is my dream bike, especially in that gorgeous yellow. I'm ironing out all the beginners mistakes on a beat-up 125 this year, looking to do my DAC next year and hopefully pick up one of these beauties.
This is one of the nicest motorcycle review videos I have seen. It's just like I am sitting pillion and riding with you! No BGM, No commentary, just the feel. Lovely.

@@mehtaabsinghminhas2611 Yeah, Mehtaab. I know. We all know
it is a cruiser
@@Schaaf thank you for dis !!
This is why I enjoy watching Schaaf, because he rides the bike up to its limits. This was fun to watch man.
That and there's no music, voiceovers, or anything else. Just the sound of the exhaust and him riding. That's it.
Glad you guys enjoy! Thanks
@@Schaaf heyy man ride new RE Hunter
Its better than meteor‼️😍
He doesn’t really push it to its limits, I push mine way harder.
@@prithvirajjadhav5500 Hunter is nowhere near meteor comfort wise, dont kid yourself..., hunter is very similar other common bikes!!
Hope you have some blurry stuff to put over that speedometer. Cops are going to be all over this one!

Just put a wind shield that is more then enough 😊

Looks-wise, the Classic 350 is the winner. It is special. The Meteor just looks... generic
I agree
Well the top model of meteor is something else...
is this thing even able to trigger blurred speedo? :-)
most definitely downhill!
If you like RE meteor,you must listen to honda CB350RS/H'ness....it sounds much better than this
It sounds more crispy. Definitely a different sound.
Ok
Waited so looonngggg for this ….!!!!!
cool!
It has a nice sound.
Thanks
who needs to race when you can cruise :D
Looked and sounded like a lovely care free fun machine for slower paces
Thanks

hi , quick question why did you rev your throttle while down shifting?
It's called rev matching

Ok
Hahah try RE Hunter next, I have an Int 650 and after riding it the hunter feels like a scooter. For you, I am sure it will feel like a bicycle 😀
sounds good ;)
It has the same engine so I imagine it sounds the same. The hunter is just a cheaper version of this bike.
Own a Meteor in the exact spec! Even though I've got two HOGS, the RE still puts a smile on my face! Just a light Iron Horse that gal!
That is awesome!!!
Yes its good for slow cruising but, over time it becomes boring and you need that extra power.
Weird, I know people who enjoy 125s over decades
I think you need to jump on my dads RE classic 500 tribute with a custom exhaust, sounds rather brilliant
Would love to

I would suggest taking a look at the Honda CB350 too (if it is available), it has similar characteristics and styling but is a little more neutral in terms of the seating and spacing.
Thanks for sharing your insights guys
Schlaaf do you prefer the meteor or the classic 350?
Длинноходный классик 350 чем, Метеора! Классик можеть тяговити на низах! Длинноходный двигатель низах нормально работает и экономично! Прёт как трактор ,надёжно, долговечно, прочно!
Classic
@@Schaaf thanks for the reply!
Reminds me of the Monkey ride(s).. and not just because of the tank colour
Hehe
Hey Schaaf, I use your backpack "method" for sound recording with Zoom H1. Any advice for sound settings on the device ? My recordings seems having so much little noises and its like coming from deep...
Just make it louder in post production
please make a video on "Royal enfield hunter 350"

Hey, a Royal Enfield! Would it be too crazy to assume you would drive Bajaj someday, hohoho)
Bajaj is shitbox.

how is it compared to the classic 350?
Ride with your eyes closed and you won't be able to tell any difference. Although I don't recommend
Same but a very different seating position
Those are excellent 4 the money, homerun 🇮🇳
Hi brother, just wanted to ask that will doing engine braking with rev matching on this bike hurt it's engine pr gearbox ever? Like I'm concerned because company says that 3rd to 2nd shift should be done on below 30 kmph speeds, but with engine braking we usually do it in 40 45 kmph also.....i just wanted to ask that it will not harm my motorcycle right....?
I just bought a 2022 Classic 350 and I love its little personality!
Nice!
I've had mine for over a year now. 3,400 miles. Mostly commutes. Many day trips.
It's all the motorcycle I've ever wanted. Then again, maybe I can give the 350 to the wife and get a Super Meteor when it hits the US market and finally hit the interstate without worrying about getting run the fuck over by every god damn monster truck mall crawler.
a 650 cc is about to come for this model as well!
nice!
This is the only channel where I am happy during the ads.
Nice!
Did you change the exhaust?
Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai commandé une 350 météor que j'aurais au mois d'octobre , pour ceux qui possèdent cette moto ma question concerne la fiabilité , est que vous avez eu des problèmes mécaniques ou autres ? Les pneus montés d'origine sont t ils de bonne qualité et sont ils bons sur le mouillé ? Bonne route à tous et à toutes 😊
I can't comment on reliability but I'd definitely recommend changing tires
Why on earth are you blipping the throttle when you drop down through the box? 🤦
Why on earth do you not know what rev matching is?
Jesus the fast part looks fkn scary! :D hehe and exciting! Taking my license in march next year.
How do you record only the sound ?!
Super meteor 650 has just been launched today❤
Thanks for the video! It showed exactly what I was looking for: how it handles sharp turns. I live in a mountainous region of Switzerland and didn't know if it would be good for these conditions but now I see it is! By the way, what gear were you in when you made these turns? Second gear?
Thanks! The tight ones I made in 2nd
@@Schaaf Thanks for the answer ! I just went to the dealer to try it before buying it and it's exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. Can't wait to actually have it
Love my Meteor but 1st-3rd are short as hell
Thanks
I have the same meteor 350 and was wondering if only my bike sound got changed in high speed. At high rpm the bikes sound comes from the engine
OK
@@Schaaf is it same for you as well. At high rpm it feels like engine is making loud noise
What is that sound coming at 8:01?
Footpegs scraping
Thanks
I loooooove the sound. Its nice and cool fr
Thanks
I sure wish I could shift as well as you do. What a good ride!
Hey Schaaf, when driving faster your not using the clutch? Just curious if i see that right in a beginner
Oyeah finally my bike!!!
Nice
please review royal enfield hunter 350 too
Which country bro, amazing video
Love those roads bro really nice.
Thanks
Is this this natural exhaust of meteor or have u changed it after purchase
Do you feel like the bike is badly underpowered in the hills?
What a beautiful place. Which country?
where is the tappet noise "tik tik tik" ?My Meteor is veeery noise tik tik tik
😅 beautiful route and motorcycle.
;)
Please tell Which location of the road beautiful place
would be perfect with a weight of a 350cc, approximately 150kg.
but here 190kg ???? wtf did they do for that... really disapointed. for a heavy bike a prefer to chose the Interceptor 650
I can't care less on a cruiser lol
Hi. Is this a chest mount view of camera?
Which country is this ❤
Royal Enfield the ultimate joy of riding.
8:30 algo esta raspando contra el asfalto,se escucho varias veces cuando inclinas la moto
Please do a video of the honda hness cb350
Not available in Austria
This is my dream bike, especially in that gorgeous yellow. I'm ironing out all the beginners mistakes on a beat-up 125 this year, looking to do my DAC next year and hopefully pick up one of these beauties.
Go for it!
