Hey #PDArmy, do help Rohan out! Which one would you recommend - the Classic 350 or the Meteor 350? Comment below, and hit that Like button if you wanna see more videos like this!
Finally a major upgrade to classic after years. Rode the new classic and the good part is that it doesn’t feels like the old vibrator classic, thanks to the new engine.
Finally it all boils down to one aspect and that is.. How you personally prefer the road to get served to you.. A) Sitting on a bike...B) Sitting in a bike.
I was waiting for the launch and then I had more clear picture. I booked the Meteor. The reasons: 1) It comes with Alloys and Tubeless Tyres by default at no additional cost. 2) Meteor comes with Tripper Navigation on all variants. 3) Apart from Single Channel Variant, all other variants of Classic are costlier than Meteor Fireball.
Great selection brother, I have done more than 5000km in my meteor and most of that consists of long ride above 300km +, the ride quality makes it a great companion with those seating positions.
Make sure about the delivery date. I booked continental GT Mister Clean model on 31st December 2020 and I got Rocker Red version on 1st September 2021 after raising multiple complaints and escalations
1),If you ride mostly in city stop & go traffic and do occasional highway rides, then classic 350 it is. 2),If you go for long rides on every other weekends or ride long distance daily within city then meteor it is.
Guys just test rode the classic, meteor actually gives you the better feel. That thump is gone 😞 Pay more to get tripper even on top classic model. In meteor you get both tripper as well as alloy wheels on all variants as standard. Meteor is VFM
Ok all good things to say about shumi and varun , but on this one Rohan takes the Oscar for acting and expressions 🤣😂🤣😂 very funny , as always a very entertaining and informative video & a great way to start the day.
Great video. Absolutely loved it. I, however, personally felt that the ride quality of Meteor was significantly better than classic. Classic is undoubtedly better when it comes to pillion comfort. Meteor trumps classic on every other aspect. I’ve ridden both and this is as per my understanding. I think everybody should test ride the bikes.
I own a meteor 350 fireball. today I went for new classic 350 ( chrome Bronz dual ABS varient) test ride I got difference 1.power- in new classic 350 compare to old classic 350 power is no damn good and responce is nice and gear ratio is nice, refinement make me wow...😍 but when compare to meteor I will say that new classic 350 power is linear and gradual where meteor power is like more sporty and speedy and more responsive 2.Ride- riding position in both is very different meteor is half cruiser where classic 350 upright position so I will say it's depends on person well I love it. While cornering I feel new classic 350 so..stable but one thing I feel that when we need to turn suddenly in new classic we need little hard work because... it's handle bar slightly heavier than old classic 350 and meteor too...while cornering it is stable, while u turn it's little bit hard. 3.Seat- new classic seat is damn good wow compare to old one so comfortable. 4.Lookwise - when compare to meteor I realised one thing wire position of new classic 350 is neatly done I mean so many wire is not visible neat and clean. 5.Quality- I feel both are good but in new classic 350 mirror is still cheap one. 6.Feature - for classic gear position indicator still not there 7.Sound - honestly new classic 350 have more thump than meteor 8.Brake- not much different ( dual ABS brake varient). 9.Price- honestly I will say that prices of low varient of new classic is high at least give dual ABS for all. New Classic 350 so refined and good performance ..nice improvement so I will say that ride position is mean key different not every person loves meteor riding position. so they can go for new classic 350🙂
Meteor started the legacy of this engine, plus we should encourage and welcome the new legacy.. Old classic had the vibe, but the new one has the engine which meteor has too.. So meteor is a king in it's own segment... The vibes are promising, looks promising and modern..
well CB350 is still the Segment best (yes it's not perfect) And it won't sell well due to less bigwing/showrooms/service centres meteor and classic wins in sales
@@Moonlight-hq3gi less bigwing showrooms and also due to how, "in the middle" it is. It's trying to be retro with its long stroke engine and sound, and the way it performs and it's engine specs, but doesn't look quite retro with the neo retro touches. They could have either given a liquid cooled, high compression performance oriented engine and styled it neo retro, or could have styled it completely retro and kept the current engine they're offering. But at this point, they're swinging both sides
well even though cb is better i'am not fully satisfied with Honda India.... yeah it feels like Honda just made a RE competitor and it's not upto Honda Global Standards wish honda bring the cb150r,cb300r cbr250r,cbr150r...
The trick is to consider all the Meteor and Classic variants together as variants of the same motorcycle and then decide which one suits you best. Personally, my choice are the Helcyon Green Classic and the Stellar Blue Meteor......now to choose between these two.........right......that's difficult............Ek ke saath ek free milega kya???
Buy wjat you feel is best for you and best in your opinion, I rode the new Classic today and there is a significant difference between this one and the UCE Classic; very little vibration relative to the UCE one, better braking, though braking could be better; more comfortable handlebar grips; levers that let lesser pressure felt on the fingers; comfortable seat foam; better suspension. It could have had a more powerful headlight, but, I guess those who want one will go for an after market headlight anyway, same for the handlebar. Now the 500 in this form would be exceptional, technically they do have the 410/411 Himalayan Engine between the 350 and 650, but, if the 65p was a 750 the 500 would be a perfect fit in between the two. But given tue current offerings, it looks unlikely. But, think 350-500-750, with the Himalayan being a 500 instead of a 410/411. The Meteor is more quick, but, it needs smoother roads overall, which are mainly available on only some Highways. Do you all not feel that there is a void between the 350 and the 650, and, that nit every body needs a 650, but something more like a smoother 500 single?
The signals version gets costlier than the more premium all black model if we swap the spoke wheel for alloys as we have to buy the tubeless rubbers too.
@@PradyutChowdhury3DVFXartist agreed, but it does come in handy sometimes if you know how to use it and the advantage is that you don't have to put those clunky mobile holders on the handle.
Tripper isn't so useful in meteor as RE has given inbuilt usb cable port, instead RE should have given tachometer with the same size of the odometer like Thunderbird, it would have looked nice.
@@prithvisingh9053 I installed a mobile holder that i already had is same like bobo small one. with fast charging that is small gripper and not look bad on my bike.. perfect mobile holder using from last 3 years. and work like a charm..
Only problem with the meteor is its rear suspension . It is really stiff but it also helps to improve its handling and cornering ability with the 140 section rear tyre . I own supernova brown♥️.
Pricing is wrong? Chrome I enquired today is 2.61 in Hyd! Where as Meteor is 2.4 max. Also, surprisingly they are not providing tripper navigation in the high-end by default!!
I first booked classic and then changed my mind to go with meteor. Handling meteor is very impressive. It has digital console inside and has gear shift indicator, which I liked very much. Handling the bike in parking slot and traffic with pillon rider is also felt very smooth.
Bought meteor stellar custom black on 2 September it's amazing and one important thing to remember is meteor is unique and in my opinion more comfortable especially on highways . Apart from that just take a test drive of both bikes and choose the one suitable for you that's what I did and I am satisfied with it .And guys amazing skit love this segment .
While these two are more or less same, classic can be more versatile. Meteor is aggressive, fast and easy to control but it's cruiser (but has same ground clearance) and hence has certain limitations. If you go an rough patches occasionally, and highways are your playground then go and pic a meteor, but if you hit off road conditions more Classic can be a better option. But here I would like to tell you my personal experience, I took Meteor to Laddakh, and it was so easy, smooth and fun. But there is on point where Classic has no match, the feel, the look, the emotion.
I am really confused between Classic 350 and Meteor 350. I will mostly ride in Bangalore on ORR, to and from the office, and occasionally for long rides.Will weight be a factor in choosing among these 2 bikes. Pillion seats and comfort is sometimes important, too. Please help select one of these awesome bikes. Any suggestions/experiences are welcome
*Technically meteor is cheaper then classic by about 10-15k please correct this info to your viewers. Meteor best seller model fireball has alloy wheels, tubeless tyres as well as navigation for 1.92 ex and at the same price classic 350 gives you spoke wheels without navigation and getting those from showroom will cost you 15k atleast so its expensive then meteor*
Hi, I am really confused between Classic 350 and Meteor 350. I will mostly ride in Bangalore on ORR, to and from the office, and occasionally for long rides.Will bike weight be a factor in choosing among these 2 bikes for my purpose. Pillion seats and comfort is sometimes important, too. Please help select one of these awesome bikes. Any suggestions/experiences are welcome. Thanks in advance. PS: I hope you don't shoot me, even after watching this video I haven't decided 😅
Classic is emotional choice... Metor is practical choice. Practical Bcz of tubeless tyres and alloy wheel and dual disk brake in all range. If I were u...go with classic bcz of emotional. There are many practical bikes out there but there are few that we love without any reason.
based on tripper don't buy any of those. i will suggest go based on looks everything else is 99% same comfort is good in both.. but meteor have some mordan touch. I am owning Meteor and do lot of rides but tripper is useless. but for me meteor over classic any day..
I'm at the same Cross road , as of now scales tipping towards the classic 350, reason is this is something that you buying for the ride comfort and stability which is in favor of the 350 classic ,
@0:04 and @0:10 very cleverly thought-out names from the RE trademark sound... LOL @Varun, @Shumi, @Rohan.. @all of PD.. Why dont you guys make a fast action movie? Your acting, knowledge, choreography ... Videos are all top class better than Bollywood.. Just think over! Not LOL, serious! How many likes for this?
Commenting after watching the video- Apunko aisa video aur maangta! 2 things I want to mention- 1. It's not the car/bike that gets you crowd, it's you and your content. 2. Both bikes are same, it's the buyer's mindset. For me it was the Meteor 350 (Pyar to Thunderbird se tha, par woh ditch kar gayi!)
Well, I don't think there's an answer to which motorcycle is the better out of the two. But there definitely is an answer to which motorcycle is the better out of the two for a particular individual, and that largely depends on their expectations and riding requirements. If you want something more versatile, the classic new gen is the way to go, as long as you are fine with spoke wheels and the tripper navigator being absent on most models. (Unpopular opinion but apart from the dark series, I don't like alloy wheels on any other model. They look sexy with the spokes) The classic also has a better exhaust note, but that's only to the fussy enthusiast. For the general population, that like royal Enfields but aren't necessarily fanboys, the difference is hardly noticeable. The meteor on the other hand is more task specific. It's better than the classic in every sense on the highways. It also is a more VFM proposition as it comes with alloys, dual channel abs and the tripper navigator in the base model itself Personal opinion, but almost all colours of the meteor look sexy while in the classic only a select few, such as the chrome series or the halycon black look nice. Also, meteor has fatter rear tyres if that's your thing. I think both models are good in their own ways
I would recommend neither.....I have n RE and have lost the trust on the after sales services and quality of parts....one of the major headache of owning an RE no matter how good the bike seems to be ...I would rather explore other brands.
I own a meteor from last December and have been very happy with the bike till date. But the new Classic looks really promising as per what Shumi's been bragging about from last 3-4 videos.🤣 This leads me to think of getting my bike replaced or not.. Honestly very confused rather being an owner of one.😄
Definitely Meteor over classic .. I test drove both and finally booked meteor .. the seat is more comfortable, for 5'6" like me .. and yeah that power when you want it .. and looks, yes in flesh, fireball meteor (esp. yellow) is way ahead of everything RE offers as variants in both these avatars ..this engine finds meteor as its home!
Meteor 350 for sure!!! As it is equipped with All basic features and they come as standard fittments and it is also Exported in large numbers to other countries as compared to classic!!!
My dad had an old glamour Fi then last year my brother bought an meteor fireball and this is a fast bike and the suspension upgrade felt dramatic.... It can easily do 100kmph and can easily cruise around +10kmph top speed might be higher but wouldn't recommend to push it that much.... (Or may be I'm a slow rider)
Classic is more expensive . Only the single channel one is less than meteor. Besides meteor comes with alloy( tubeless) as standard and also tripper as well. So from price point 🤔 meteor has upper hand🏍
@@shu_mar meteor. it has more vfm , duel channel abs, alloy wheel, tripper as standard. More info in like gear positioning indicaror. Bit more pick up than classic.
Obviously meteor, bhai simple si baat hai aap itne paise lagaoge to ye bhi to chahoge ki aapko jyada se jyada features mile, Meteor me all alloy wheels and navigation, gear indicators back rest without any extra cost Wahi agr classic me jo digital display diya h wo calculator wali feeling deta hai also spoke wheels alag se alloy k liye 15000 extra dene padenge..
Thunderbird and now meteor are cheap attempt to look like harley davidson ( super meteor is an exception) but the classic holds the original look and looks upright also more comfortable
Hey, I am thinking of getting one of the two, my usage is more of city and then bit on highways not much ofroading. Also this will be my first RE so which one would you suggest?
Very entertaining and informative at the same time. From what u said in the video, Looks like classic is the bike to buy. But as I like the seating postion of meteor, I will stick with meteor.
Haha this actually is a truth these days, at least in the NCR. Sales professionals at the RE showrooms know nothing about the bikes, unfortunately! I always end up explaining them instead about the bikes. Spot on @PowerDrift !
I have 2 Questions,If soneone can Help : 1. Has Classic got better ride comfort and suspension than Meteor ? 2. How about Seat comfort of Pillion ? Seems Classic has a better one here, what do You think?
Pretty interesting seeing all the comments here leaning to the meteor. Oh well RE knew what it was doing but pretty sure choosing meteor over classic is not going to age very well. It’s called a classic for a stone cold factual reason that bikers will recognise through time.
Hi #PDArmy, the meteor has eager engine, larger fuel tank, tripper, and tubeless tires and alloys, lower seat, the only problem you point over the the classic is the foot peg position. Can this foot peg position be adjusted to make it a winner over the classic 350?
The meteor for sure.. its all worth your money..it just makes you love riding and gets you going.. whenever I ride it I just want to ride for hours and hours
Classic next gen is Dream bike,its like some one was reading my thoughts while i was riding my Bs6 classic after the launch of metore and made a bike out of it, RE after meteore RE had the perfect recipe for a Perfect bike and they just did it, took the design and charachter of BS6 classic and put it into meteore technology and let it grow , now you have is Best Bike
Customers are the scapegoats of power drift review. New classic have a mechanical knocking of piston during idling and it's felt everywhere, why haven't you mentioned that ??? Okay you might say your unit doesn't had one. Best of luck for buyers .
PD these days.... "Utho --> Roz subah classic 350 k videos dalke subscribers se tareefe suno --> So jao"😂😂 Nice one tho👍 P.S. kal bhi ek classic 350 video??🤔😏
I chose Meteor❤️. It's better for me, but the company is delayed delivering Meteor 350, I'm waiting 105 days for delivery, steel waiting. This situation is annoying to me. Please Make a video of yourself giving a bike this late.
Classic Next gen does Almost everything Meteor can and a little more with off-road and harsh conditions! That too, all while being relatively cheaper! Choosing Classic is a No-Brainer!

If I were u...go with classic bcz of emotional. There are many practical bikes out there but there are few that we love without any reason.
based on tripper don't buy any of those.
i will suggest go based on looks everything else is 99% same
comfort is good in both..
but meteor have some mordan touch.
I am owning Meteor and do lot of rides but tripper is useless.
but for me meteor over classic any day..
I'm at the same Cross road , as of now scales tipping towards the classic 350, reason is this is something that you buying for the ride comfort and stability which is in favor of the 350 classic ,
Since I own it I always Love my Meteor ❤️ on every day ride!! It's a highway King and best cruiser too!!!
Bro, what about the pillion comfort
In particular, ladies who sit one sided.
Meteor 350 is a good cruiser bike and comfortable
Classic 350 is a good touring bike and it is attached with emotions 👍❤️
Nice content 👍😊👍
i have already booked meteor 350 but after launch of classic i m really confuse which one to buy...
@0:04 and @0:10
very cleverly thought-out names from the RE trademark sound... LOL
@Varun, @Shumi, @Rohan.. @all of PD.. Why dont you guys make a fast action movie? Your acting, knowledge, choreography ... Videos are all top class better than Bollywood.. Just think over!
Not LOL, serious!
How many likes for this?
Commenting after watching the video-
Apunko aisa video aur maangta!
2 things I want to mention-
1. It's not the car/bike that gets you crowd, it's you and your content.
2. Both bikes are same, it's the buyer's mindset. For me it was the Meteor 350 (Pyar to Thunderbird se tha, par woh ditch kar gayi!)
as they say,
'The Best Automotive Content'....
Thank YOU for saying it too
Somehow in his expressions Rohan resembles Amol Palekar, or is it only me?😅
I think so too. Oh wait !
plz tell about pillion comfort , long tour comfort, luggage carrying capacity, hill area or offroad capability between these two.
Genuinely, you guys make Powerdrift what it is. I would pick the RE Classic 350 hands down. Genius Varun - the moustache was hilarious 🤣
You missed to mention the gear position indicator in meteor
Well, I don't think there's an answer to which motorcycle is the better out of the two. But there definitely is an answer to which motorcycle is the better out of the two for a particular individual, and that largely depends on their expectations and riding requirements.
If you want something more versatile, the classic new gen is the way to go, as long as you are fine with spoke wheels and the tripper navigator being absent on most models. (Unpopular opinion but apart from the dark series, I don't like alloy wheels on any other model. They look sexy with the spokes)
The classic also has a better exhaust note, but that's only to the fussy enthusiast. For the general population, that like royal Enfields but aren't necessarily fanboys, the difference is hardly noticeable.
The meteor on the other hand is more task specific. It's better than the classic in every sense on the highways. It also is a more VFM proposition as it comes with alloys, dual channel abs and the tripper navigator in the base model itself
Personal opinion, but almost all colours of the meteor look sexy while in the classic only a select few, such as the chrome series or the halycon black look nice.
Also, meteor has fatter rear tyres if that's your thing.
I think both models are good in their own ways
I would recommend neither.....I have n RE and have lost the trust on the after sales services and quality of parts....one of the major headache of owning an RE no matter how good the bike seems to be ...I would rather explore other brands.
GO for CB350/RS Then
best in Segment (350cc long stroke)
I own a meteor from last December and have been very happy with the bike till date. But the new Classic looks really promising as per what Shumi's been bragging about from last 3-4 videos.🤣
This leads me to think of getting my bike replaced or not..
Honestly very confused rather being an owner of one.😄
Definitely Meteor over classic .. I test drove both and finally booked meteor .. the seat is more comfortable, for 5'6" like me .. and yeah that power when you want it .. and looks, yes in flesh, fireball meteor (esp. yellow) is way ahead of everything RE offers as variants in both these avatars ..this engine finds meteor as its home!
Meteor 350 for sure!!! As it is equipped with All basic features and they come as standard fittments and it is also Exported in large numbers to other countries as compared to classic!!!
Could you explain "J series " engine? How does it differs from old RE Classic 350
I also want to know that!
nevar mention about pillion comfort ? Any have idea
Absolutely loved the creativity with this one😁
New Classic vs Meteor definitely is a bit of a confusing topic for new buyers...
Haha! That is true, and we just laid out some facts to help people pick!
BC maine Paagal hojaana hai, lagta hai dono Leni padegi.
@@dikshanttank6438 Bhai same meri bhi yhi condition hai...🥺
@@dikshanttank6438 go for looks other wise evry thng is 99% same
meteor and classic both have good comfort.
but Meteor have little bit mordan touch.
@@PradyutChowdhury3DVFXartist I hope tera comment mere sahi kaam kar jaye.. Thanks. Bhai. BOOKED CLASSIC 350 CHROME.
My dad had an old glamour Fi then last year my brother bought an meteor fireball and this is a fast bike and the suspension upgrade felt dramatic.... It can easily do 100kmph and can easily cruise around +10kmph top speed might be higher but wouldn't recommend to push it that much.... (Or may be I'm a slow rider)
For better seating and better long rides - Meteor
For Daily + city + occasional Long - classic
Classic is more expensive . Only the single channel one is less than meteor. Besides meteor comes with alloy( tubeless) as standard and also tripper as well. So from price point 🤔 meteor has upper hand🏍
But what would you pick?
@@shu_mar meteor. it has more vfm , duel channel abs, alloy wheel, tripper as standard. More info in like gear positioning indicaror. Bit more pick up than classic.
@@shu_mar thanks for replying. Nice video btw.🤩
Obviously meteor, bhai simple si baat hai aap itne paise lagaoge to ye bhi to chahoge ki aapko jyada se jyada features mile, Meteor me all alloy wheels and navigation, gear indicators back rest without any extra cost Wahi agr classic me jo digital display diya h wo calculator wali feeling deta hai also spoke wheels alag se alloy k liye 15000 extra dene padenge..
Why not Himalayan ?
The base colour variants fall in the same price range
Thunderbird and now meteor are cheap attempt to look like harley davidson ( super meteor is an exception) but the classic holds the original look and looks upright also more comfortable
The best part about PD! Is that they know.. what is in veiwer mind. 😍
The connection is super strong! ;)
honda Highness or RE classic 350 2021 ??
Sir for hilly areas like himachal,which one is good metor and classic ? I am 5.5.
For me Dilemma will be Honda CB 350 vs Classic 350 2021
Hey, I am thinking of getting one of the two, my usage is more of city and then bit on highways not much ofroading. Also this will be my first RE so which one would you suggest?
Very entertaining and informative at the same time. From what u said in the video, Looks like classic is the bike to buy. But as I like the seating postion of meteor, I will stick with meteor.
The METEOR , the seating position is beyond improvement , Feeling "ONE" with the bike is just NATURAL !
That subtle dig at govt with "certificate pe photo bhi hai" and "date toh govt. decide karti hai na" 😂😂😂 Had me laughing
Chrome red or halcyon green man. Really confused.
Doug and Doug have exactly the same moustache as my grandpa has 🥸🥸
Wow that's insane
What should be the choice if jumping from say an fzs. Re or honda cb
Both are good! Test ride them both to know which one you like better!
@@powerdriftofficial any results of the proverbial sprocket change for honda’s burj khalifa of a gearing.?
Haha this actually is a truth these days, at least in the NCR. Sales professionals at the RE showrooms know nothing about the bikes, unfortunately! I always end up explaining them instead about the bikes. Spot on @PowerDrift !
In terms of pricing meteor is more value for money.
Rohan = Amol Palekar
Shumi = Utpal Dutt
Varun = Om Prakash
With this launch.... Classic, Himalayan and Meteor are costing almost same.
Like both bikes….in the end meteor in my garage. Big tyres, cruise look, amazing gear ratio, big fat look.
I have 2 Questions,If soneone can Help :
1. Has Classic got better ride comfort and suspension than Meteor ?
2. How about Seat comfort of Pillion ? Seems Classic has a better one here, what do You think?
Pretty interesting seeing all the comments here leaning to the meteor. Oh well RE knew what it was doing but pretty sure choosing meteor over classic is not going to age very well. It’s called a classic for a stone cold factual reason that bikers will recognise through time.
Hi #PDArmy, the meteor has eager engine, larger fuel tank, tripper, and tubeless tires and alloys, lower seat, the only problem you point over the the classic is the foot peg position. Can this foot peg position be adjusted to make it a winner over the classic 350?
The meteor for sure.. its all worth your money..it just makes you love riding and gets you going.. whenever I ride it I just want to ride for hours and hours
Is it comfortable in offroads
Classic next gen is Dream bike,its like some one was reading my thoughts while i was riding my Bs6 classic after the launch of metore and made a bike out of it, RE after meteore RE had the perfect recipe for a Perfect bike and they just did it, took the design and charachter of BS6 classic and put it into meteore technology and let it grow , now you have is Best Bike
Which one You think would be better for city traffic, especially in the city like Delhi. 🙏
Metro... Delhi is not for bikes...
Personally I will buy classic because it can be used for city as well as trip .
I confused whether Honda cb350rs or RE classic350🤔
Customers are the scapegoats of power drift review. New classic have a mechanical knocking of piston during idling and it's felt everywhere, why haven't you mentioned that ??? Okay you might say your unit doesn't had one. Best of luck for buyers .
Shumi sir looking like 'Paasha' from Family Man 😂🔥🔥🔥
PD these days....
"Utho --> Roz subah classic 350 k videos dalke subscribers se tareefe suno --> So jao"😂😂
Nice one tho👍
P.S. kal bhi ek classic 350 video??🤔😏
Wait for it! 😂
@@shu_mar Waiting for it sir😍😅
Not a RE person.. unless its an Himalayan.. so in classics I'd probably go for the Honda CB 350rs
Such a brilliant video!! Doug-Doug hahahah good one!!! 😍😍😂😂

I chose Meteor❤️. It's better for me, but the company is delayed delivering Meteor 350, I'm waiting 105 days for delivery, steel waiting. This situation is annoying to me. Please Make a video of yourself giving a bike this late.
I'm wondering how they gonna ruin hunter 350
Gear position indicator nai hai classic mai
Whole video one side and that initial 1:30 min one side
Always finding some thing new to entertain us lovely
Shumi looked like ranveer singh in simba😄
Do a comparison between Honda H'ness CB 350 and Royal Enfield Classic 350 next gen . Please 🙏
I will always go for meteor just bcoz of better tyres....classic with 120 rear is really surprising
Classic Next gen does Almost everything Meteor can and a little more with off-road and harsh conditions! That too, all while being relatively cheaper! Choosing Classic is a No-Brainer!
Haha! Well put!
