- Hi everyone, after 1600 miles of running the Meteor 350 I give my thoughts and opinion as an owner of this bike. I hope you like the video and if you are considering purchasing one of these then please do view, it really will be useful. Thanks all.
But why are you getting rid of the bike after extolling it’s virtues?
150 miles at 60 mph = 2hrs 30min. 150 miles at 70 = 2 hrs 8min so 22 min difference, @60 you arrive less tired and stressed than at 70, better fuel consumption and so on . Is it really worth doing the extra 10 mph? Just my pennies worth 😀😀
thats far too much servicing.... its only a low revving single.... change the oil every 3000 miles good quality brand, ... but constantly fettling tappets.. thats insane .. dont fix what isnt broken.. followed one of these recently we was 2 up on my 300 scooter which has 24bhp.. and we are chunky... the meteor went ok up westerham hill in kent uk.. id not want to go a lot faster on any bike..
First time I have visited your channel. Why do you ride so dangerously with only one hand on the bars for the most part. You were nearly thrown off at one point. Not a good example sorry.
All Royal Enfield riders stop wasting your money on new filter and air inlet plate, keep the filter you have and open up the inlet plate by cutting out the circle, you will get the same response and it costs you nothing.
My dealer in Greensboro nc said if i buy RE OIL FILTER and recommended oil and save the mileage the warranty would be applicable. That is NC And USA
I actually think you struggled to ride that bike safely it was a good job it wasn’t any quicker 🧐
I have similar mileage on mine. I cruise on the motorway at between 65 and 70 mph . I have the standard screen fitted and a screen extension which overcomes the problem described . I fitted a Givi top box and when needed I have soft luggage from Hitchcocks I travelled 250 miles mostly on the A! last Saturday without any problems . This is a good bike. If you want something faster buy the650
I just went through fellow rider comments here and observe meteor is giving different mileage on different speeds I have been riding this at 80kmph and i have observed a 42.5-44kmpl does it really increase at 60kmph? what's being the avg at 100kmph for you?
The Meteor 350 is well capable of touring, there are loads of options for cases and top boxes, even fully loaded the bike pulls well, so I disagree with what you said completely regarding touring.
A good review, except for the touring comments. As any MZ Rider who toured on an MZ 125 or 250 will tell you the secret is to set off early and just carry on steadily. Decent racks are available for the Meteor, so a top box is easily fitted and if throw over pannier bags are not used then fitting something like Craven panniers will not be difficult. Ring position is upright. Great for the posture. As for the servicing intervals. By the looks of it DIY is straight forward. By all means cough up for the initial and 3000 and 6000 mile services. If anything is going to go really wrong it should have done by then. Mine manages 90mpg +. No problems with 150 mile day runs. Reckon I could double that with an earlier off. 50/55 mph good speed, and yes forget about overtaking all and sundry. By the way lower speeds are less tiring so you need to stop less often so average speed tends to be much the same as with bigger bikes. Ken Craven (of pannier fame) discovered that with his organised tours in the 1950s when the 250 scooters he reluctantly took on a tour after many requests tended to arrive at destinations before the 500s as they stopped less.
Thanks for your videos on the Meteor. They were very helpful. 😎
I’ve enjoyed your videos over the past several months talking about your Meteor 350 and you’ve done a great job extolling it’s virtues (and vices) in that time. I’m sure it’s gone a long way to help people make an informed choice. I’m looking forward to seeing what else you have in store and whether you’re planning on adding to your stable.
Thank you for the awesome review… big love from Australia 😊
OK thanks for your reply and look forward to seeing the new bike😎
Thank you! Really informative video!
Great video and helpful as a meteor rider. Looking forward to your new bike reveal.
That’s a really great and balanced review, I think it could be a lot of fun on a summer bimble
I've really enjoyed your rides on the Meteor. I'm going to miss them. I have a hunch that you have something even more interesting for the next leg of the journey!
Very helpful review. Thank you.
