Great review! Thanks! You're 6'3" which really helps me as a 6'2" beginner to feel confident that this bike might be a good option.

a bike for those who don't see any practical use of 60-100 HP in their lives and it gets you where you want to be without giving you a dent in your pocket lol

Rode the demo yesterday purely by chance . Hit 80 mph on motorway easy for overtaking I'm happy with a cruising speed of 70mph I ride within the speed limits after doing 4 speed awareness courses over the years . I thought it was exceptional ,very smooth . When I got back on my Bullet 500 it was like driving a tractor . Put an order in for the Meteor then told the Wife things are very quiet in the house. Wish I had ordered one earlier.

Just purchased a 2022 Meteor Supernova a month ago. I hadn’t ridden a motorcycle for 22 years, the first ride, as you could imagine, was a wee bit hairy, but, I soon was riding like I use to. What a great bike, for someone getting back to riding or, a new rider after passing the test, maybe a second bike. I think that this Meteor could appeal to anyone from 18 - 80 years of age. I’m 77 and still getting a huge smile every time I go for ride on this lovely machine. Well done Royal Enfield.

Nice review. Can you please review new jawa classic if available in your country? Thanks.

Great, honest review. I soon bought this bike in supernova blue as in your review. It's been 30 years since my last bike and I'm having a blast on this Royal Enfield. I'd encourage any returning motorcyclists to test ride this bike as it's a great bike to return to motorcycling with. It's a 350 single but sitting on it feels like a much bigger bike, weight is not too light, bike feels planted. If your not on dual carriageway much, can't see why you'd want anything more than this wee belter.

Nice review guys /,,/

How did you manage with the heel gear shift or did you stick to the more conventional way of changing up.

Hello from India. I am glad I stopped by the channel while checking out reviews from mature markets abroad. I like the Meteor and what they have done to make it modern, smooth and vibe-free-ish!! By any chance, did you get the New Classic 350 there in the UK? If so, could you please do a quick comparison for that as well?

Absolutely true. Old schoooool bike. Time to get one.

Having owned a Bullet before, I test rode one of these and was very impressed! ....lovely exhaust tone as standard, virtually vibration free! .....very comfortable! ....I want one. Tim Hope.

I’m 6’2” and it’s very comfortable and so easy to ride

For anyone worried about the 'heel-toe' gear shifter, just remember when you rode that Honda 90 Cub!! (I reckon most people on two wheels have either owned, or ridden a Cub at some point, I know I have, so heel-toe shifters are easy-peasy!)

Wished this will come in other iterations such as 411cc, 500cc and 650cc. Anyway Royal Enfield is on a roll. The following models up for launch in the next few months - Classic Roadster Shotgun Hunter Sherpa Scram Flying Flea and An Electric Motorcyle Also BSA will be launching its single cylinder 650cc motorcycle by the end of the year.

Not sure of your budget but I'd suggest as a DAS license holder youd soon tire of the 20 odd BHP power output which is only marginally more than the restricted 125cc power ceiling.

I think the Meteor is a fantastic bike for pretty much doing anything from travelling to commuting. And I agree that 350 cc and 20 horse power is enough for real life and legal speed limits. But I don't get something... Comparing the Meteor with the Classic's 500 cc and 27 horse power, why in all the reviews every reviewer complained about the lack of power on the Classic? So for the Meteor is fine but for the Classic is not?

Very few riders here in the US will accept that speed limit of 71 mph. _(We regularly do 80 and 85 mph on various freeway stretches. And almost every commuter car can reach a max. speed of 110 mph.)_ This bike would have a chance in the US, if the speed limit were upped to 100 mph. But the current engine _(narrow, long bore, push-rod single cylinder 350 cc)_ cannot be modified to provide the necessary power. And possibly the retro design, manufacturing tolerances and current level of equipment (brakes, shocks, etc.) may not handle 100 mph safely. In any case this design is targeted towards India where 70 mph seems ample. The US motorbike market is a tiny fraction of the Indian market.
