I will be very disappointed if there is no improvement. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm an esl teacher in South Korea and looking to get a SuperMeteor 650 for myself to make my commute that much more enjoyable. Look forward to your update on the new suspension and review of the Himalayan.

Thank you so much also. South Korea sounds interesting. Hope you had a nice long break like I’ve just had 🙏

Interested to see how you get on with these shocks. It speaks volumes when a company can't even be bothered to reply to an email. Glad you were brave enough to call them out 👍

I think the problem was I sent an email in English to the Thai side of the company. But as an International company now, this shouldn’t have been an issue.

Your video is a rare find, mate! This is good, please keep more videos coming in on the SM650. I have an Er6N 2016 model and tempted with this bike. To take my Mrs for a lazy spin. Im getting older and the Er6n, even though a nice bike is getting to fast for me 😅 im waiting for the suspension change and your feedback on it. Thanks mate, all the way from India

Thanks for your support and kind words. The new shocks video has finished filming today, and will be ready to watch on Friday. All I can say is.....wow 🙏

Got to say, I already have the 350 classic and love it, and keep toying with the idea of getting the 650 SM, but this shock absorber issue really puts me off. Such a damn good looking bike with poke in the tail you don't need. Let's hope the new shocks do the job. I like the belt drive too you did recently, and I think between the belt drive and a decent set of shocks it will be the bike of the century . Until then, it's not.

Appreciate your comment. I’m hoping the shocks work. We will find out soon. Stay tuned 🙏

Looking forward to the hogan review :). I ordered and received my sprockets and belt from RS tech but I don’t think I’ll be able to install it for another month :(

May be a hard choice of words, but after riding other bikes recently, the fact that they are poor in performance was underlined and stood out drastically. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I do hope you get a Meteor soon, and hopefully my review soon of after market suspension may win you back 🙏

Hey Teacher T, cheers from Panama! what model of Hagon shocks did you purchase for the RE650?

@Teacher-T-Thailand

3 ай бұрын

I bought the 290mm version. Hoping to lower the bike at the same time. 🙏

Are you around Chiang Mai by any chance? (Many years ago, I used to live in Hang Dong near the Ping, and thought I vaguely recognised a few shots). Looking forward to the results on the Hagon shocks. I remember the roads round my way after the rains, and I must say the new Himi looks much more suitable!

nice vid. question.. what are we considering high speed? so i can have an idea

@Teacher-T-Thailand

With the original shocks anything over 80 kph is uncomfortable with big bumps. On Friday the new video comes out with more detail.

Can you share the exact model or link to the suspensions that you are referring in this video! I have been waiting for sometime to get the suspension updated especially for the Indian Road conditions! 😂 I’ll wait for your review to finally make the decision :-)

Hi mister T, which bike do you prefer? SM650 or SG650?

@Teacher-T-Thailand

3 ай бұрын

Personally I prefer the SM650, because of its relaxed riding position and lower seat height. But if you are taller, younger, and want to go faster, the SG650 is fantastic.

where did you get those leather panniers / saddle bags? They look genuine and I can't seem to find them!

@Teacher-T-Thailand

I think they were made for the Bullet 500. Hence I got them cheap on sale. But they are very good at making leather products in Thailand. 🙏

Ur thoughts on windshield of super meteor?? Is it necessary?

@Teacher-T-Thailand

3 ай бұрын

A very popular modification for the Suoer Meteor. I had one on my Meteor 350. The 650 being able to go over 100 kph certainly does get windy. A bat wing does look good also on the 650. But I think I prefer the naked original look. 🙏

How are you liking the belt drive.
