When the 1st REs showed up near me I was intrigued enough to look them over. I can say that I was impressed by the styling and quality. The 350 Meteor fit me well, even at 6' tall. Someday I may have give up my Harley due to age so I'm preparing myself.

The Young RE CEO when took over, it was a game changer for this company. Being a part of Rider Community himself across the US, UK, Japan and the Alps he has first hand experience of how & whom to Target first instead of Car sales like Business Approach. Once the regional riders give it a shot, and have satisfactory feedback at the relatively low price, buyers flock in. This is how RE kicked off sales in Japan for its Meteor & Classic in the 350 segment.

It is a well known brand. What is happening is that they are doing so great that are spreading in all those countries that they missed in the past and they are doing it very successfully. The price tag and design is a win win combo in my opinion. Drop by bro, you may like my content. :)

do you guys see it too she is so in love with this bike

Made in India ....this is most iconic bike from stables of RE Love its macho design and ride comfort.

I quite like the look of these bikes ...especially the green and black ..however i saw one last week ..with a RE optional extra dual seat ...wow . That really set the bike off ...another hats off for Royal Enfield.

It's nice to see the British countryside again!. Also the bike and a lovely young lady... As a Yank Airman stationed in Oxfordshire for 4 years, i miss my Yamaha 750 and touring the UK a lot!...

Great review! About 50 years ago I had a RE 500 Twin, 1952 model. It had been rebuilt by my late father who was a competition mechanic (built & prepped engines for Le Mans and rallies) and the top speed went from around 70 mph to over 100! It had reverse cone megaphones and sounded glorious, had loads of grunt even at low revs - I really would have liked a front disc brake though! It handled really well - as noted by my footrest rubbers being worn away from fast cornering. Happy days.

Proud that my father worked as Royal Enfield tester for 40 years in India, he was retried 2005. We lived this bike every day :)

That bike has a great sound!

I felt in love with this bike. Nice review!! I just made on step forward to buy this bike instead of vulcan s 650. I loved the sound and the built. Pure classic. Many thanks!!

Same as you, I really grew to love the heel-toe shifter in the meteor and the relaxed feeling of riding with it. So when I put money down for a Super Meteor the first thing I did was order one from India. They are not very expensive so I think it's really worth getting one. Though it's slightly annoying that in India they sell the Super Meteors with heel-toe shifters from factory, but they install regular ones for the bikes destined for the European market. The heel-toe shifter also has the added benefit of not causing wear to the top of your riding boots. In the past I've had to either repair or throw away perfectly good boots because I wore them down so much from upshifting that I ended up developing a hole. Good motorbike boots are pricy so in that sense, at least for me, in the long term it will also work out cheaper to get the heel-toe shifter installed.

Great review Bry, I live in Kent and love riding around Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Good to see a young lady riding a motorcycle, hope you have many happy years riding and making memories!

Thanks for the good review, Bry. Super Meteor is a great looking and sounding bike. It’s becoming a tough choice to decide which one of the REs to choose. All very good retro classics. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

I can honestly say she did this review justice. Not a 1 hour critic but give a brilliant review and I found her honestwith her comments. Brilliant 👏

Just got to say this is the very best bike review out of the hundreds I've seen!!! Great job, thanks !

I bought one. Much lighter than my old Hartley cruiser I might add. And heading towards 70 not a bad thing with my arthritis. So far can't really fault it apart from my android mobile won't chat with it. My grandsons iPhone on the other hand not a problem? Enjoyed watching this vid girl so thanks for sharing your thoughts on the RE Super Meteor 👍😉.

You’ve become really good at doing these reviews, Bry. Did you adjust the rear suspension or just leave it as provided by the dealer? IMHO I think dealers should always set SAG and suspension for the customer at delivery - what do you think?🕊️

What a clear comprehensive review with excellent photography.

Nice to hear a really positive review for a change! Excellent.

Brilliant review of the bike! Well done 👏

You reviewed it. Your the first one I've seen to introduce the tools and the compartment. Nicely done 👍👌

Nice Review Bry… I looked at this exact bike today and loved it. Very comfortable to sit on and the two tone paint scheme is fantastic…. Test ride next week😊

I have the celestial blue model with the screen and backrest. At 6 foot I find the bike extremely comfortable, I wasn't a cruiser guy until I sat on one of these at the Scottish Bike Show earlier this year. Below 60 I find the screen useful, over that speed I get some buffeting in my face. Fine with a full face or flip front but it's a pain when I have the open face helmet on. I don't need the backrest but it comes in handy for strapping a bag to. Compliments my Classic 500 beautifully. A good overall initial review of the bike. Hope you have it a bit longer so you can give a longer term view of how it is for anyone not sure if it's suitable for them. I'm a big fan already.

Excellent review ! Thank you.

I prefer the looks to many of the other modern cruiser-style bikes on the market at the moment. There's plenty of scope for mods, but I could very easily live with it stock.

Really amazed to learn that you have the same horse power laws than we have here in France. 47 HP for new drivers, during 2 years before having access to higher power.

Brilliant review! Tks from Brazil

Great video, very informative and balanced. I also like that colour way.

Great review! I'd love to upgrade my Thuderbird 350 to this so your review was helpful.

Got mine in black last month . been so damn great.

I've wanted to test ride one since I first saw it. Thank you for doing such a great review from a rider's point of view. I needed that. No one is talking about the fact that, being a touring bike, it is not a belt drive. My INT650 was chain drive but I tour full time and the have chain, clean, lube, and adjust every 1,000km/620mi which for me can easily having to stop for chain service twice or three times a week. I can do 600 miles in a day on occasion. No one has paid attention to the service schedule on the Super Meteor. They have cut the scheduled service on the chain in half. Maybe they are using a different chain manufacture which is not as reliable? They chain service interval is 500km/310mi. That a two tank day for me which means on the Super Meteor I would have to constantly carry cans of cleaner and lube and rags to service my chain at the end of each day. If you are touring with your touring bike you would like it to be service free for 3,000 miles, not 310 miles. But thank you so much for your review. I think this will be my next bike as soon as they or someone else comes up with a Belt Drive conversion kit like I did on my INT650. 34,000 miles now with no mess on my wheel or saddlebag and no servicing. Plus, a Sportster guy just told me his belt lasted 100,000 miles. A chain won't do that.

Умница.❤Береги себя,красавица!

Great review.

Beautiful girl. Beautiful bike!

Great review! From your description of features, sounds like 7,000 Quid buys a pretty decent bike!

As usual a really good review from Bri as usual. Howeve I don't like that cruser styling particularly the rear end, I much prefer traditional styling. Regarding a screen, yes they're very good for someone small like you but not if you're tall. Then they just deflect the wind straight into your face and make riding at speed unpleasant over a long distance. I found that my Bandit, an excellent bike, was particularly a bad example of this.

Great review! Id love to have one! Wow, the countryside you have there is so beautiful. Those tunnels of green are awesome! Here, the county would be out spraying poison and taking huge 'brush hog' mowers to massacre each side of the road. It looked magical as you were riding through them. Thank you.

Classic 350 is my favorite 🤩

The motorcycle is really nice. But precisely because of the position of the feet, I think that the Royal Enfield GT 650 would Seem a better choice ( for my liking of course) Over all, the Royal Enfield bikes are great 👍 especially if you want a bike that can cruise... And for me, 47 horses is plenty to enjoy the road... I've personally seen a motorcycle mechanic take the GT 650 with "Pirelli Diablo tyes" on the Twisties. He blew my mind!! Don't let thinner tyres fool you, this guy was leaning using the end of the tyres, simply amazing how this bike performed on those roads!! In the near future, I may get the Royal Enfield GT 650, seems like the perfect bike for my needs😊 Thx for the review and helpful information Safe riding ✌️

Gorgeous 😊

Love Royal Enfield 650

Nice job, Bry

Love your channel. Love the bike. Thank you for the review. I'm 5'4 so may consider the Interceptor. I have a harley sportster low, but with a pillion, it's a bit unbalanced and sluggish.

Enjoyed the detailed review. 😎 I prefer lighter weight motorcycles as well.

Great review , great looking bike at this price point. I wish UK would get rid of those Horrendous Huge Number Plates 🙂

I like this Re super meteor 650👍😊

6:44 Easter 🥚: check out near the tool box, near the keys. Flip open the round cap to find USB charger port.. from meteor 350.. enjoy the beauty. Nice review!

The throttle sounds so good

So beautyful bike....

Sounds much nicer than my 2020 5,000 klm classic 500 with a bad crankshaft. Been thinking of scrapping the bike and getting one of these 650's but I'd need to sit and do a tial ride first.

Beautiful both 💕

I love the look of the bike and you told me everything I wanted to know so thank you. My only two gripes are it’s 150 cc more than my Honda Rebel but the same horsepower. Also, it’s so much heavier so surely would be left behind the rebel.

First video I have watched of yours, but I can tell who your father is, a lot of the same mannerisms 😊

You handled the weight like a boss! As to Guinevere'esque MC reviewers such as yourself, Lancelot would have said.. she is the boss! 😄

It needs a heel/toe shifter, I agree. Also RE needs to update that speedo. It's been unchanged on all their bikes for years, it just looks cheap and tired now. The bike is still way more interesting than the Rebel 500 though.

❤ from India. I own a Royal Enfield bullet 350 x standard kick start.

This bike is an unique.

In Indonesia, has this super meteor 650 but it's the rarest.

i've got the classic 350 which i ABSOLUTELY LOVE, but this is so tempting. the 350 is a keeper, so a second bike? hmmmm...

I owned one of these - but only for about a week! Just wasn’t right for me - pros; cheap for a new bike, looks smart; ergos good for tall riders; useful fuel range; cons: weedy power, quiet and not much soul, suspension jarring, service costs and intervals are wallet draining. Not for me for the commute but good for a Sunday afternoon blast! Good review, lots of hype over this bike but my suggestion is do a test ride before you believe the hype 🤟

I test rode it and it was very impressive, very smooth gear changes and incredible control for a cruiser. Didn't get it though for the reasons you said, not much soul, feels bland.

There’s initially a 5 minutes of non stop talking out of 15 minutes of total video; unexpected but harmless. So the real time reviewing is limited to under 10 mins, which is a good thing given that the drag-cursor is at our disposal.👍🏼

240 kgs !!!! My RT 1200 is 280 with a full tank... But this bike is beautiful, indeed.

I'm umming and ahhhing between this and the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. Tried the V100 already last week. Great bike for me or for both of us. Special offer too as they are 1000 euros cheaper this month. Will be trying the Meteor next week. 8000 euros against 14000 euros for the V100. We are so lucky to have such a great range of bikes available to us nowadays.

Young lady I salute you...or rather I tip my hat to you, I have been riding mostly Custom/Cruiser/Bobber style bikes for 32 years and a wind screen on a bike like yours or mine which is the same style but a different brand is horrible, it really hurts the eyes. My philosophy is if you ride cruisers DO NOT put wind screens on them, it defeats the entire purpose of a cruiser.

at 0.12 I expected to hear the intro guitar of Born to be wild

Never heard paint called a colour way before😊

Rider's Height and Inseam Length would be useful . Small Rider makes bike look bigger . Big / Tall Riders make bike look smaller . If rider does not want to disclose numbers , have them walk by reference objects , like a Fire Hydrant .

I'm new to this channel.. I wonder what is that sort of spitting sound? is that an audio glitch?

This isn't here in the US yet. It really specs out well, and it's gorgeous, but those legs forward controls are too HD for me. Rumor has it that they may mount them back more for this market. I hope so.

Please put your toes on the foot pegs not the heels. This will make your ride much more stable and saver. Don't worry, it will not effect emergency braking timing in a negative way.

For some reason we can't get any of them in U.S.A. There are all of the others available. Rumor had it, would be here in of Summer. But the dealer says they know nothing :(

Style of this bike is good but pegs are forward which means the Interceptor is the one I buy - center foot pegs & foot controls. Absolutely do not like that headlight on this bike or this type headlight on any bikes. Sealed beam Glass Quartz is the way to go.They give you the (right colors) at night & are plenty bright. Love the tool kit thing, great idea.

If I could afford to own two bikes this would be one of them...but it's jusy too impractical to be my daily rider... otherwise, it looks absolutely brilliant to ride.

Late last year I bought a Guzzi V7 850 Stone as a second bike to knock around on for area rides and I absolutely love it! Admittedly, I didn't try the RE 650s, but that was primarily because the Stone seemed a bit better value to me with it's shaft drive, significantly more power, and because I was able to get one in the color I loved for not that much more than a 650 RE. Plus I love they're built in Italy and I'm fortunate enough to live near one of their top dealers who are great to work with. All that said though, from what I've seen and read about RE the last few years I wouldn't hesitate to suggest to both new and experienced riders I know to check them out. I think they're great looking bikes and the Super Meteor seems to have a nice throaty exhaust note for stock.

Love my SM650. There isn't a viewing angle that doesn't look great and balanced.
