    Nice review ! Nightster lacks character, has more bells and whistles to break down. Parts and service costs are double and so on.... You made a good choice.

    I think so too. Even if I had the money (which I don’t), I’d still choose the Meteor. Knowing I had money movement to fix the awful rear shocks and add some bells and whistles 😂🙏

    I miss the 90's one 2000's when we had many +/- 1000 cc bikes. The meteor just doesn't have enough for highway speeds with passenger and gear.

    Thank you so much 🙏 The guys at Harley were pushing me to test ride the bigger touring bikes. Telling me not to waste my time on the Nightster. I said I wouldn’t because they were well out of my budget. They said not to worry about that, because after I ride, I would find a way lol. So that scared me off even more because they were probably right. This was from the 2 guys that both own a Honda CT125. Glade you like the Interceptor.Chalk and cheese I suppose, but enough room for more than 1 bike in any one’s life 😂🙏

    Vulcan really was the best competition for SM650 That belt driver however is awesome on RE. Where can I buy it?

    Yeh I really did like the Vulcan much more than the Nightster. The belt drive kits are out of stock for another week or so I’ve heard, but you can show your interest here : rstech.my-online.store/product/royal-enfield-super-meteor-650-belt-drive

    Which one has less vibration the Super Meteor or the Harly?

    The Hersey surprisingly. This new water-cooled engine was very vibration free. No character of a v-twin old style Harley at all. Still a nice ride. The modern Harley of the present and future I suppose. 🙏

    I constantly got 26kpl. After the belt drive with a higher gear ratio I’m getting 28kpl, US and UK mpg are different. But 26kpl is 65.8 mpg US, or 79 mpg UK gallon. I always use 95 rated fuel. And no modifications on air filter or exhausts. Yours is very low. Any mods?

    @@Teacher-T-Thailand The only mods I have are paneer racks and a rear rack. I also have mounted a couple of 1.1 gallon or 5L metal gas cans. I only have about 400 miles on it so far. I do have a bad habit of enjoying the pull of it in 2nd gear. Mabe if I was more conservative in my acceleration I would get better fuel economy. Why the big difference between British and U.S units? I thought a mile was a mile and a gallon a gallon? 12 inch to a foot 5280 feet to a mile extra. What's the difference?

    @Teacher-T-Thailand I just looked it up a U.S gallon is 128oz and the British one is 160 that's crazy. It would appear that a mile is the same in both countries 5280 feet.

    @@Teacher-T-Thailand Pavement=side walk, What do you call the hard surface of a road or a parking lot/car park? Bin is something used to store stuff. Trash can that's self explanatory. Bonnet that is 1800's womans hat. I just got my first service done, I did it right at 310 miles. I have owned my Super meteor cense early November or so but the weather in Idaho has not been very motorcycle friendly because of the time of the year. I wanted to go ride to day but the winds were forecast to be up to 40MPH, not worth the risk. I would hate to live in Wyoming I would imagine that sate only has 30 days a year of riding weather because most of the state is really windy most of the time.
