They forget the number of years in experience that you have and you are already done with the hard struggles in life and now is the time to smile at things which you would have frowned at two decades back. Keep laughing and smiling and make us do the same. By the way, did you notice that the handle grips and the brake & clutch levers of the Meteor are larger and chunkier than the 650s? I don’t know about your hand but for me, a 5 feet 6 inches guy with small hands, it’s quite a reach to turn the ignition, horn or the turn signals. Even to reach for the clutch you have to consciously put an effort 😜.

I have the Himalayan with this on. If you are using it to a destination with lots of short direction changes in the navigation it’s not very good because of course you can’t see what’s coming up after the turn you are about to make so it’s almost like a surprise what comes next which i actually find to be quite dangerous. However for longer sections eg on a main road it works quite well.

I believe that while in commute kilometers makes so much sense to you as miles does for me.

You should check on my video with "tripper update from India" as I am talking there about the fact that we have both in the UK and US really outdated version of the tripper application. And I'm talking there how to get much newer and better Indian version. Hope that will help. CHeers

Question about the "tripper". Usually when I plot out my trips, I do it on a laptop then send it to my phone. I almost always click the "avoid highways" box on Google maps options. My q is, will the tripper follow that option once it is synced? Thanks brother.

This tripper function would be handy when in cities for sure. When planning a ride I plot my track on my PC and then transfer it to my Garmin GPS. The map I have loaded on the GPS ( and Basecamp) is not that useful in cities. I have in the past used an old Android ( mounted on the bars) phone with off line maps loaded to find my way through towns/ cities. This option would mean I can keep my I phone in my jacket and do the same thing.

hopefully the navigation doesn't ruin you and your wife's left/right game:) recently returned from my trip from York PA to Cleves OH for gravelrama jeep racing and Ohio is underrated for its beauty!! someday you should set the navigation for Cleves, Aurora IN and rabbit hash KY. the tristate area is really beautiful and great backcountry roads

Hi I've got the super nova. But have to say the Tipper is absolutely awful. Planned a ride which I have never done before. After a few miles my phone must have lost mobile signal. Looking down noticed the the Tripper had turned itself off and was just showing the clock. I've ended up purchasing a TomTom 550 dedicated sat nav. Which gives you more turn by turn information. Watched another review and they had the same problems with their Tripper , I also have a Beeline which works much the same way as the Tripper but a much better device as I've never had a problem it not turning itself off. But it does have its limitations. Ps love your videos. And I can honestly say that the Meteor is probably the best bike I've ever owned. Absolutely love it apart from the Tripper.

I have put some 2200+ km in my Himalayan and used the tripper for few times. It is fine for highways but unfortunately when it come to busy areas and places with to many turns, it is just utter disappointment. It gets too confused. Maybe it’s just me and don’t know how to use it the way it was supposed to be. I would be happy to go back to no tripper option or just use the dial to see time. (10k INR for a clock, sure makes me look stupid) I also feel that google/apple maps are far far better in States compared to what we have in India.

Picked my Meteor 350 up yesterday. I paired the Tripper with my phone last night and did a run today on a road I know well. It took me a few junctions to realise that the roundabout symbol just means ‘rbt ahead’, and the NUMBER next to it gives the exit. The navigation is very basic, and I’m disappointed that there isn’t more detail in the manual about how to use it. But it’s a brilliant idea and, like the Op says, I can see a lot more manufacturers offering something similar in the near future. Google Maps is so good as a route planner, and a simple interface like RE’s is a perfect complement. Loving the bike so far.
