Thanks for watching my video! Any questions you want answered about owning a Royal Enfield 350 Meteor?

How does it perform on acute turns ? Turning radius expected to be longer?

"Hot-DAYYUMMM!!!" Lol! Love your spirited presentation. I have a Fireball Yellow Meteor 350 and fell in love with the look too when I saw it at the dealer. After having put 1000 miles on it, I can say it's my favorite bike I've ever owned - and I've had few. Great vid!

Hi from England , love your location, i have had my stellar meteor for two years now covering 6300 miles , no real issues in that time (front fork oil seals went but both forks replaced under warranty) great bike to ride , as long as you realise its limitations , by the way the black plastic caps on top of the forks are for transit purposes and they remove easily, the chrome looks much better IMO ! ride safe xx

Thanks for the comment! Great tip about the removable plastic caps - will look into it :)

The SuperMeteor is faster but also weighs more. It depends if you want a bike that can easily go 65-70 mph or if you want to go faster then a bigger bike that weighs more is the right choice. For around town, I love my Meteor.

@BenDevery

8 ай бұрын

Such great advice, I completely agree - around town the Meteor is in its element.

Use mine daily and it's now just past 16,000 miles. Never had any issues and it's a very hardy bike as I don't really clean it much, even through winter. It definitely draws attention and I find most people think it's an original classic Enfield and are often shocked its new

Hi there! Spent some time in India, love your country. You clocked in 5000km yet? Mine just ticked over.

I've been ignoring the Royal Enfield as in India they're seen as aspirational since we don't have many international options and I refused to give in to the hype but recently I rode a super meteor and I was blown away by it. I guess it is not a surprise that people all over the world have taken a liking to it. The value for money is insane and it is a lot of fun despite the weight. I guess having it plastic could reduce the weight but maybe that could bring down the reliability of all metal motorcycle- what RE is generally known for. Thanks for the review mate. Aryan, Delhi.

Any thoughts on what I like to call the holy trinity of upgrades for the J-series engine the dna performance air filter and cover, the de-cat pipe and the fuel X lite?
