Good vid 👍 *Plough*
🙏
This would be an amazing bike if it was shaft driven, but still a great bike though 💪🏻🏴
Shaft drive would push the price up too much sadly. Royal Enfield are definitely price point driven on their sales targets. But the belt drive is the next best thing, and a worthy reasonably priced upgrade 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand absolutely mate 👌🏻💪🏻🏴
Hello and thank you once again for a great video! Please be so kind and help us with a link with the USB port. I cannot find anywhere to buy it. Thank you in advance!
Thank you. That's a shame you can't get hold of the part. Just giving the part number to your local Royal Enfield dealer should be enough.if not, I will try and get hold of some 🙏
There are awesome bags for 650 But not able to get a contact number for purchase 🙂
Just Google “Trio Machine Company”. There are stockists of the product world wide 🙏 Expedition Saddle bags.
С 02.07.24 по 08.07.24 - проехал на своем СМ650 более 2000 км. Дороги у нас хорошие, поэтому среднюю скорость легко удавалось держать в 120-130 км/ч. Мотоциклом очень доволен. Хотел бы и дальше продолжать путешествовать, но мой небольшой отпуск подошел к концу. Классный мотоцикл, я в него влюблен! Спасибо за Ваши обзоры. С большим удовольствием их смотрю.
Thank you. Glad to hear you are enjoying your Meteor 650. Safe riding. Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello and thank you for the great video! Where can we purchase also the DBK for the Rhino Racing exhaust System? On their website it isn't mentioned that it is included. BR, Laurentiu
Thank you. They should be included as standard, for legal compliance. 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand thank you! so it is not certain…
@@gheraselaurentiu7689 I'm certain they are included. Illegal with out🙏
Will it fit on new shotgun 650?
Yes it will 🙏
I think Kawasaki's Vulcan S is not made to have the look and feel of a classic/traditional cruiser. It's not an Indian, Harley or Royal Enfield. The Vulcan 900 Classic, Vaquero, or Voyager all have V-Twin engines, a low rumble, and an overall classic styling. They are designed to appeal to an older audience. I was sport bike shopping and the Vulcan S caught my eye while I was sitting on a ZX-10R lol!
Agreed. It’s a cruiser stance with a racing engine. I took the bike out again this weekend. 3 owners. Honda Rebel 500 vs Vulcan S 650 vs Meteor 650. We swapped bikes on a round robin. Next Friday’s video 🙏
This and maroon color are my favorite.
The maroon is lovely yes. Very classy 🙏
Nice video.. Helpful.. quick question: is there a trade off to the shorter shocks? Did you scrape the underside ok bumps or speed breakers? Thanks
No trade off. No more bottoming out like the original shocks do. Lowers the bike by 20mm, and improves the comfort of the ride no end. 160 km in the saddle today. 🙏
Beautiful vlog
Thank you so much 🙏
classic or bullet or hunter, that's the question for big cities, ?
Same engine all 3. It would just depend on your riding stance. But I think the Hunter would be the lightest of the 3 and more nimble 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand ok, thanks
That's one nice motorcycle
Thanks 🙏
Best bike
👌🙏
Unfortunately cannot find it anywhere in UK. Only on ebay for around... £40 delivered from India.
Royal Enfield parts are in short supply sadly. I can’t even get rear brake pads from my local dealer. 45 day wait. And expensive. So after market HH rated ones will be ordered. Hope you manage to track one down. Works a treat 🙏
Do you have te specs of the belt, is it (Gates 14MGT-1890 -20mm)?
It's certainly a Gates belt. Details are here. You can ask for specifics. rstech.my-online.store/product/royal-enfield-650-belt-drive
These are the two bikes I'm considering getting so this comparison is much appreciated. Due to a high school soccer injury, i can't ride long on a bike with a lot of handlebar vibration. My brother's Harleys put my throttle hand to sleep in minutes. I think the Vulcan's motor is smoother (when not lugging) & that equates to longer rides for me. They do both look beautiful though & Super Meteor has MUCH better colors than the Vulcan.
I was under throttling the Vulcan. I’m not used to such a high revving bike. And it was only at low revs and low speed I was getting the vibration. Tomorrow we plan to make a video. Meteor 650, Vulcan S 650 and Rebel 500 set up and compare. 🙏
I've got a Classic 350 coming on Thursday. Looking forward to having a bike for the first time since 1987. Similar power to my Suzuki 370 trials bike.
Another Iconic bike. The same engine as the Bullet I rode here. You will love it. Enjoy 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand Cheers for that. I'm sure I will.
Hi, great video, I will be doing the same to mine. Will the chain need adjusting afterwards Or if I do the same as you and lower it by 20mm?
If lowering, the Chian may need slackening rather than tightening. I got away with it. My chain was a bit lose, and was perfect afterwards. Needs checking though. 🙏.
Thanks for the quick reply. The rear shocks are awful and need replacing . 👍
@@pete147 they really are awful. I gave mine 6 months and tried all the preload settings. Nothing I was true.y happy with until I changed the shocks. Good luck with it. A worthy upgrade 🙏
Looks a good kit , I would consider one if I bought the Super Meteor or Shotgun, but waiting to see if the classic 650 materialises !
Ohhh it will. But probably 6 months to 1 year away. Depending on where in the world you live. If they get the looks and colour choices as good as the Classic 350, then that would be a contender for many 👍🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand I have a Gunmetal grey classic 350 , if they keep it true to it's style I'll have one!
@@melfzs 100% I’m not a great fan of the colour choices on the Meteor 650 or Shotgun. 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand yeah, they are a bit hit and miss , but I think the green of each version is the best choice of either ?
@@melfzs hence why I have the green and black😂🙏
Add a 650cc twin, inverted front forks and a gear indicator and you have a super bullet , now that's my kind of bike, why hasn't RE thought of this?
They have. It will be the new Classic 650 coming soon. 🙏
its in the cooking in RE
Hello, Teacher T. How are you? Has your Super Meteor 650 ever presented a problem that here in Brazil we call "False Neutral" (failure to engage gears at high rpm)? Thank You.
Yes it happened a couple of times to me when the bike was new. But is soon passed after 500km. 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand Okay. I am very grateful for your information. Out of curiosity: can you explain why this is?
@@Fortunato0405Mauro sure. When the swing arm rises, the distance between the two sprockets is less, hence the chain gets tighter. Which is why you should never fully tighten a chain on a motorbike. As you sit on the bike, the swing arm will rise, with your weight. Using shorter suspension units will also cause the swing arm to raise. 🙏
Nicely done. I'll never sell my Fireball. 😉
Yep, I have major regrets about selling my Meteor 350. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand Mines for sale. Mint, just done the big 30k service. New chain and sprocket, oil air filters... 88k for you. She's been garaged since serviced. *Plough/CrapGame*
@@TrailHuntersThailand a good price. I’ll give you 50k 😂🙏
The bulit is not sold in the United States.
Ohhh really???? That is news to me. Probably not thirsty enough 🤣🙏
@Teacher-T-Thailand With speed limits of 80mph 350's are barely adequate for western states. I bought a Super Meteor 650 because it seemed the perfect balance between needed power and fule economy. I can hold 80mph going up gental hills wil easy, thusly keeping up with bigger bikes. The difference is I get up to 55 MPG while they get 40.
@@joshuathomas8529 you have minimum speed limits of 80mph? That’s news to me also, and seems a little crazy. 🤪
The Bullitt started reaching U.S. dealerships a few months ago but RE didn't announce it at all. I only knew they were here in the states by checking Cycle Trader
i appreciate if you arrange a video for Royal Enfield Hunter 350
I will look into it. 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand thank you
in india beltdrive costs around USD190
For the Meteor 350 maybe, bit not the 650. I don't think you have it available yet?
It might help to lower your insurance if its a reliable tracker
Or raise it if they can see your speed 😂🙏
Great Video! Very informative thanks
Thank you 🙏
Super meteor much apeel
Indeed. A very beautiful bike,the Meteor 650. 🙏
Nice👍just added a nice cheap tail tidy to mine
Definably need something on this bike 🙏
YT just recommended your channel to me. I'm just south of you in Phayao. I'm thinking of getting the SM 650 in October. I've never owned a cruiser. How does it handle on the mountain roads up here?
I had the Meteor 350 for 2.5 years. The mountains are the reason I upgraded to the 650. The 650 eats them up. Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai was always a dangerous trip I never looked forward to on a bike. Especially through the twisty mountain parts. Now a 3 hour trip is down to just over 2 and I love the twisty mountain parts now. Thanks for watching. Choc dee 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand Thanks for the quick reply.
Question of the day is “would yo swap?” 🤔
Ha ha. A good question. At 56 years young, I’ve now evolved to be a cruiser rider. In my younger years, yes I would have swapped. But now approaching my free bus pass, no. I’m happy with my meteor 650 now I have at long last solved the comfort issues. 🙏
When you live at a place that has highways, the Vulcan S is a FAR superior bike. Bikes don't have souls; it's the rider that adds the soul ingredient to the bike after the ignition is turned on. I also had the Vulcan S' siamese twin, the Versys 650. Same engine, just tuned differently. You can't beat Japanese quality motorcycles, period. P.S. You have to respect a bike manufacturer who builds a bike with the ability to configure it for short to tall people. That says something about Kawasaki's respect for its riders. My 36" inseams would not feel comfortable on any RE bike.
36" wow. Well jealous with my limited 28". It's the 180 degree engine that loses the soul for me. Apart from that, the Vulcan is a far superior bike in every way. Japanese efficiency at its best 🙏
would change your motorcycle for rebel 1100 with dct (if the money is not a problem) ?
Would I change? No. I don’t think so. 1100 a bit of a waste for me here on Thai roads. The 650 goes as fast as I want to go here. You never know when the next dog, cat, car or motorbike is going to pull out in front of you. I did have the rebel 500 for a year and did love it though. 🙏
Spectacular view of the mountains from the coffee shop. Looks like it was a fun weekend. Not really a fan of leather or canvas bags myself, precisely for the reason that water can start to seep through. It will be great if you can get the rain covers sorted. Those mounting bars do look quite sturdy, and that's a plus. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Personally I do love the looks of the bags. And so do a lot of walkers by, as they stop in their tracks to admire the bike. They give that retro look I like. The bags are waterproof lined apparently. Some one suggested rubbing dubbin into them. Rainy season will end in a couple months, the 7 months of dry again, All the best, Thanks for watching 🙏
Full set price
The link to the website and price is in the video description 🙏
Can't make any less power or be slower then my 2018 klr650 with 70 pounds of gear and my 260 pound ass sitting on it.i do 1,000 mile plus trips on this and am able to reach 90 with not much issue.
Sounds like you need a Royal Enfield in your life 😂🙏
@Teacher-T-Thailand been looking at the interceptor but my son likes the super meteor 650
@@MontanaDirtRoads I would listen to your son 😂👌
@@Teacher-T-Thailand he's not making the payments lol
See if you can lower seat a little? Or maybe you can buy a lower one?
Lowered the shocks now 🙏
You could choose lower rear shocks then take centre stand off and cut out appropriate amount then have it re welded. A friend of mine did that and said it was real simple to do.
Yep. Done now. Put lowered shock on. And just carry a small 20mm piece of wood to run the rear tyre over, to raise the bike so I can put it on the centre stand 😂🙏
Why not wear stilettos problem solved, you know you want to! 😂
I only need those for the new Himalayan 450 🙏
Great products, only the service is not what it used to be, in the last few months they made a decision not to market to everyone, Israel is one of the countries that bought a lot from them and suddenly the service and deliveries were stopped. It's a shame. I wrote several positive reviews about their products. I have almost 60 percent of their line. If someone wants a company with long-term service, they should look for another company.
Thanks for your comment. There may be other factors involved with politics playing a major role. All the best 🙏
@@Teacher-T-Thailand It could be, it's just a shame that they are erasing an entire area that confused them. everyone who asks, I honestly answer that the products are very high quality, and the whole idea of this company is the continuation line that you can choose a color and each time purchase another bag, another pouch, another wallet and everything will remain the same line and color. You know me from Facebook and Instagram, photos of riding with my Super Meteor always with their bags.
I bought a product from Trip Machine, I tried to contact them to ask a question but never received an answer. So I cannot recommend them.
I’m sorry to hear this. My experience has been totally the opposite. 🙏
My thought is that the way to protect from rain while parked up is to carry a water proof bike cover, whole or half, and throw it on the bike while parked. Also, anything critical absolutely must be kept in a true water proof bag inside the pannier. Otherwise, you are asking for disaster.
What a wonderful idea. I think the covers are for riding through the rain really. But yes if I had a whole bike cover for that 2 hours, I would have protected the bike as well as the bags. Looking into it 👌🙏
Hi Teacher T. Thank you for an honest review, just what we were looking for. Point taken on the rain covers. putting up two holes at the bottom for all new ones. its the first time we have developed something with a pannier rack and looks like the rain cover issue slipped our attention. The bags are lined thourgh out with rainproof material. The covers help in keeping the leather intact and keeping the zips that will let water through out of the way. But we will quickly get them on everything going out now. To answer the questions on the pannier rack breaking the chasis, it wont and to answer it in more technicality, will ask Autoengina (the manufacturers of the stays). Its been well tested and doesnt snap. The cases on the himalayan are different, but its best they answer it.
Thank you Trip Machine. I really did enjoy making this video. And now I get even more looks than ever while out on the bike, with those sexy saddle bags. There is one video floating around of an Indian guy breaking both his rear shocks, and RE blaming it on his saddle bag mounts attached to the top of the suspension. This is the concerns in the comments. I think the top bolts were over tightened, and were the cause of the issue, not the racks themselves. Which is why I think it’s a good idea to issue fitting instructions including torque settings for the bolts. 🙏
Hi Sid and Teacher T, Stays are designed to be mounted on static points of the chassis and mounting brackets do not interfere with the suspension's operation. Also Attaching stays on stock suspension bolt does not compromise the axial strength of the bolts. Similar stays are currently installed on over 500 Super Meteors, and we haven't received any complaints regarding their performance.
@@Teacher-T-Thailand I guess the videos of the chasis of the new himalayan breaking due to the engine guard being mounted on the chasis. RE claims they have broken since they were mounted it where the engine is also mounted. if there is another video, would like to see it and get this done. we do have installation video on the website :)
@@autoengina good to hear. Thank you 🙏
@@TripMachine this is the video people are referring to : kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKyfztttccfagqg.htmlsi=dwfBpNyaEMRPqCTa
Nothing should EVER be mounted on the shocker bolts, there was a guy who did that and his shocks snapped, that's an absolute NOOOOOO
1 video, that’s all it was. Please read the official trip machine response 🙏
If this is connected with rear shocker bolt....it will be an issue.
So people keep saying. I've seen the video. As long as the bolts have correct torque settings, there should be no issue. I'm happy to trial it ,🙏
Those bags do look the part; personally, I would never use rain covers on any luggage system. 'just smother them in Dubbin - plus, it adds a deeper, and more attractive hue to the standard camel-brown. A top mounting point to a suspension arm is problematical; perhaps find a sub-frame rail nearby. Your filming and editing skills continue to be exceptionally-stunning
I think as long as the top bolts are not overtightened all should be good. I'm suspicious of that video. Something doesn't add up with the story. Thanks though. The filming and editing is still on the learning curve 🙏
Nice video! A question: Don't you feel the wind blast on your shoulder and head without the windshield? I have been facing lot of this when I cross 80kmph.
No I don"t. I noticed it more with a windshield, as it focuses the blast right at your head. I happily to 120kph like this. But I do need a full face helmet 🙏
Oh ok! Thanks 👍
@@Teacher-T-ThailandExactly, this is exactly what I feel as well. With windshield I think I face more windblast on right my head.
WOW! I wish I went with you!
I'm glad I didn't go 😮 don't like riding in the rain! 🌧️
555 it was very wet 😂🙏
