The American bike market (and road system) is vastly different than much of the rest of the world. These are exactly the kind of questions riders here ask when learning to ride and faced with heavy 1200cc motorcycles and 115km/hr roads. This bike is an excellent option for those people who are intimidated by traditionally large American (or German) motorcycles. (350cc is a TINY engine in the US.) This video goes to show that it’s still capable. And no… it would not be legal here to put a third person on it. I’m sorry if this seems somehow offensive to you, but it’s been one of most well received videos we have in terms of people having questions. So you’re probably just not the intended audience for it. You probably are already well aware that it’s a capable size. But thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy riding 👍

This is a great example of the abilities of a small bike. And how much you can love that bike. I love this story! 💙 To be fair, not every road in the US is great, but most of them are. And on the freeways it’s common to do 120km/h +, that’s why the Meteor is not really a freeway bike. We use bigger engines so we don’t have to destroy the smaller engine that is always at its maximum. It’s also much smoother on a bigger engine that is working not as hard. But your point is well-made. And that was kind of the point of this video. You don’t have to have a huge bike to really enjoy or to get yourself where you need to go.

A lot of different thoughts on that. My thought is that it keeps the engine from telling you its flaws until it’s out of warranty. Most racing mechanics will tell you to give it the gas to seat the rings and seals well. Listen to your engine. See how it feels. Take it easy when you need to, ride it like you stole it when you feel like it. And realize you have a 3 yr warranty (which is void if you don’t do the first scheduled service). Royal Enfields are “Built like a Gun” right 😉.

@motopicnic7 ай бұрын
This is a great question. I don’t know how heavy you are or how much luggage you would bring but it all factors in. The thing about taking the bike to its max is that, yes, it will wear faster and it won’t be as smooth as a big bore bike that is not working as hard to hold speed. You can absolutely ride with your buddies, but they might outrun you at times and you’re not going to have the extra power to zoom out of the way in traffic once you’re at freeway speeds. But can it be done? Absolutely. And if you ask Becky, she’ll tell you it can be done comfortably, but she wants a little more power when we’re going up the mountains and there are hills. She did get a more powerful Himalayan, and noticed the difference, but she’s so comfortable on that Meteor, that she still chooses that on long rides. I would not be afraid to go ride with your friends and just see how it goes. But if you end up doing every ride like that, you’ll probably want to get a bigger bike eventually. But if you commute back-and-forth to work and occasionally do a long freeway ride, then your meteor is probably a fantastic bike to keep. As for Becky and I, we choose not to take freeways when we can because we find that there’s more to see, and the roads are more fun to ride with a few curves. The meteor has plenty of power to do that with.

I’ve enjoyed all your videos but this one really is not correctly teaching the proper way to lift any bike. You should ALWAYS back up to the bike grabbing the down side handlebar and the seat rail to evenly distribute the weight. Then starting with your knees bent, walk backwards lifting the bike as your legs straighten. Lifting the bike facing it like Becky did can lead to serious injury. Ride safe and keep up the good work.
