I am a 70 year old woman living in the UK. I have a 350 Meteor that I love and ride regularly. Great bike !!!! I would have a Super Meteor without any hesitation if I had the money. Unfortunately, being retired and only on the pathetic state pension doesn't allow any chance of me having a Super Meteor. As it is, I used up my savings to treat myself to the 350 Meteor. Totally worth it !!!! So, to answer your question, the Super Meteor every time.

I’m a retired man and have been riding an Interceptor 650 for the past 2 years. With a handlebar riser and an improvised seat, long distance riding is alright but has space for improvement. I’ll be trying the super meteor once it is available for a test ride near me. But listening here to the performance on rough roads, I might be reluctant to change I have ridden Himalayan in Leh Ladakh last year and found it to be the best one for me.

Interceptor 650 any day. I have done Nepal, Sikkim (Gurudongmar lake & Zero point), leh / Ladakh besides many other road trips. On road & off road Interceptor rules. High ground clearance, sturdy spoke wheels make it suitable for off road. I never had any problems. Yes, I did replace Interceptor seat with GT 650 seat which is more comfortable, added Gold Runway GR50X auxiliary lights, installed barkbusters and added 2nos 5 litres petrol tanks- one on each side on leg guards, raised handle bar besides other touring essential accessories. These additions make Interceptor more touring friendly.

Suspension buffers would ruin the stance, dynamics and the comfort to a huge extent. The reason stock suspension is stiff to begin with is to address the low GC by limiting sagging. You'll be better off with an INT650 if you don't come across smooth tarmac. Cruisers aren't meant for Indian roads.
