Hello from the Netherlands, after 50 years of motorcycling ao Jawa, NSU MAX, Harley WLA 750, Suzuki Intruder 700, Suzuki Intruder 1400, Yamaha 1100, Honda Shadow 600, Harley Sportster 883 and 1200, Harley Fxrs 1988, Harley WLA 750 now after 5 years ago, at the age of 74, a Royal Enfield 350 had been bought, the black one. I fell in love with this all-new model instantly, and what a great bike I've already ridden 1000 kilometers with pleasure and every kilometer is a party. The bike steers very easily every corner can be taken smoothly, everything works great and it looks great, a nice rumble from the exhaust as an extra. Both on the highway and on the back roads no problem at all, oh yes, at my age and after a car accident I can't move my right leg over the passenger backrest, so it was quickly removed. Can highly recommend this motorcycle to anyone who genuinely loves motorcycling, greetings from the Netherlands from Rob

It's simple enough to do your own maintenance. Soon after I got my Meteor 350, my recently retired neighbor across the street got himself one after downsizing from a big bike... :)

In Canada, we have plenty of gorgeous back roads with a 80km/h speed limit, and this bike would be a blast there. If I was into cruisers I'd buy this tomorrow but I'm into sportbikes.... for now.

Hi Branden, I ride my Meteor in the southern Adelaide foothills. Similar roads to yours with speed limits 80 to 100kmh. This bike will set very good point to point times, handling and sharp turning allow fast entry into a corner, turn and full gas out. Hard to believe it only has 20 hp. I also have a 650 Interceptor, but now find I'm having more fun on the Meteor. Food for thought. Cheers from Australia.

Gotta say I'm pretty glad the Meteor is my first bike, it's been great to learn on and even at 6'1" it's been very comfortable to ride (and no I'm not getting paid to write this, hah!). I think there's still a bit of a lingering reputation of the shoddy builds from earlier rattlers though, some dealers have lectured me about the allegedly poor quality of RE, but since they came out with the 650 twins I reckon they've been kicking solid goals - I kinda want a Himalayan now as well for the weekend camping trips!

Excellent video, I passed my A2 a few months ago. I subsequently purchased the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I can honestly say I adore this bike. As a first bike, it's been amazing. Obviously, I live in the UK, and I've not found it a problem at all. It sits happily at 65mph on the motorway, and I've done three hour road trips multiple times it just cruises along happily. It's also great for a sunday ride on the country roads. Couldn't recommend this bike enough for beginer riders like myself.

The thing with this bike or any RE is that it will allow you to look at scenery around you, admire the beauty of nature, look at beautiful sunsets and lets you sunk in all of this because unlike those huge V-twins cruiser or liter class cornering demons on which you have to be concentrated on the road continuesly or you might crash, on a RE you can relax, Take a look around, you don't have to put 100% of concentration on riding and riding it doesn't take a toll on your body. Most of the moto journalists have a same scale to mark every bike... Can it corner, what's the top speed, what's the acceleration etc... etc... They need to understand there are bikes made to do different kind of stuff so rank them on the basis of it. Do not bring up topics like top speed or acceleration when talking about RE because you don't bring up topic of seating comfort while talking about a R1

I'm the proud owner of one! I have been since September, 2021, soon after they came to the US. As a retired person, I like the Meteor 350. It's easy to move around, an important consideration for my arthritic knees. It's easy on the wallet, another important consideration when you're on a fixed income. Finally, it's simple enough to do most of your own maintenance, which helps reduce running costs. BTW, the Meteor 350 is my 12th bike; though it's not the biggest I've ever owned, it's among the best I've ever had. I LOVE IT!

My current bike is 38 y.o. so horsepower and technology are not my main concern. I do a lot of miles in all weather and need reliability and low cost. I was considering the Meteor but one thing that was not mentioned in your review that I fund from another channel, is the fact that it requires service every 6 months and service intervals in mileage are quite short. I appreciate channels that include this kind of information.

Yeah, the service is more frequent, but it's easy to do; you can do most of it yourself. The valves are dead easy. They're screw & locknut, which anyone in the world can work on; even an owner who knows his way around a toolbox can do them. They're not the PITA shim & bucket found on most Big Four bikes.

Just ordered myself a Fireball to replace an unreliable ER6n. I only use it for a short ride to work and occasional errands. The price was right for me and although I was worried it would be too slow compared to the Kawasaki after a demo I was sold. I’m not a thrill seeker so the performance was perfectly adequate for me, I found the seating position surprisingly comfy after dismissing it when they first came out as I’d started on a scooter and didn’t feel safe with my feet forward, it turned out my issue was the lack of anything between my knees. Picking it up on Tuesday, can’t wait.

@@twpsyn take a look at the 1950’s Royal Enfield 500 twin. The frame is completely different then the modern interceptor. That is what they should try to reproduce. Make the engine bore smaller and keep the stroke the same length to give the engine low down torque instead of higher horsepower. I doubt a classic pushrod 500cc single is returning due to stricter emissions regulations and vibration issues. Greetings from a fellow UCE 500 rider.

I hate that people use a bike “not having rider aids and electronics” as a mark against it, or to say that its cheap. I cant stand rider modes, all the electronic crap etc on modern bikes. It gets to the stage where its like people are forgetting what the appeal of a motorbike is to begin with.

@@enclave3908 i tend to disagree a bit, Today ABS system are not that intrusive and unfortunately today’s traffic have increased a lot , sometimes its not how you ride but how other stupid cagers drive and when i had my Cb500f the ABS was a life saver on 2 Oh sh€&t moments. On other small displacement like a 125cc i don’t mind if its with or without because i go really slow and chill out at 60km/h max, especially in the hot summer days. But for the rest i agree about the other rider aids, nowadays i see them as an excuse to raise prices on motorcycles which they are already a bit too much.

i love the looks of this new model and allready own an 650 interceptor but the one thing i notice about these review video's is that most of them are done on reasonably flat mediocre roads, and none, what i've seen, are done in the yorkshire dales, or similar areas where there are hills a plenty and some of the roads are in poor condition , as this area is on my doorstep and where i do most of my riding and the fact that i'm knocking on a bit ( 71 and been riding since 16 ) and don't do long runs anymore, and that i'm used to riding bikes with a bit more grunt, i.e 50bhp and above i'm worried that if i bought one i would be dissapointed with the hill climbing abillity of this 20bhp bike, i'm not chasing speed anymore like i was at 16 so the top speed ( 70 mph claimed ) would not be a problem and i could use one of my other bikes if i needed to go further or faster but the thought is still there, would it do the job, ?

People say these are slow and yes they are but you can sit at 70 mph all day and with the amount of traffic, smart motorways and cameras everywhere it's not really possible to go fast anymore. I've been riding for over 37 years and I think it is a good option. I remember touring on old (now) 550cc bikes from the 1970s. I do think some get brainwashed into thinking they need a massive, fast heavy bike to have fun.

Lovely looking bike but seems to be crazy underpowered.. Can't believe it gets such few horses out of the 350 engine. I ride a Honda CB300R which is technically a 286cc engine and it still knocks out about 31bhp, easily climbing to the 95mph mark before fully running out of steam. Still, speed isn't everything and it looks to be an ideal commuter with head turning looks. (Especially for the RRP.) 👌

Sounds good. Looks good. And has quite a bit of heft to it which certainly adds to the feel of a solidly built bike (actually thought it was bigger than 350cc when I first laid eyes on it). Not sure it’s a Uk 🇬🇧 market bike but I really do wish RE well with it here. It’ll definitely appeal to the Virago 250/350 brigade!
