Is the Meteor 350 Fast Enough? My First Group Ride I Royal Enfield Riders of Tauranga/Coromandel

[@ChadWinters]

I love my meteor, its my first bike, in my early 50s. There's still about 10% of me that wants something that can cruise at 80 on the motorway, but the rest is like "you don't need to go that fast old man"

[@endroholic7161]

old Man? C’mon Sir. When you sit on a bike, Youre always a young soul. Pull that throttle down and talk to the winds(Always under safety) Happy riding

[@BenDevery]

Bro great thoughts 💭 I’m all about the cruise also.

[@GlennO1961]

Early 60s here and Meteor owner since 2 years and I agree with the “10%”. The other 90% is pure, laidback enjoyment ✌️

[@jajtonjuntilla]

Love the comfort ride of meteor 350

[@BenDevery]

Super comfortable! After about an hour though I start to feel a little stiff and in the need of a pie/coffee haha

[@amarg2199]

100km easily. Should be good enough. Just bought meteor. Butter smooth engine.

[@BenDevery]

Awesome! Keep in touch, let me know how it goes!

[@thomwert]

Great video of the ride Ben. Was so glad my woopsy wasn't caught on camera. 😂

[@BenDevery]

Thanks Thom! Haha 😝

[@arbaaz360]

I like the roads you guys are on, such diverse flora. Keep posting sir.

[@BenDevery]

Thanks for that! NZ is a beautiful place. Will keep it up!

[@WaihiRider]

Good Job Ben, see on the next ride.

[@BenDevery]

Can't wait!

[@ptysiallo]

I own a meteor 350 in UK and love the bike but already got a speeding ticket so my thoughts are I definitely don't need a faster bike!

[@BenDevery]

@ptysiallo hahaha how fast were you going over the limit? No ticket for me yet ... (fingers crossed).

[@ptysiallo]

Only 36 in 30 mile zone bro, pathetic!

[@tobirw]

Well, nice bike and for solo riding ofc enough. But for group riding, its in mountains on his limits. I think 400ccm and 27 ps would not be bad. In this case the other riders have gone slow and smooth, so if they had gone normally they had to wait sometimes. Atleast in Germany there are many roads with 100kmp and more also in mountains. If have a road with 80kmph allowed, the riders go mostly 90 kmph and in the mountains thats not possible with the meteor.

Hi Ben, nice bikes, nice landscape and a nice weather. The only thing I am missing is a cool beer when the ride is finished. Greetings from Germany Claus

[@BenDevery]

Hi Claus! Thanks for the comment, sorry you missed out on the beer but glad you enjoyed the video!

[@WaihiRider]

Hi Ben, Claus is an old friend of mine from Germany. He does a lot of videos, mainly traveling videos but all in German.@@BenDevery

Great ride Ben, cheers from Wanganui RE Riders

[@BenDevery]

Thanks Robert! 😎

[@arkadiuszk.3898]

Greetings from Europe. We still have winter. Cold, wind and rain or snow.

[@BenDevery]

Greetings! Sheesh … stay warm!

[@GlennO1961]

Great ride, Ben 👍✌️

[@BenDevery]

Thanks! 👍

[@AREA-sr5tn]

Hey, thanks for the meteor videos, I couldn't find much for this model. In fact, this brand is for the first time in Turkey. It will be difficult for service support but I really like the look of this bike. Is there too much vibration? What is the quality of peace? Should I choose Super Meteor 650 or Meteor 350? Is there much difference? Is it worth the price difference?

[@BenDevery]

Bro, definitely check out the Super Meteor 650 … I reckon if you have the budget, it’s worth the upgrade for sure. I’m saying that, I love my Meteor 350. No excessive vibration that I’ve noticed? 300cc is a lot of difference. I recently rode one and really enjoyed it, if I had the finance I would upgrade for sure. More power, heavier build, comfortable seat and riding position. Other than that it feels more or less the same!

[@mikehatswell3961]

Cracking ride Ben, fabulous route and your so lucky with the weather, here in Scotland it’s cold,wet and miserable, outer wise known as winter 🥶 but summer isn’t too far away 🤞and I get a stellar blue in March so good things to come, all the best buddy 👍

[@BenDevery]

Sorry to hear the weathers gloom hopefully the video gives you some hope for summer! Thanks for the comment and cool that you are getting a Meteor!☄️

[@rupamkotra1974]

How is around hillocks and steep gradients? Are there intrusive power loss in those conditions? As far as I know the torque at the rear wheel of re meteor 350≈ 24.5Nm for 191+ kg including accessories.

[@BenDevery]

It does just fine! That climb up the kaimais is quite steep in places. Climbs nicely in 4th at 80kmph.

[@siddharthdesai6801]

I have Himalayan live in Auckland

[@BenDevery]

Nice. Went on a group ride with a guy who loves his Himalayan. How long you had it for?

[@siddharthdesai6801]

3yrs

[@siddharthdesai6801]

We should catch up mate

[@user-dn8ip4gm2m]

Nice video Ben 350 meteor is fast enough not supposed to go more than 100 anyway

[@BenDevery]

Totally, easy and great for cruising :)

[@WaihiRider]

you tell the others...

[@Pinkudeepsa]

Don't take fast royal Enfield made for relaxing 😎

[@BenDevery]

True that!
