Royal Enfield Meteor 350 - 100 mile of Fun - Wahoo! Ride of the Week 18

[@MrJ6504]

Hello from Quito, Ecuador. I changed my Continental GT 535 for this Meteor 350, I must say it is a great bike to ride, easy, very manuverable and very good looking. At my age going down from 535 to 350 has been a great choice... I will keep you posted. The Lone Hawk

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love both those bikes and have a GT 535 here in the Fuzzy Biker Garage. The 350 is a fabulous motorcycle. Congratulations!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

The best!

Been watching yours and all the classic 350 riders vlogs and reviews. Last week went for a test ride. This week I'm picking up a spanking new Red and Chrome one. Totally agree these are great bikes with mountains of character. Its the soul of the machine not the engine size nor the physical size that makes a fantastic bike. And the Classic 350 for me is the best bike I've ridden since my Matchless CSR days. Thanks for your pointing me towards these beautiful cycles.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

These are wonderful machines. I really wanted the Red/Chrome but knew it was too nice for the type of rider I am. A beautiful machine like that needs someone that will keep her clean. Congratulations! Wahoo!

[@dereksmith1001]

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Beautiful machine :-)

[@leemoreno7435]

Even the brown looks good

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Beautiful!

Great review and spot on! I realized early in the video that i just purchased that Meteor 350 from Baxter cycle. Mark was great. I put 300 miles on, in 5 days!!!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

You got yourself a great bike. Wahoo!

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Jimmiy cricket Fuzzy! Cannot even begin to imagine you missed the scram. Thats what caught my eye couple years ago. ( I'll have the main course of perpetual motion and a side order of Zen to go with my ride please!)😂 Stay Fresh!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Have got to get a 100 mile ride on that wonderful Scram 411. Wahoo!

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Brill ride out! 1st service done on my Himmy (Ronin). Def think rides better but need to get to 1000ish... 2 weeks and am adv riding! Mirrors bit low on the Himalayan for me might have to change those.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

The Himalayan is a wonderful motorcycle. Have you been on much gravel with the bike?

[@MauriceTarantulas]

@@forgottenmotorcycles Ride through it to get into the garage quite thick. Plus have an unmade road... Abr festival has a beginners track etc..gonna try film. Need to get organised!!! (My dealership will be on the enfield stand..its one of the oldest motorcycle dealerships in Uk) Temps here gone up so need to get out camping etc, trial runs in the heat.

[@MegaGrumpyoldman]

Great video bought a 350 Meteor to replace my 350 kick start Bullet lovely wee bike as well but just too slow max 45 MPH the new Meteor is perfect for the hill here in Co Antrim N Ireland

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Really a beautiful machine. Enjoy the ride. Wahoo!

[@ScooterintheSticks]

A nice review of the Meteor. I've never warmed to them as I have to the Classic 350. I've talked to a couple of Meteor owners who love them but I remain distant. It's probably the looks and that ZEN factor you speak of that keeps me focused on the Classic 350. And considering the fact that I am not a long distance rider any "discomfort" that may arise is probably a non-issue. As you review other motorcycles I think you are going to have to always include a ZEN factor assessment now!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks. I'm thinking that the Classics "shortcomings" are actually its most desirable features. Minimalist instrumentation...frees the rider from watching the dials keeping one outside the bike. The bike disappears when sitting on her..rider feels free when rolling down the road. I like the Meteor but love the Classic. Wahoo!

[@rickiejacobs5910]

My mom’s family was from Greenfield. So visiting my grandmother we pass that rock before it became the Freedom Rock. Used to be like a Greenfield high school graduation classes put the graffiti so to speak on it.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Hot dang!

[@jimmydickson8854]

It’s a nice bike ,what do you think if it had a 450 engine in it just to give it a little bit more power for hills and freeway any comments out there on this ,jimmy Australia

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Would love to see that 🙂

[@mklschwrtz2]

Black Meteor, bar-end mirrors, remove the pillion seat, a small tinted windshield. That's what my goal would be if I would get myself a Meteor. Might sound a bit bland but damn I imagine it would be awesome, even if the Meteor isn't really my style.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I"m thinking that sounds great! Wahoo!

[@rickhill6277]

Are the Fenders Plastic?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Yes, I believe they are. The classic 350 is metal fenders.

[@kevindarkstar]

​@@forgottenmotorcycles which is why the classic 350 is the heaviest of the 350s

[@adamlanglois563]

How do you feel this bike stacks up to a Vstar 250 for an around town secondary bike?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

1st, Really like that Vstar 250. 2nd, love this amazing RE 350. Both bikes would do well, I personally like the RE 350 better.

[@kevindarkstar]

That led ring on the headlight is completely useless, as the headlight comes on as soon as you start the engine, so it serves no purpose

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm told that in some markets the headlight does not turn on and this little light meets local law requirements. Not in the USA though.

[@furryhenry]

With all due respect, it would have been nice to listen to the engine note on the road for a while, not your constant chatter.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo
