Planning on signing up for the Basic Riding Course at the local Community College (as I haven't been on a motorcycle in about 35 years). Like you, I was inspired by Noraly with the Himalayan, but based on the riding I would be doing the Meteor makes so much more sense. I enjoy your rides and commentary on the bikes. Your enthusiasm for riding certainly comes through. Stay safe and sane!

Ronin, I'm really HAPPY for you buying the Meteor 350; that's great! BTW, I have the yellow Meteor. I not only like the color of it; I also like the blacked out look. I like everything about the bike that you do, and I like them for the same reason. As someone who just turned 60, I don't need or want to go fast anymore. I had faster bikes when I was younger; I've been there, done that, and lived to tell about it, TYVM! The Meteor goes as fast as I care to go on two wheels anymore. As for the Classic 350, I'm thinking of getting one of those too. Not only does the bike share the same GEM of an engine with the Meteor; it's freakin' GORGEOUS! RE really nailed the look; they made a modern bike, while making it look as though it came from the late 1940s-early 1950s. Anyway, I shall anxiously await your videos about the Classic 350... :)

Congrats on becoming a Meteor 350 owner. Welcome to the club! ✌️ I can’t wait to see what modifications you present us. I’ve got an appointment to get my 500km checkup and I’ll be having the boys at my local dealership throw on the Air Fly-evo Engine Guard while they’re at it. 2:46 I love root beer. Hires=No. 1…not as syrupy as A&W. Birch beer? Love it. Cream soda? Bring it on!

Good morning, Sir! Great to hear you're making the Meteor your own. To my knowledge, RE doesn't offer an OEM rear rack but I'm very pleased with the GIVI rack purchased from Hitchcock's. The GIVI is nice quality and fits perfectly. I've just installed a GIVI monolock hard case. It's 29L and available from Dennis Kirk. Cool thing, it's easily removable with no tools and carries like a suitcase. Also ordered a separate monolock base from Amazon for the Interceptor to be able to switch the case easily between the two bikes. The case is good quality and looks great too. Not too big or small. Once again, your Meteor review is spot-on. Thank you for always offering excellent advice and opinions.

I've had my eyes on the Himalayan for a while now and we just picked up the meteor for my wife and she loves it! I have an iron 883 so it was her turn to get a motorcycle. Between the different road conditions videos, the return review videos, and how widely you covered the meteor, you're definitely the one who sold us on it. Thank you!

Also glad to see you doing more RE content in the future. I keep trying to tell myself I don’t need an Interceptor (yet). If the Meteor can hit 70mph with no problem that should take care of my occasional need to get on the highway out here on the West coast. PS: saw the little guy go by at 10:24

I have had my meteor for about two months and really love the bike for what it is simple no nonsense transport that is fun to ride. The only bits I don’t like are the tool kit and the brakes in the wet both of which are easy fixes. As to the cost of petrol ordinary unleaded is $7.50 per us gallon and super is $8.00 ish per US gallon in the UK $4 would be an amazingly cheap price to pay.

Hi Ronin. Your enthusiasm for the brand is a beautiful thing. I have a Classic 500 and that bike is a keeper. I call it HG Wells as it's my time machine. I sat on a Meteor 350 a couple of weeks back at the Scottish Motorcycle Show in Edinburgh and it felt really comfortable. Chatting with one of the dealers who told me she had orders in for forty Royal Enfields. I'm trying to persuade my wife to go for her motorcycle licence and I would buy her a Meteor 350, being a gentleman I would need to make sure that it was ran in properly for her. If you think gas your side of the pond is expensive at $4 a gallon ours works out at around $11 a gallon for 99 octane premium, which is what I run the bikes on. Our gallon is larger but not by much. Keep up the great content, always a pleasure watching your posts.

Thank you for your prompt and sincere reply, my plan is to keep using the Meteor until the dealer can no longer ignore the issue, I also have a Continental GT535 and a CB300R which I am resting up a while now to see how things develop with the Meteor, ( I've done 50,000kms on the CB and 12,000kms on the GT in the last 3 years). All the other Meteors I've listened to sound nothing like mine, hot or cold, they tend to be reasonably quiet for air/oil cooled engine, anyway, thanks again, take care

Hey Old Man Ronin, thanks for sharing your experience with the Royal Enfield Meteor. I've been riding since I was eleven and I just turned 67. I sold my last Harley last year and am really missing having a motorcycle. I don't need a big heavy bike that I can ride cross country, or one that will run 75-85 on the interstate. I need a small commuter bike to run around town or maybe 40 miles to my part time job. The Royal Enfield seems to be something to really consider. On thing I like is the price and that it's not covered in a plastic shroud, so it should be easy to do standard maintenance and some simple repairs. Thanks, Old Man Johnson

Hi great video review of the Meteor. Like you I have a Supernova and love it. Agree a back rack as standard would be great. I have modified my bike a little by making some extension brackets for the backrest. The idea was to move the backrest 3 inches away from the back of the rear seat. This has worked well creating a more comfortable ride two up.

I fitted some Bike Tek Diablo throwover panniers to my Meteor. Hitchcocks UK say you don't need pannier racks for these. There is a lot of strappage so I plan to leave them on permanently. The only problem is the straps across the rear saddle only tighten up tight and neat if they pass across the top of the grabrail, making it difficult to hold on to the rail when putting on main stand. I am getting a little chrome Royal Enfield grab handle which fits to the top of the rear forks. I don't think this will work that well and may end up bolting it to the existing grabrail.

Enjoying your vids thanks OMR. I own an Int650 in the UK, which is also a solid motorcycle. Not really sure the Meteor would work over here though due to the way the rider capacity rules are set up (new riders have to ride 14bhp until they pass their A2 test, but can then go up to 47bhp). Looking forward to your thoughts on the 650s.

I believe that those faster comments are based on the fact that there is a lot of bikes around the 300 to 400 size which are capable of doing up to 100 mph and certainly 30 years ago 250cc bikes could easily hit the ton, so a brand new 350 which will only do 75mph is why people say that it should be capable of 80+

About the Brazilian trick, its not really a trick actually, the dealerships called all meteor 350 owners for a ecu remap due the Brazilian unic pump gas we have over here (with 27% of ethanol mix)... So with this remap we gained 10km/h on the final speed and the motorcycle itself its a lil more awake over the low to mid rev range.

If you ever get the chance to compare the Meteor side-by-side with the Classic, do you think the Meteor fuel tank would fit on the Classic? I like the classics front guard shape and the foot peg position, but then I prefer the Meteor fuel tank and handlebars. It would be good if RE gave us the option to choose these items. It would be even better if they gave us the option of a longer and higher frame for those of us of a taller disposition.

RE make a very good right hand box pannier for the Meteor which I already have. Unfortunately they don't (yet) make a left hand one. This is because pillion riders in India are often women and they ride sidesaddle because they wear saris. LOL! I'm told there's a left hand pannier on the way, which I'll buy. If I was doing longer distance over night riding I would remove the pillion seat and put a luggage rack in its place. The mounting points are already there, so it's an easy thing to do (I might even make one myself). This would be better than a luggage rack because it would put the weight further forward.

By the way have you checked the link I send you about the Bluroc V Bob 250, it looks really nice and I learned that the engine is a Yamaha v twin, I will try to have a test ride,and also the Meteor just to compare them. And I will not enter the giveaway this time as I have one Airmoto already (great stuff indeed) and thus I will give the others a chance to win it.

G'day Ronin, good think you have done this review of the 350cc, want my wife to view, last time riding with the pillion princess she indicated that she wanted to ride my 650 Interceptor as it's such a good looking bike, she rides a 250 Honda scooter and has never wanted to ride any of my British bikes, and l think the 350 would suit her, of course it would be her choice, and l could just buy another 650, Cheers mate, keep safe, Neil 🤠.

Super meteor 650 comming soon in India. 🇮🇳 I believe Americans would love TATA motors if TATA launch its vehicles in America and other countries. TATA building safest vehicles with 5 star safety rating in India.

$4 a gallon? Is that all? $3 a litre here for 95 RON $2.75 a litre for 91. And it's going up, the Ukraine situation has pushed crude north in a hurry. Makes the RE economy really hit home. And you get the benefits of riding great bikes too.

I think its a fantastic bike to learn to really ride. That means, on the road, the gravel roads and also off road. Just realize you will drop it so be prepared.

Hi, my name is Chris, I bought a Meteor 350 about 7 months ago, I have just had the 5000km service, maybe you can help me, the engine on my bike is quiet when it is cold, but after 5 minutes of running it gets very noisy, there is slight knocking and a very audible rumble from the left side of the engine, I have complained to Royal Enfield, but they assure me it's normal and not to worry as the bike has a 3 year warranty, could you confirm if your bike is similar to this, thank you, kind regards

I simply can't nor won't diagnose issues without being on the bike. I hope you appreciate this. Internet experts always offer their opinions, but in reality, you simply must ride the bike and do a full "hands-on" diagnosis to check out issues or possible problems. If the factory rep or dealer has checked it out and say no issue, then feel secure in what they say, for it's their butts now if something is wrong! I hope this reassures you a bit. I have had ZERO issues with either the Himalayan or The Meteor 350 and have thousands of miles on both! Cheers Chris all will be well!

Yesterday the Meteor had its first service and when I left the shop and got on the freeway, it seemed different, it just seemed to purr at 65 and still had more power. I'm still trying to figure out how to move the controls forward about 6 inches; I wonder if It's possible to adapt the forward controls of the Triumph Bobber to the meteor and lower the seat.

@@OlManRonin And the Honda Rebel 500 has a similar fuel consumption to the Meteor 350 if not lower, depending on the rider's way of riding and it's way more powerful for its fuel consumption. What's the point of having a 350cc motorcycle that it has just a bit more power than a 125cc?? Confort, maybe?
