Great video. Love the Cheese humour! 😂 Importantly, all major potential bike decisions were very positive! As a mid weight crusier for just riding along, cafe riding and the odd blatt up the freeway, it seems to tick all boxes. Return to riders (older, like me) looking for a lazy bike cruiser with a slim budget, looks perfect! Or at least perfect for me. 😅 Also loved the architecture in the scenery in the video. Nice work Mate! How many km's did you get from the full tank of fuel?

Thanks! I really appreciate this comment! Thanks for the kind words! The bike is really good! Not a cheap bike at all. There were some small niggles but I bought bikes twice as much which got more bad points than this. I did not get it to zero and I did a ride of 265km at least! So more than enough range!

Great video Dankjewel! A couple of points I'd like to make. The Super Meteor does in fact have a slipper clutch, and you are correct Royal Enfield is actually older than Harley Davidson, RE started in 1901 and HD in 1902. I love this bike in fact I have one on order. Greetings from Tasmania 😀

This bike wins me over more w/every review. Sat on it when they first arrived, but it was so much beefier in every way compared to my CBR300R. Couldn't gel. I felt so tiny on it. But with a season slipping under my belt, the Honda is now feeling small/ lacking power Time to revisit. Get down with the cruiser life. If still on the fence, GT650. For certain a RE is in my future.

😃👍🏻 Super goede review. En mooie beelden over de Hollandse wegen. Ik kan me absoluut vinden in de punten die je noemt. Door drukte heb ik er nog maar 375km op gereden en mijn vrouw nog ietsje minder maar elke km was genieten. Ik ben er nog niet over uit of ik er een scherm op wil. Had ik wel op mijn HD en daar reed ik altijd met vizier open en zonder oordoppen. Nu moet het vizier altijd dicht en wel doppen in tegen het wind geruis. Koffers wil ik er eigenlijk nog wel op hebben. Btw. De usb aansluiting achter de linker deksel werkt perfect. Mijn Garmin heb ik gevoed via een kabel in de koplamp. 😎

I'm waiting for RE to produce their KX 838 'Bobber', it is based on the RE's 1938 KX 1140, but it has modern styling. It's 838cc liquid cooled V-twin motor produces 90 hp and 100 Nm of torque, so it is almost twice as powerful as the Super Meteor 650. I'm sure that if Royal Enfield produced the KX 838 'Bobber' it would be an instant hit in Europe.

Hi Droommotor - lovely video, sorry you didnt get your Gouda cheese. (Spoiler alert) I am a 350 meteor owner and utterly love it. Am considering this 650 too. Two comments for you .. having used the Tripper for a year its fine if your going from city to city - but if you are navigating to a street in a busy area its positively useless. Also the USB power supply doesnt have enough power to keep an iphone navigating. It will just die eventually. Otherwise great bikes.
