Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Highway / Hill Pass / Walkaround

[@Cj-nu7nx]

What roads with little traffic in many areas!! Amazing! This bike is solid! It's not hugely powerful but what it has is usable and more than ample and fun! Deserves more attention! 👍

.. it was about lunch time on a normal working day + summer vacation time.. so everyone was pretending to be working, or somewhere on holiday. Yup, that right, it is a lovely bike. All enfields are. I like em. Wanna try the Shotgun in near future. And also the Himalayan is on my to do list.

I test drove one here in San Diego and put a deposit on one just like the bike you were driving. It should arrive late December or early January God willing.😎

[@tomasprzeworski]

Nice, happy for you, you gonna love it! It is a nice looking, solid bike. In San Diego you can ride bikes all year, I am a little bit jealous, couse I am also waiting for my new ride to arrive in the same timeframe like yours, but it's going to be awfully cold here then, so I'll be looking at it until April :D

@@tomasprzeworski i have celestial blue and i would highly recommend to buy that version as the seating comfort is much better.

Much Better on Traffic Or Long Drive....?

[@tomasprzeworski]

I would say somewhere in between. After two hours my butt was stiff and hurt like after all day ride. That is a huge negative to me. Not light weight, but small and nimble, it can handle the traffic in the city in between cars. Its a cruiser, the bike likes 90 km/h, going faster - yes, the bike can, but you can feel that the bike doesnt like it.

So how was the pick up, breaking, road handling of the bike?

[@tomasprzeworski]

Hi, the bike isnt mine, I borrowed it couple of times from local dealer to try it out because I like how it looks and sounds and I wanted to know how it performs on daily routine. It was already broken in. I am 180cm tall and 100 kilograms heavy and after 3 hours journey my back started to hurt, the sitting position (which I am absolutely not used to) feels unnatural to me. Cant imagine to sit on it all day long and travel longer distances. Engine is smooth and performs linear in all revs. It is not the strongest one, but for cruisin around it is just enough. The gearbox is awesome, usually when I shift to first gear, the bike jerks a bit forward, but not on this one. It is also kinda missing the engine braking, downshifting does not slow down the bike much. The bike is little heavier as I am used to but on curvy roads..I was a bit shy about it, but it can handle curves well. In third gear I can both go slow and accelerate out of the turn. On highway the engine felt stressed, above 120km/h it started to vibrate significantly more than I am used to. But again, it is a cruiser, it feels great to cruise on it while going around 90 km/h. The brakes arent the best, but they do the job. Overall in my opinion - the bike is very gentle, decent looking, great sounding joy generating toy that doesnt cost that much. Would I buy one? Not really, I am more into practical bikes, but as a second or third bike to chill on during weekend.. Can only recommend to try it out.

@@tomasprzeworski do you prefer interceptor than super meteor?

[@tomasprzeworski]

​@@canalgeracaoinvestidores If I had to choose one, it would be the super meteor, interceptor is like all the other regular bikes. But next year, I need a new bike and it is going to be Tracer 9 GT
