@@zainabkhan2475 yes. From Australia. I rode a Himalayan in Bhutan. Loved it. I want to buy the Meteor when it comes out as a 650 (hopefully soon). Bikes in Australia need to cruise comfortably at 110km per hour because of the freeways. I think the meteor 350 likes 90km per hour as a comfortable speed. Do you think the meteor 650 will come out soon? And do you think it won't be straining at 110km per hour?

RE has definately made improvement compared to its previous 350 cc engine and I appreciate their efforts... Finally we get a less vibration engine and quality has been improved to survive the market! But when compared to Honda CB350, an unexpected competitor for RE, RE has to work a lot hard on refinement and performance! ✌️✌️✌️

[@kamleshkumaryadav1274]

Cult fan following of RE is 30+ age group who had already have a RE bikes 🏍. Now RE have to designed their as per their future customers 18+ age group, the current teenager likes bikes 🏍 with retro look with all modern features. But RE right now is focusing on their profit maximising not giving basic features to bikes 🏍. It's 2020 still RE bullet standard doesn't have a fuel gauge while In BS6 model their no fuel nob so that we can adjust petrol from main to reverse. The low fuel ⛽ indicator also doesn't works properly. Meteor 350 has some modern day features likes bluetooth connectivity and navigation system, but it's still misses the refinement, slipper clutch. RE is not company that provide good electrical /electronics so fingers crossed 🤞 for THAT. RE is now behaving like Nokia behaves once upon a time that no one take their market what happened to Nokia everyone knows. These days bikes have superb refinement like jawa, Honda h'ness, benelli but RE is ignoring it and just doing cosmetic upgrades rather than focusing on further development

[@annulimummicho2773]

@@kamleshkumaryadav1274 Totally agree... The old cast iron bullets are something to be preserved and those are historical motorcycles... Wht RE had done in recent years is made a new UCE engine which practically is a crap and survived for years since 2008 if I m not wrong and enjoyed the monopoly using thump and its signature design of classic model...

This engine, as much as I love my old 500, is what RE should have introduced back when the single cylinder engine for 350 and 500 was changed in 2009/2010. The plastic filler cap.... cue aftermarket steel one! The Google maps on the old school round dial is a nice touch.

My take on this: I'd personally prefer owning a Honda, but I'd give some credit to Royal Enfield. They have come a long way since their old vibrating models with subpar build quality. Compared to their previous 350 models, the Meteor sounds promising. But they're gonna get a very tough competition from Honda's product on this one! Haters are going to hate and troll as they always did from the beginning, but As a product coming from India (at least partly), I give RE a thumbs up. Looking forward for a test ride.

[@7278547457]

The price is extraordinarily high with the top variant almost 2.5 Lakhs on road. Worst part is it does not get oil cooled engine and the performance have only increased by a margin ! As rightly pointed, even 200cc bikes such as NS and Apache offers more speed

Bajaj could never ever put such soul in their products. Avenger series is good, but leaves a lot of potential unfulfilled.

[@raghushetty82]

@@nawinwe Bajaj should plonk the 250cc engine of the Dominar (with taller, retuned gear ratios of course) and maybe not brand it Avenger. An all-new family of cruisers should be launched by them.

@@nawinwe The ProBiking dealerships should be expanded when the JV with Triumph comes to fruition. And yes, they should focus on the servicing across their showrooms, and also must reduce the spare parts' price.
