For riders who want to "step back from big bikes" - bingo! I'm sure I'm not the only viewer who's ridden for more than 50 years (since 1968, so literally!), but no longer need or want to wrestle the weight of an HD, Victory, or other "big dog" bike. Yet we still want to experience the joy of riding that you capture so well, so the RE Meteor looks mighty appealing. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the excellent review. Really enjoyed it! By the way, the "toe-heel" gear shifter was designed for the British Civil servant who didn't want to scuff his spit-polished boots. First gear was up and the rest were down, the shifter was on the right side, and there was a "neutral finder" as well, so you could disengage, dismount and comb your hair while staring at your boots. Unfortunately, it wasn't designed for the tie-dye shirt wearing flip-flop rider!

Couple have being touring around the world on a 1972 royal enfield 350 bullet-so far done 582,000 km. They have just attended the International Royal Enfield Rally in Greece-I think this qualifies as testament to their reliability. I think you over estimate the design quality & long term reliability of your japanese manufaturers as I've had numerous japanese motorcycles & most had design faults & Fell well short of personality & character which other manufacturers have in bucket loads like royal enfield-MotoGuzzi-Ducati-Triumph among others. The Classic 350 & bullet are used in the high Himalaya's by tour groups & also for Cape York tours as well as Sri Lanka tours because of their durability-reliability as well as loads of useful torque to get through the most difficult conditions.

It's nice to see the growing market for these simple low power bikes in the UK.. You have companies like Hitchcock motorcycles, TEC parts, and tuning companies like BHP UK that modify these bikes.. The 650cc twins can with a simple remap gets close to 10% more power and is a lot less jerky around town.. Modify the air filter and exhaust, a remap can give you 20% more power on the back wheel.. But with a 20% increase in power you probably want a slight upgrade on the suspension. The 350cc singles also could do with a 20% power boost. So a boost from 20.2 to 24 bhp would be nice..

after 10 or so years of only ever riding sport/sport touring bikes I was randomly offered a go on one of these, I can honestly say I didn't really miss the extra 60+hp or 3 cylinders it's just a nice relaxing easy ride you won't really want to go fast. I would like some better suspension, going over cobbles was an unpleasant experience also I could see this being better in a 650 parallel twin for pillion/motorway comfort but what really blew me away is it's so quiet and still has that nice bassy exhaust note. all in all great bike especially for beginners or people who like me are trying out cruisers for the first time...supposedly you can also get 600km out of a 15L tank which is pretty crazy it's gonna be great in the city.

How did you get a dark red one with a windshield? I thought the windshields only come for the (ugly) 2-tone paint. I really like that combo.

Go to ROYAL ENFIELD OFFICIAL website and chose the bike you want to buy, under that you'll see there's an option called "MAKE IT YOUR'S BOOKING"... All the variants can be customized and it has lots of more good color options too for all variants.. If it's not available in UK/USA, ask the dealers to book the customised one you saw/like in website... Lots of riders don't know about this..

Basically you can fit any official accessory to any model, after purchase. Booking time options are limited

This bike reminds of Rock 6. "To beat this guy, you need speed... you don’t have it...."What we'll be calling on is good ole' fashion blunt force trauma. Heavy duty, cast iron pile driving punches that will have to hurt so much they'll rattle his ancestors."

Possible to make the video about Counter Steering... or steering of the motorcycle, (push right bar to go right....) People go buy 200+hp bikes and don't know how to steer.... they actually go toward the danger instead of avoiding it.

Royal Enfield bikes are not built for India anymore.Sure,they are built in India.But development was carried out at their base at Donnington Park.The bikes are aimed at Europe and the US,but of course,Indians will buy them too

not surprised at all - UK has top-notch engineering skills and RE was sensible enough to rely on them.

Back in 1980 I purchased a used BMW R60/5; that's a 600cc bike with 4 speed trans and it had compression reduced for dropping octane ratings on fuel available at that time. It had maybe 40hp? I loved that bike and I rode it everywhere, it was my primary transportation. You don't need high hp to enjoy riding.

Ya any bike can be fun, but the rider should understand it. I don't expect a review like this, you are so great. He is saying it from heart. For those who can't understand it, a test ride will learn you. There a 650 twin will come as Super Meteor.

Okay, So I've watched a few reviews on these and, with pretty much every one I've watched, I'm left with the same question. Does that exhaust scrape when cornering? It certainly looks like it would.
