You made me buy a Meteor! I'm sure your telling the true aboat the bike! Really like your channel!

Lovely bike, the only thing that lets it down , in my opinion, is the speedo and nav screen, clocks like in the interceptor would have been perfect or even just a more traditional analogue display that looks less modern. But this is minor detail, it’s still a lovely bike.

I enjoy your dour sense of humour ( if that is the correct term) rather like mine! The meteor looks like a great bike, maybe a purchase for myself in 2025.

That landscape in the opening shot is simply stunning.

Make sure you visit Inverary Castle next time you're in the area. Well worth the admission fee. Their pipe band is not bad either.

Thumbs up!

I'd like to see people actually eat!😉

I always been riding Japanese until I read about RE than when I saw one in the flesh I was hooked....brought a meteo and I like many was a total fan boy....enjoy yours as much as I am mine....just like to add I'm living in mauritius perfect weather for it.

I ran mine to the RE specs until 350 miles then gave her a filter and oil change and rode the bike as I would normally do... Didn't do her a pick of harm....

I am looking into buying either the Meteor or Hunter hence watching this video. Seeing mixed reviews regarding the suspension on both bikes. Can you tell me if they are comparable regarding a soft ride (which is what I want) or is one streets ahead in the suspension/ride. I like the looks of the Hunter best and it feels lighter lifting it off the side stand. Does the Meteor 19" front wheel make a difference to the ride quality. I like your laid back videos as I am 73 years old and been riding since 1967 so feel pretty much like you about biking.

Chciałbym mieć meteora 350, ale zawsze brak pieniędzy :(

Its MrT breaking in or running in the same thing and when u get new tyre they have to be run in to jap bikes were to b run in to but jap bikes made to a better tolerance and different metal makeup in 12:13 verrary castle was a military hospital during the war I knew a chap that was there so enjoy the visit to west coast Scotland

Best looking bike you can buy…delightful

I agree with your take on the Meteor 350 wholeheartedly. I've had mine now for (almost) 3 years, over 13 thousand kilometers and I appreciate and grow fonder of it with every ride out. Royal Enfield really nailed it with this machine.

It's a good bike, but for many, like me, it's underpowered. I rode it twice and then test rode the BSA 650 , and the engine and handling blew me away. If you want a more dynamic ride get a sorted 2nd hand BSA

Hi am thinking of buying a Hunter 350 ..is this a good choice

I've got my crash helmet on for the inevitable pile on but I've just bought a Meteor and my experience up until now is........................................boring! After riding my bonnie for 16 years the Royal Enfield is noisy, vibraty and gutless with a nonsensical gear changer. I had a 350cc Matchless in 1960 which would leave this in its dust. On the plus side it's comfy and cheap to run but bloody sleep inducing.

Nice Video but its not a SH 125, its a Mode.

I used to do weekend tours to Europe (from England - furthest was East German/Czech border) on a 1958 Ariel that was unhappy over 40mph and really struggled up hills, so I find it hilarious (and a bit sad) when folks insist you need a 1+ litre adventure bike or some such to tour. My classic tours were fantastic. Some bonkers folks tour thousands of miles on bicycles with all their camping gear etc. Any motorcycle is easy really. One of the biggest limitations I've found over the years is range anxiety (ie. Needing to constantly manage fuel stops and avoid detours even if they look fun) and a big bike will have it where a small one will not. Simple as that. I'm glad the meteor is good for you. I'm going to be getting a Bullet and hope to be doing similar.

Being accosted by an angry Scotsman is unusual up here as most folk don't bother with all the gravel tracks.You can pretty much go anywhere up here.We don't have green lanes like down south but rarely does anyone bother you.We go to Wales regularly and Pembrokeshire national park is hard work.Rules,regulations and more rules.That's Loch Etive you were stopped at.It's a sea loch,but at the end beside the car park where the river runs in,more fresh than salty.The bike looks good and I'm seriously thinking about a RE now that I'm about to hit 60.Good info,cheers.

Glen Etive👍

Am thinking about buying a used one, not a bad bike for under £3k! How’s everyone finding doing their own maintenance?

What a lovely and nice motorcycle video! Thanks a lot and greetings from Bavaria!

Well done!!! No matter what yous say, yous do very well! Great job and funny video as always! The north face looks amazing.. I don't think either of yous looked like a paralysed slug 😂😂

Looks like you're getting about and exploring 👍

When you left Kilcreggan & passed through Rosneath, you passed my wee hoose.

👌👌🌷🌷❤❤🌹🌹👍👍😊😊

What a lovely ride out - there will be more Grockles than ever after watching this!

Totally agree with you on all points. I have a Meteor and a Hunter. I have regularly commented on your Meteor videos... A couple of months ago I bought a Honda MSX 125 Grom. It's the smallest bike I've owned in 50 years, but what a bucket full of fun. I think we forget the endless fun we had on the little bikes we started out on. The Cub and the Grom are mechanically similar apart from slightly different gearboxes. I think your Dartmoor is more interesting than my local German Dutch borders but fun is always around the corner.

You make a good point at 13.09 about the possibility of you falling. Your guide wasn't tied on and would have had to hold you both on a waist belay!!

Thanks Pal, that made me feel much better about myself and the riding I do on my little Bonneville

As I've gone past 50 I noticed that, when I was younger, I thought adrenaline was what I needed to have fun... now, I want as little adrenaline as possible but the fun I get is far more enjoyable now that I don't have to concentrate on not killing myself all the time!

You are 100% correct on the short trips. While breaking in mine (those 300 miles @ 45 mph or less) I've found some beauty roads. Now it's the best way to kill an hour, 50 mile runs off the beaten path.

I absolutely love my meteor, I bought it to use as my winter bike but I have found it so much fun that it’s become my go to bike and my bigger bikes don’t get as much use, I ride two up about 90% of the time and it copes almost as well as solo, it’s surprised me just how good it is with a passenger, the suspension is actually better two up than my far more expensive Triumph, it’s a proper work horse of a bike and I definitely won’t be parting with it, it’s a keeper 👍

I think that’s one of the great things about the little 350 Enfield’s they make an adventure out of the back roads anywhere, even your own back door, cracking ride 👍

One thing I love about the back lanes is lack of cars.

Still riding in your mid fifties! You years of riding infront of you ! Enjoy every mile one day it will be your last

Just watched your video and as a fellow biker and owner of Meteor 350, I could not agree more ! … thank you also for the lovely scenery, love Scotland, and hope to do NC500 if not next year, the year after. Our local club is thinking of Portugal trip, let’s see, also a nice destination … I subscribed and look forward to see your other videos. Cheers, K

Cracking video of your tour on your meteor. Best bike for comfort and mpg that ive owned cant see me trading it in for another big bike.

Sprockers - best dogs in the world!

Have you ever taken this up Porlock? How does it manage on a very steep hill like that?

Mint

I would pay a thing to go on that "three Locks forest Drive" because it is very shoddy road way to many big potholes and too much loose stuff.

I notice your Meteor has no back rest fitted. Did it come with one? I am thinking of removing mine. I think the bike looks better without it.

What a great video log of your tour. Thanks so much for putting this together. Really enjoyable to watch and proves how capable these bikes are. As a returning biker I bought one 2 years ago. It's been brilliant and to be honest I didn't expect to keep it for long but am so happy with it I can't envisage replacing it. It does everything I want it to. I do enjoy pulling up to park with other bikes and thinking how cost effective my meteor is compared to the big GS and yet we travelled along the same roads and enjoyed the same scenery. Thanks again, looking forward to more of the same. Inspirational! Liked and subbed!

Great scenery 👌, the Meteor doesn't cost much to fill up about £15 , as you should know it does approx 80 to 100 m p g 😀, because its lighter , its a go anywhere bike , like you it's the 1st cruiser bike I've had and the feet slightly forward I find it easy and very comfortable ride 😀, I love getting out on mine , got a mate with the 350 Classic we get out on a ride as much as we can , visiting biker Cafe's etc & runs to Wales , great bikes , I like the simplicity of the bike .
