Thanks for watching my video! Any questions you want answered about owning a Royal Enfield 350 Meteor?
How does it perform on acute turns ? Turning radius expected to be longer?
"Hot-DAYYUMMM!!!" Lol! Love your spirited presentation. I have a Fireball Yellow Meteor 350 and fell in love with the look too when I saw it at the dealer. After having put 1000 miles on it, I can say it's my favorite bike I've ever owned - and I've had few. Great vid!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :) awesome the yellow fireball would have been my second choice! What other bikes have you owned? Thanks for the encouragement!
1000 miles 😱
That bike in the UK is only £3,850 as of 18 January 2024, an absolute bargain.
What a steal! ❤️
The sound of the Royal Enfield is one of the best exhaust notes in the world. Its so satisfying.
Totally, love that gentle thump.
Use mine daily and it's now just past 16,000 miles. Never had any issues and it's a very hardy bike as I don't really clean it much, even through winter. It definitely draws attention and I find most people think it's an original classic Enfield and are often shocked its new
Nice one, such a cool bike right?! Love those conversations. More videos coming soon! Thanks for commenting.
Hi from England , love your location, i have had my stellar meteor for two years now covering 6300 miles , no real issues in that time (front fork oil seals went but both forks replaced under warranty) great bike to ride , as long as you realise its limitations , by the way the black plastic caps on top of the forks are for transit purposes and they remove easily, the chrome looks much better IMO ! ride safe xx
Thanks for the comment! Great tip about the removable plastic caps - will look into it :)
The SuperMeteor is faster but also weighs more. It depends if you want a bike that can easily go 65-70 mph or if you want to go faster then a bigger bike that weighs more is the right choice. For around town, I love my Meteor.
Such great advice, I completely agree - around town the Meteor is in its element.
I've been ignoring the Royal Enfield as in India they're seen as aspirational since we don't have many international options and I refused to give in to the hype but recently I rode a super meteor and I was blown away by it. I guess it is not a surprise that people all over the world have taken a liking to it. The value for money is insane and it is a lot of fun despite the weight. I guess having it plastic could reduce the weight but maybe that could bring down the reliability of all metal motorcycle- what RE is generally known for.
Thanks for the review mate.
Aryan, Delhi. India.
Hey @sewerrat thanks for the comment, in regards to the weight did you think it was too heavy?
@@BenDevery Heavy in general but you don't feel it while riding or balancing it even in still position as the centre of gravity is good. If you drop it? Idk, that looks like a nightmare for people like me who are on the leaner side.
Love from india , proud owner of meteor 350 supernova red. Beautiful bike really !!! Thanks for the video
Nice choice! Thanks for watching!
Yes Ben! Stunning place to go for a drive on a stunning bike.
Imagine when I have my full and you are on the back babe! ;)
One more thing I want to add the throttle sound probably depends on rider in this bike. I love the sound specially in between 3-4 gear throttle hard with firm grip and control the bike. Mind blowing
Yeap totally agree 👍 I reckon in fourth climbing up to fifth is where she sounds the best!
Love from Jharkhand India...I do own exactly the same since....2022 March... and I love Tooooo it
Hi there! Spent some time in India, love your country. You clocked in 5000km yet? Mine just ticked over.
You gave that a mean clean prior to this video for sure. Such a mean bike 👍🏽
Haha thanks for noticing ;) just before I left for the ride I thought … Scottie would suggest she needs a clean haha 😂
I miss going to Tauranga every weekend and driving through the gorge
Bro, Tauranga misses you homie!
i'm sitting here with a gn250 and a gn125 behind me trying to figure out which 350 to get, I keep coming back to look at this one even though there is a honda 350 classic coming out
If you love the Suzuki 125 and 250 … you will hands down love this bike! I haven’t ridden a Honda 350. Will check it out though!
Put a performance camshaft from hitchcocks, it will transform that bike to a mini 500.
@candidosteeley cool! Have you done that with yours?
Love it in all black....very affordable ❤
Such a cool colour right?! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Hey Ben, I have booked fireball custom black. Looking forward to get delivery this month🎉.
That’s awesome! Congrats.
You deserve much more subscribers... love your videos. You look like youtuber with 100K subs. Keep going 💪
Hands down the nicest comment I’ve ever had … thanks so much!!! 🫡
Thank you, my friend, it is my honest opinion.
Thank you for your subscription on my channel.
I am waiting for my Meteor 350. It arrives in April, and then I will make videos for my channel to 😊
I have one as well fireball yellow here in cambodia it costs 4200$ to 4500$
@androidnoobsyoutube1327 nice one! Wow ... that is such a great price! Is that new or second hand?
We live in a beautiful part of New Zealand! ❤️
Any thoughts on what I like to call the holy trinity of upgrades for the J-series engine the dna performance air filter and cover, the de-cat pipe and the fuel X lite? In terms of improving the breathing of the engine and getting a bit more poke in the mid range pick up and torque through the gears
Sounds like you have more thoughts on that than me Kevin! I watched a few DIY videos on it … in my opinion they munted there bikes haha. I’ll have a look into those things you mentioned above though! Thanks for sharing.
How is the fuel mileage after your upgrades?
@@thornortheastregionaltruck2392 there really was little difference, city commute was 87mpg and on a run I'd see 103-107 mpg
Great video, didn't realize it's a small channel until u started riding. Riding is where the audio quality and unscripted talk can be improved. But Good effort
Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
lol. It’s always someone with no channel that’s critical of other people’s videos.
@@GunCollector007😂
@@GunCollector007 Its always people with no restaurants that are critical about restaurants. Videos are not made for people with channels :) .
I own this exact bike and i love it, wish it was a 450 tho
I hear that … just a little bit more power and she would be the dream machine.
Bro! We gotta go for a cruise soon!
Yeah man let’s do it :) we can review your bike too haha 😂
@@BenDevery leessss gooo!!
Hey mate ive got the same bike in the same colour , ive been having it for 5000kms and the gearshifting has become harder. Is it same for you, and yeah i have come across a lot of reviews about the false neutral too.
Hey 👋 do you get it regularly serviced? Best thing to keep things running smoothly! Sometime it doesn’t register which gear I’m in which is annoying …
I own this and I love it
🙏
Those are amazing 😊
They are!
Hi! With this bike RE has gone to another level.
Pity it's performance lower than many 125s.
Regards
not all bikes are about speed (performance) bud! 🫡
@@xrizzal1108 not for u, bud, but for many is.
Couldn’t agree more, love seeing all these new models coming out.
In India its around 2.6-2.8K USD only. That's on road price with insurance, road tax, registration.
Wow … we certainly pay a bit more for them here in NZ 🇳🇿 RRP is $8490 and that’s without on road costs … !
Around £4200 in the uk. PCP finance is dirt cheap, less than £100 a month.
@@kfkwAL7that’s about the same in NZD 💵
When you import a vehicle into a country, there will be additional costs like import duties. This is the same case with the price of cars and motorcycles imported as CBUs in India.
Sad thing is what is exported has better quality than what is sold to us.
Do you really think so?
@@BenDevery that is what was told to me by the a sales person regarding himalayan old model. When old model production stopped they dumped the made for exports bikes into local market. He said the difference is stunning. I have ci 350 bought in 92 and a thunderbird 350. Going to buy shotgun 650. So I am no hater.
Can you tell is there any difference riding with gloves
Hey there :) depends on what kind of gloves you are wearing. I love my Summer gloves and where them year round, except for when it’s really cold. Wouldn’t be on my bike without them. Safety’s not an accident my friend!
So how many kms have you done so far?
@annettesomers7463 i've done around 6500.
Why did you go with the 350 instead of the 650?
Purely because of the budget … and also because I bought this bike a year ago now, they weren’t out yet!
@@user-wb3fo1sj8mthink suspension is a bit of Duff point, you can hardly claim that the 350 is better than the 650 on this one 😊
Some great points here! I love the mileage I get out of my 350 Meteor.
True! I’ll have to ride one and find out. Stay tuned for that review.
@@BenDevery tho most people say that the rear shocks on both meteor's are a bit harsh, but some claim that increases to the pre load to about mid point helps.
Is there a Royal Enfield owners / enthusiast club in Tauranga?
Hi there! I’m not sure … I’ll have a look around on Facebook and get back to you :) are you a TGA local? Would you be interested in starting/joining one?
@@BenDevery yes I am local … just in the process of buying a 350 hunter. Certainly be keen to join up with fellow owners. Haven’t long retired, so would enjoy the company of people with a shared interest
@@lyndenransley2597awesome. If you search for Royal Enfield Owners Group New Zealand 🇳🇿 on Facebook we can connect further in there 🎉
Great content I am subscribing to see more Meteor content, I have the 350 Classic in Halcyon Grey, my videos aren't nearly as polished as yours but I'd love to for you to check them out and I'd value your sub.
Thanks for the sub! Cool, will check it out and return the favour :)
I live in Mountain Area...not enough Power for this...or? 🤔
Great question, she will struggle to do anything over 80kms per hour up a steep hill, she can but you will be pushing her limits :)
Learn counter steering
Will do!
Pack it in Fella... far to Heavy.
Not sure what you mean? The bikes too heavy?
@@BenDevery The Bike, it's only a 350 !
@@stormytempest6521 gotta start somewhere!
@@BenDeveryWhat am saying is it looks like a 500 thumper, Style Wise I like it.
Old man model
You reckon!? Do have a few grey hairs showing up now you mention it … 🤔
No.. not you, In my opinion that Meteor design is suitable for old man not for teenageer (forgive me for my bad english i’m Asian)
No worries! Honestly, this bike is a lot of fun no matter what age or stage. Just depends if you love to cruise or not! ;)
Hey now, careful who're you're calling "old" now! It comes up on you quicker than you'd like to think. Besides - where I live, all the young ones are into retro, vintage stuff, so...
what a jolly character.. really loved the review.. you earned a sub🫶
Thanks so much!!
