    It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find reliable real world professional reviews here on RUclips these days. I have waited for you to do this review for so long and it was worth the wait. Hope I dont sound sexist but there are way too many attractive young ladies with zero experience jumping on the band wagon, and relying on tight clothing and partially unzipped jackets to get views.

    You are able to convey the character of this motorcycle very well. I get a real feeling for it though I've never been in the saddle. When you look at the bike, it looks solid...well built. It's nice to see a company take pride in what it's building, and giving people something they can afford. They're really doing their homework, and building brand loyalty.

    Interestingly enough, it doesn't matter what motorcycle, equipment, etc. you're reviewing, I find all of your videos informative, entertaining, and relaxing, especially on your test rides. You have an uncanny ability to draw your viewer in, as if we are there with you, indulging in the very experience you're in, if that makes any sense. Thank you for all you do Stuart! Cheers from Texas!

    I absolutely love the look of the Super Meteor. Would like a few more horses tho.

    I believe the better brake feel on the rear is because Royal Enfield has upgraded the rear caliper from a single piston to a twin piston floating caliper to compensate for the added momentum.

    Sounds very much like most of the cruisers that I have ridden over the years i.e. comfy, fast enough and not so nimble in town (with the exception of the diminutive Honda Shadow 600, which was an excellent commuter). If I was going back to cruisers, the Super Meteor would be on the list but for my current riding needs, the Scram is everything that I need.

    Stu, tech specs on point! Love it, thanks for not regurgitating easily searchable info on the interwebs and devoting more time to the actual review 👏🏻

    Tremendous videos , recently tried the Interceptor and SuperMeteor having been away from biking since lockdown , working from home has meant that I wasn’t riding to work. Am now still working from home most of the time. Decided to get myself back on 2 wheels for pleasure more than commuting and the occasional run up to my relatives in Norfolk a trip of about 90 miles. At the age of 58 I didn’t need the power and acceleration of a sports bike , comfort is far more important to me now and I got all that sped demon nonsense out of my system many years ago on my early bikes. Having tried both I have settled for the Super Meteor in Celestial Blue. Now ordered and will be picking up after a honeymoon at the end of May. Thanks again for the tremendous videos, very useful and entertaining.

    I quite like the looks of this Royal Enfield model. It's even got real mudguards which would keep real rain and road dirt off you! RE seem to be the only company doing this. I can only think that it's because of their core customers actually using them as their prime transport and in all weathers. I think they should be compulsory, but then I'm piling on the years.. Great video Stuart, thanks!

    Its quite a nice looking bike. I am a RE fan as Im an old fart myself so I go for the bikes of my youth but I think they did a good job on this model. It brings RE into the modern age. Not my style but lets hope it sells well , I think it will.

    Love this bike. I sold my Sportster 883 while back and was very disappointed with Harley discontinuing them and replacing with a 15k plastic version. This will take its place. You could get 2 of these for the price of 1 Harley. I am keeping my 2 big Harleys but I am done with buying anymore Harleys and will try one of these. Think it’s awesome bike. Maybe later on RE will make a big bore version with higher compression ratio and higher HP

    It doesn't leak oil like the Amoco Cadiz though 😂. Another fine bike from Royal Enfield! I enjoyed the practical review.

    Great video!! I always know that I can have a great review though this channel. I believe the 6th gear is more for the USA then any thing else. Highway speeds range from 65 to 90 mph and lots of long straight stretches. I own a RE Interceptor with near 19k miles on it and the 6th gear make a big difference for long rides. Lots of people in the USA wanted a bike that had more power to be able to get up to speed faster and most RE are kinda lacking in that department when it comes to highway riding. Anyway just my take on it. Looking forward to seeing this bike is the US soon.

    My wife loved your technical description. Cars are always described by colour 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Great review. Now, I wish I had room for one. Love my INT, no question, but this machine is built better for a pillion. I have a hard time getting my wife on the back of my INT... It looks like a bike that will --- finally -- give RE the reputation it has well earned since 2019.

    To no surprise, another excellent review. Being as I was not familiar with the Sunbeam S7, I had to look it up. I can see why you covet that beautiful motorcycle.
