    I love my meteor, its my first bike, in my early 50s. There's still about 10% of me that wants something that can cruise at 80 on the motorway, but the rest is like "you don't need to go that fast old man"

      old Man? C’mon Sir. When you sit on a bike, Youre always a young soul. Pull that throttle down and talk to the winds(Always under safety) Happy riding

      Bro great thoughts 💭 I’m all about the cruise also.

      Early 60s here and Meteor owner since 2 years and I agree with the “10%”. The other 90% is pure, laidback enjoyment ✌️

      Bonjour, le mois prochain je vais recevoir ma meteor 350,elle sera bleue, je suis vraiment impatient de rouler avec . Ta vidéo de route en en montagne est vraiment bien , ta moto roulais à quelle vitesse au plus vite? Est ce le moteur forçait ?
      Bonne route tout le monde.
      Je suis en France dans la petite vile de vichy

    Hi Ben, nice bikes, nice landscape and a nice weather. The only thing I am missing is a cool beer when the ride is finished. Greetings from Germany

      Super comfortable! After about an hour though I start to feel a little stiff and in the need of a pie/coffee haha

    Cracking ride Ben, fabulous route and your so lucky with the weather, here in Scotland it’s cold,wet and miserable, outer wise known as winter 🥶 but summer isn’t too far away 🤞and I get a stellar blue in March so good things to come, all the best buddy 👍

    I own a meteor 350 in UK and love the bike but already got a speeding ticket so my thoughts are I definitely don't need a faster bike!

    • @BenDevery
      @BenDevery  4 месяца назад

      @ptysiallo hahaha how fast were you going over the limit? No ticket for me yet ... (fingers crossed).

    • @ptysiallo

    How is around hillocks and steep gradients? Are there intrusive power loss in those conditions? As far as I know the torque at the rear wheel of re meteor 350≈ 24.5Nm for 191+ kg including accessories.

    • @BenDevery
      @BenDevery  11 месяцев назад +2

      It does just fine! That climb up the kaimais is quite steep in places. Climbs nicely in 4th at 80kmph.

    Hey, thanks for the meteor videos, I couldn't find much for this model. In fact, this brand is for the first time in Turkey. It will be difficult for service support but I really like the look of this bike. Is there too much vibration? What is the quality of peace? Should I choose Super Meteor 650 or Meteor 350? Is there much difference? Is it worth the price difference?

    • @BenDevery
      @BenDevery  10 месяцев назад +1

      Bro, definitely check out the Super Meteor 650 … I reckon if you have the budget, it’s worth the upgrade for sure. I’m saying that, I love my Meteor 350. No excessive vibration that I’ve noticed? 300cc is a lot of difference. I recently rode one and really enjoyed it, if I had the finance I would upgrade for sure. More power, heavier build, comfortable seat and riding position. Other than that it feels more or less the same!

  • @tobirw
    @tobirw 11 месяцев назад +1

    Well, nice bike and for solo riding ofc enough. But for group riding, its in mountains on his limits. I think 400ccm and 27 ps would not be bad. In this case the other riders have gone slow and smooth, so if they had gone normally they had to wait sometimes. Atleast in Germany there are many roads with 100kmp and more also in mountains. If have a road with 80kmph allowed, the riders go mostly 90 kmph and in the mountains thats not possible with the meteor.
