    Great ride and description thanks for sharing 👍 The bike did really well, mine has a lot of hills to climb in (Old) South Wales. Love the views, we used to have lots of 3 lane 'suicide roads' but they've got rid of most of them now, too many accidents in the shared middle lane!

    I have had one for two years. It is enough power for one person, and more than enough for city cruising and commuting. But it definitely struggles with hill highways, especially with two people and luggage. I have made some 2 hour trips with my girlfriend, many times i wished it had more power and gets uncomfortable after like the first hour. I'm moving on to a super meteor 650 with a touring seat. My Little meteor 350 gave me great times.

    • @BenDevery
      @BenDevery  6 месяцев назад +3

      @JuanchoMan7 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@BenDevery I have for the moment only watched reviews, and they all talk great things about the super meteor. I went to a royal Enfield store and sat on one, it feels great, so I ordered one. They told me it could take up to three months to arrive, it seems interstellar green is the color that takes the longest. I'll tell you when it arrives.

    • @mattsunny
      @mattsunny 6 месяцев назад +1

      so this view point is seconded by some of the touring companies in the leh ladakh region where RE's regularly are used to climb the steep hills.. they say if you have a passenger.. its best to take the himalayan or a 500 cc RE.. if alone.. then the 350 cc is enough..

      @@BenDevery all smooth sailing, never had any issues with it. Still on all the stock parts (front tyre due soon). Its used in all weathers and very rarely gets cleaned but shows no signs of corrosion etc. I had the new super cub 125 and put 17,000 on it, I actually think the build quality is worse on the Honda. Royal Enfield have really upped the game considering the price

      Great question here. Cruises around nicely in town between 3rd and 4th. Going up this hill I was cycling up and down between 4th and 5th. 3rd if you need power to pass under 60-70.

    Thinking hard about going from a Honda CTX 700 to the Meteor 350. Hill climbing is an issue. I'm 6'2", 275 lbs - in other words, a load. What's your weight and height - it will help me evaluate if this one lunger is great for those 175lbs, or can it handle someone like me?
