  • Out goes the Thunderbird and in comes the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. It’s all-new in its engine, frame and design, and quite the package as Rishaad Mody finds out.

      I live in Delhi. Daily use from home to office for 2..5 hours of driving.
      Meteor steller black is costing 2.18 Lakhs around
      Honda Hness dlx black is costing 2.20 Lakhs around.
      Which one should I buy ?

    I have my Thunderbird 350( the initial model) sitting at a shed in India collecting dust. The new features look neat but I really loved the old handlebar and meters. It gave the rider the cruiser feel. I think I will still stick to my Yamaha XVS650 and wait for RE to bring a 650 model. Cheers for the detailed review.

    I just did a test ride yesterday, and boy it's so much better than classic and thunderbird, be it handling, cruising in city traffic, or highways and not to forget such minimal vibrations as compared to the previous models🔥🔥🔥

    I think I'll have to retain my faithful avenger for driving in the city. And buy an RE Roadster (whenever it launches) exclusively for the highway. RE doesn't seem to reduce the weight of their bikes. It's impossible to handle such weights in the city, esp. for shorter people like me. At least they got the height right with this bike...

    My wishlist for RE 350 Meteor :

    Still they couldn't figure out ways to reduce vibration,reduce weight,engine heat ,rusting underneath .I don't think it will compete in any way with Honda CB 350, Honda solved almost all problems very efficently. Choose wisely before investing .❤️ Thanks for this review.👍

    Super review Rishad!👍🏼 But I don't understand this logic....why two clocks?😑 Also they didn't show the same timings! RE could have used the second screen to better use as explained.
    The product is good as mentioned and I agree with the verdict totally, but I expected more from RE! (maybe that's what makes me a non RE customer!🤪)

  • @nawmsayin8017
    @nawmsayin8017 3 года назад +42

    I'd rather buy the CB350. Honda has nailed it in the refinement, fuel efficiency, fit and finish and MAINLY SOUND!! Stolen the bastion from the king itself.
    RE only if they hasten up with the 650 Cruiser KX650, whatever. If they do that with good fit and finish and not rusting prone parts that even their supposedly most quality oriented bike Interceptor has, then maybe.

    @classictyagi7520 3 года назад

    Nice detailed review bro
    But just some minor changes are there
    everything is same like the old models
    RE has to provide some price justifying features in their bikes like other companies provide like Bajaj dominor 400.
    I mean just check the number of features they are providing as per the price

  • @alfa_romeo0701
    @alfa_romeo0701 3 года назад

    I used to find 350 underpowered on gear ratios esp on hills. Hope Meteor will scale heights with ease, else will have to wait for the 650 cruiser, coz thats a fantastic engine. Any idea about it launch boyz?

    Few things which is missing in this bike according to me
    1. Oil cooling system like the himalayan
    2.slipper clutch
    3.6th gear (may be may be not)
    4. Square large rear view mirror
    5. LED headlamp
    6.rpm meter
    7.large fuel tank 21 lit
