The last time I complimented the cameraman of an RE SM650 review channel, the host took much offence. Bikewale is gracious. Outstanding ride review btw
Amazingly done... What viewers don't realise generally is the amount of time and effort it takes to capture everything on camera the way you guys were able to while also making sure that you're munching miles (literally). With such amazing running shots, windmills, farmlands and fuel-food stops, traffic & legal speeds - 20 hours is indeed really impressive.

1000 km in a day. Sounds crazy right? Well, we did just that on the #SuperMeteor650. But the question is, would you ever ride 1000 km in a day on the #RoyalEnfieldSuperMeteor650? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Have done 667 kms in 12 hrs on the RE Thunderbird... With that as a yardstick.... 1000 kms on a Super Meteor should be fine... Ofcourse give the right kind of road stretches.
I rode my fzs 150cc Bangalore to Pune in one day last December. It was hell of experience and learning. Last few hundred kilometres were most difficult between kolhapur and Pune.
I often drive 600 km/8-10 hr on my interceptor 650. I always felt I could do 300-400 km more. I don't listen to songs. I am in my zone when out on a trip on my inty 650. Probably me used to being on cycle saddle for 4-6 hrs helped in conditioning my lower back muscles. My mantra was 1. Use cycling tights without seams. 2. Wear pants without back pockets. 3. Ride for 55 min and stretch 5 min. 4. I carry a flask of tea as it removes the need to search for tea at lower speeds! This is suggestion of my better half. Driving for extended duration takes toll on your mind. Like he said. It should not be a quest to be achieved rather than enjoying the drive.
Thoroughly enjoyed the ride along brother. Big distance, minimal stops = sore butt! We all get a sore ar*e eventually mate. Even on my Yamaha fjr1300 with a gel seat (very comfortable), my poor old butt lets me know if I have been riding for too long! In Australia, we certainly have some big distances to cover if we want to, and I prefer to limit myself to between 6-700kms per day. I'm getting older, thats the problem!!😂. Great channel mate, subscribed and looking forward to catching up with all of your previous videos. I will certainly be looking at the Meteor 650 when we get the bike into our dealerships in Oz. I'm 6'2, 108kgs with long legs, so the ergonomics could/may be a problem. We shall see. Stay safe mate.
I did 800kms on my 125cc Honda stunner from Banglore to Pune in 12Hrs..and next day morning Pune to mahabaleshwar and then return to Banglore. Total 1600kms in 3days....
Excellent presentation - I'm thoroughly enjoying my SM 650 Astral Black so much !!! The parallel twin is mind blowing indeed !!! Many ppl have mistaken it for a Harley but for the badging - a real beauty !!! Sold off my Meteor 350 Fireball Yellow
@@rounaksiddhapara6402 Depends. The biggest downside is the stiff ride quality. The ride will always feel bouncy on uneven city roads. Otherwise, the bike is very good.
Congratulations to you and you team for an excellent video and the longest single test ride in one day that I have ever seen, Royal Enfield should give you a Gold medal.
Having aching back by the end of the trip is natural. Even we sit on our Sofa for 15 Hours straight, it is painful. We cannot fault the bike for this. The humongous distance of 1000kms was completed in Indian conditions with an Indian manufactured bike shows how good the Super Meteor 650 is. Use your bikes to ride 600kms in a day, then you will love Super Meteor650. Mind you, 600 Kms in no way is short to cover in a Single day. Excellent video btw, loved the details and efforts put in to present the experience so beautifully to the viewers. Cheers!!
I own a Royal Enfield 500, it does 80-100 kmph easily with the best in Class GRS Gas shock absorbers at the rear..and a touring seat. Super comfy at any kind of Indian road. Mild undulations, Bridge joints, speed breaker s, potholes, it swallows everything it goes thru. Ita highly stable at 90-100 . Gives me 30 kmph . Finally that traditional bass beat from the exhaust. Goosebumps.. So i decided not to exchange it to Super Meteor. I think putting a GRS at rear would be a game changer in terms of ride quality. And also replacing with powerful Halogens lights. LEDs are waste of money. Its a just a fancy product. It doesn't give you the depth of view. Its just bright when none comes in opposite direction.
What a coincidence ,Today I completed my 1080 km journey on Super Meteor from Hyderabad to Bhubaneswar . undulation part is accurate . Engine performance till 120 is good beyond that we can have vibration over handlebar and milage drops. But to cover this far we have to take a chance too. My problem was Fuel guess . It will not show low fuel if we turn off /restart on 2 bar of fuel meter . That was risky part . Rest others are already shared by you . 😊😊😊 Keep up good work.
Bro what's the mileage u getting in traffic like Mumbai I need to think if I should take the delivery or not. Just worried about mileage both traffic and highway Thanks in advance
@@ameyathorat3461 overall I got around 23 KMPL . Particularly in city I belive it's 21 KMPL . If you go on highway in maintained speed then the milage will grow 1or 2 point .
Thank you for a well presented, thoughtful and honest review. The Super meteor 650 is similar to my Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer which I haven't used for a long trip yet so the review was useful in that respect. To be honest, if I have a long trip to do I tend to favour my older Suzuki Burgman 650, which is a gem of a touring bike and very comfy.
Thank you for the kind words and appreciation. The idea to undertake this ride on the Super Meteor 650 and not any other bike was because the Meteor is a cruiser and we wanted to see how comfortable or otherwise the cruiser is.
Having done a few 400 to 600 kms bike rides over last 10 years, can never think of a 1000 km ride on any bike on any day of the year!! Kudos to you guys for putting up with a thumper of a bike for us viewers!
That was epic. I did a 1000k trip from Mackay to Brisbine in Aussie on a 2013 Harley Streer bob. Couldn't hop back in the saddle for a week. Well done sir. You have a new subscriber.
Greetings from the Grand Duchy of Cornwall UK.....What a brilliant long distance honest test excellent my friend to you and your team , this really makes me want to come to your country and do the run myself. The 1000Km was a test of the bike and comfort which was very interesting but to be fair I don't think (unless in an emergency) you would actually do 1000Km all in one hit. I particularly liked the comment about cruising, "you do it to take in the scenery and enjoy the ride not to thrash the bike over a long distance" (I paraphrase there) and I totally agree. Well done and I will certainly be looking out for more of your vids.
I am riding avenger 160 from last 6 months. Lower back pain and stiff rear suspension is bigger issue in such bike, I have never felt this in my older 100cc commuter bikes. Please recommend me some other good bike which can be considered because somehow my avenger decision is not looks good to me.
Did Guwahati to Kolkata on Xpulse 200 4V in exactly 18hrs. I started from guwahati at 7:10 am and reached at 1:10 am. The entire ride was fun mostly maintained at 100 kmph speed, only the last 200km were excessively bad (100km to Krishnanagar and from there to Kolkata 100kms very dusty and very large potholes) also have taken the botol bari route which was quick in time but the roads were single lane and had animal disturbance. From Siliguri to Kolkata numerous numbers of barricades were very disturbing on the Assam part of the journey it was smooth but had frequent diversions.
Hi sir. It was impressive to see you on 650 Enfield. Even I did 1050 kms in one day on my interceptor. Kollegal to Navi Mumbai. I did it in 15 hours. My bike gave me 30-32 kms per liter… it was a fantastic ride….
Amazing video Anuj, today me n my wife were discussing if we should have a S Meteor in our garage n we came across this video. Excellent presentation of to the point facts on a super long ride.
Great job and nice pictures. An inspiring one too. 1000km is a long journey, and I am sure that you would have had back pain with many other bikes too. Your video verifies that the rear suspensions and the screen could be improved. I noticed for myself that the rear shocks are pretty stiff and could bring my limits quite quickly. (I am way older than you... :) ). You proved that this bike could do it mechanically and your trip makes me think to try a long one as well. With more breaks!. Maybe riding only 400/500km a day... Aside from that, I like the passion you put into this experience and the way you talk about it. Thumbs up for the pictures and the sound, and all the effort and planning to film it, doing your pieces to camera and everything... Sure it is a lot of work. What a day isn't it?
Fantastic journey you went on! Thanks for documenting and sharing! 🎉😁 I am ordering a touring version soon as my dealership here in the USA calls to tell me the order banks are open. Looking forward to my own stateside version of your trip soon as the bike is delivered! Keep up the great content! Cheers!!
Hey that’s the exact same helmet I have 😅 Ive done the NH4 multiple times and I know exactly the strech after Dharwad you’re talking about, it’s flat empty 6 lane and that’s awesome for just blazing past! The cruising speed of 90-100 is a bit too slow from my perspective, need a bike that can cruise comfortably at 120-130, that’ll make mile munching super easy.
Excellent Review ! Sounded unscripted and real ! especially the bit how you started liking cruiser after this ride. Credit to whole team ans sponsor for this video
very nice insight got from you. need your help which one you would prefer interceptor 650 or super meteor 650. specially when I m just 5.2 but any how using interceptor 650 for last four years.
Used to do Bangalore to Ahmednagar (~1000km) every few weeks back in 2015 on my RE Thunderbird Twinspark (2008) and have to say, that bike is a mobile couch, none of the later models feel the same for rider and pillion comfort.
@@BikeWaleOfficial The experience was great! I took about 16 hours to cover 914 KM from Pune to my hometown in AP. I encountered a chain issue near Hubli which I was lucky enough to find out a Royal Enfield Service near the highway and got it fixed. Rest, the journey was smooth. By the way, I watched your video of riding 1000 KM in a single day. Hope you had fun.
Just got this video recommended on my RUclips feed. Nice job with the video and the presentation of the bike without delving too much into the spec sheet. Although, I didn't particularly connect with the narration on the whole. For me, it felt like you were reading off a script that was originally intended for an article on your website. So, I as a viewer, didn't necessarily feel the emotions that you were trying to convey through the video. You could tone down the use of complex language and just naturally express how you felt while riding the machine. Never meant to be that guy, but I thought I'd mention it. Otherwise, great job with the video. Can't wait for more videos :D Edit: The writer in me had to express it out 😂
Well a memorable ride... And beautiful cinematography. Brings back my fond memories of 2003 when I ventured out with my newly acquired red colour Pulsar 180cc and rode from hyderabad to bangalore... Roughly 600kms. Bum was sore after 350 kms and in those times, we didn't have access to so many motorcycle gears as available now. I had only a leather jacket on, jeans and woodland shoes. That's all. Not even gloves. Drove thru rain, dust, broken roads, and truck traffic. Back and bum was totally sore when I reached after 12. 5 hours of riding with a few breaks in between. Night ride was really scary as the headlight was too weak for highways and approaching vehicles. Took 1 day complete rest lying on my stomach.... Due to sore bum 😅. But enjoyed the ride thoroughly and is still vivid in my memories. Sold it after 12 years. Very soon would buy a Himalayan 450 or shotgun 650 scrambler... Let's see. And thanks for the nice video.
1000 kms in a day is crazy and also not easy in a country like India. You must be having many of the experieces on the road. Hats off to you guys because you guys have done this while shooting video, its too hectic. Great video.
All this I can do on my TB500 too without the infamous back sore, cruising between 95Kmph & 105Kmph. Thinking not to upgrade for now after this review😊. Thank you very much!
I have traveled on Thunderbird 500 from kolhapur to indore in single day...l have also travelled from indore to Dwarka, Gujrat, on the same bike in single day..l only used to take frequent Intermittent breaks every 1.5 hours to hydrate myself and stretching 20 min long break for food..Born to ride..love my TB500.
This was a very well put together video. Credit to you and your cameraman. I'm scheduled to ride a 1000km ride in a few weeks and wanted to see what it feels like. I'll be riding a BMW F800GT and am based in New Zealand. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Great effort…!! It requires planning and execution for such rides. I guess 1k km ride on any bike would give a lower back n butt pain..!! Keep it up and have great rides ahead..!
Excellent review! To be honest I do not think many riders are willing to do 1000 km in one day, whatever the bike they ride, so the fact that you did it and found the SM60 comfortable for around 800 km was surprisingly good.
A 20 hours ride in any kind of vehicle including 4 wheelers will be a big ask let alone a bike ride. Super meteor is not a bike but a work of art from RE.
Been waiting all of several months for this thing to arrive in Australia. It's April now, but it ain't here yet. I just want to get this thing and give it a try, damn it!
Great review, my man! Thank you and your team for putting in the hours and the effort. You are right... 800 kms it is already a good stretch for a test drive. 🙏🏻
Good review... Standing up while riding is something I wouldn't publicize as it could prove dangerous for an amateur.. Taking regular breaks during long rides should be the safety message... This is not criticism, just a recommendation for your future videos...
Very good video. I'm eager to know how the Super Meteor fares against the Meteor. Except for the obvious 650 vs 350 engine and the accompanying power difference, how much better is the Super Meteor over the Meteor? Is the 2 lakh add-on a justified expenditure?
Hi Vyshak. The 650 is better on many fronts! The overall build quality, the brakes, the engine refinement, the handling, stability, gearbox, almost everything is several notches better. And of course, the much more imposing road presence. And although you already know this, the difference in engine performance itself is massive and justifies the hefty premium.
@@kailashsingh7169 Yes, for that price, Meteor 350 is great, if you're not concerned about things like higher cruising speed, better refinement, more visual appeal, and better build quality.
Nicely brought out. U did experience a tough journey though. Did u specifically restrict the speed to 80kmph? The bike does need lot of improvements. Keeping in mind the horrific traffic in Bangalore, How could you rip through Bangalore traffic is a mystery bcoz Bengaluru has the worst traffic conditions in the country. I hv lived there 56 years & traffic conditions are only going from worst to pathetic to hell. Anyway, the super meteor 650 needs a handlebar riser & 2 pairs of aux lights, where in GR40 (Gold Runway 40) is the best suited for indian bikes & road & traffic conditions. The crash guard can be fitted with highway pegs so that u can rest & stretch your legs. Rider back rest in your bike can be installed which gives a much need support for back. Also Pune has one excellent superbike accessories shop which can help u in this field. Bangalore too has a great guy Sandeep Dhaiya who fabricates the back rest as per your choice & personal requirements. Best wishes.
We had to follow the speed limits of 70kmph and 80kmph throughout Maharashtra and Karnataka. We reached Bangalore post 12am, so traffic wasn’t much. In fact barely any traffic.
Great video.. all important points covered, and very well summarised. Its not that people plan 1k per day rides regularly, even hardcore rider do it once a while. If people want to do 1k ride in a day... just pick up the kawasaki versys 650... its sofa on wheels. I have personally done bangalore to guwahati in 3 days straight on a versys. Day 1 Bangalore to Vizaz Day 2 vizaz to burdwan Day 3 Burdwan to Guwahati All early morning starts at 03.30am.
It's amazing to see genuine channels putting straight-up honest opinions and reviews with their utmost hard work for us. It's not only emotional but also envious as well. You're awesome! Thank you. 😊 ❤
Would be interested in your doing the same route on an Interceptor 650 I'm a little concerned about the stiff ride on the Super Meteor Thank you for the video 👍🏻
Very well done. Thank you so much. We can listen to your coverage all day. Your parents did a good job. Your honesty assessment of the REM motorcycle, gave it much weight.
I drive my gt 650 Hyderabad to sharjapur , banglore in 7.5hours , 630kms . You can actually ring it at 140kmph and just power cruise . The engine in mind blowingly smooth and doesn't overheat at all.
I wanna add this, cruisers by design nature put al lot of stress on your hip bone which is why you had a sore back but kudos to you taking up such a mammoth task of riding 1000kms, you did a mega job!
Good one! By the way, I heard your positives and negatives about the super meteor while touring. I have specific question. Would you say that something like a Suzuki VStorm SF250 would fare better with regard to comfort in terms of driving posture, seating comfort and ride comfort.

Hi sir. It was impressive to see you on 650 Enfield. Even I did 1050 kms in one day on my interceptor. Kollegal to Navi Mumbai. I did it in 15 hours. My bike gave me 30-32 kms per liter… it was a fantastic ride….
Wow, that’s awesome. How was your experience.
Realistic Journey feeling after watching this video.....
That was the idea sir. Glad that our efforts made you feel that way.
i can only imagine how much royal enfield paid for all these positive reviews.
Legend 😂
Amazing video Anuj, today me n my wife were discussing if we should have a S Meteor in our garage n we came across this video. Excellent presentation of to the point facts on a super long ride.
Thank you for the kind words, Bulu 🙏🏽
Great job and nice pictures. An inspiring one too. 1000km is a long journey, and I am sure that you would have had back pain with many other bikes too. Your video verifies that the rear suspensions and the screen could be improved. I noticed for myself that the rear shocks are pretty stiff and could bring my limits quite quickly. (I am way older than you... :) ). You proved that this bike could do it mechanically and your trip makes me think to try a long one as well. With more breaks!. Maybe riding only 400/500km a day... Aside from that, I like the passion you put into this experience and the way you talk about it. Thumbs up for the pictures and the sound, and all the effort and planning to film it, doing your pieces to camera and everything... Sure it is a lot of work. What a day isn't it?
Ohh yes, it was one hell of a day and an epic epic ride. Thank you for noticing what goes behind the scenes to produce a video like this. 🙏🏽
Next level content man. Hat's off.
Thank you so much for the kind words and appreciation. 🙏🏽
the madness of a cruiser biker..I have already astral blue 650. i have that madness and it's awesome. amazed by ur 1000 km journey and review.
Thank you for the appreciation, Satyaprakash.
Thank you so much Satya
Fantastic journey you went on! Thanks for documenting and sharing! 🎉😁
I am ordering a touring version soon as my dealership here in the USA calls to tell me the order banks are open. Looking forward to my own stateside version of your trip soon as the bike is delivered!
Keep up the great content! Cheers!!
We are glad that you liked our content and presentation. Thank you 🙏🏽
Congratulations on your upcoming purchase. Happy and safe riding, Sir.
Thank you so much!
Hey that’s the exact same helmet I have 😅
Ive done the NH4 multiple times and I know exactly the strech after Dharwad you’re talking about, it’s flat empty 6 lane and that’s awesome for just blazing past! The cruising speed of 90-100 is a bit too slow from my perspective, need a bike that can cruise comfortably at 120-130, that’ll make mile munching super easy.
Excellent Review ! Sounded unscripted and real ! especially the bit how you started liking cruiser after this ride. Credit to whole team ans sponsor for this video
I have done dehradun to ahmedabad in 22 hours only with my classic 350,
It was amazing experience 😍
very nice insight got from you. need your help which one you would prefer interceptor 650 or super meteor 650. specially when I m just 5.2 but any how using interceptor 650 for last four years.
Interceptor seat hight is 800 mm and meteore is 700mm
so meteor might be good for you 🤸🏻🤸🏻
Used to do Bangalore to Ahmednagar (~1000km) every few weeks back in 2015 on my RE Thunderbird Twinspark (2008) and have to say, that bike is a mobile couch, none of the later models feel the same for rider and pillion comfort.
I did 914 KM in a single day on my RE Classic 350 back in 2012 and I am proud of it.
That’s nice. How was your experience? And the road conditions back then?
@@BikeWaleOfficial The experience was great! I took about 16 hours to cover 914 KM from Pune to my hometown in AP. I encountered a chain issue near Hubli which I was lucky enough to find out a Royal Enfield Service near the highway and got it fixed. Rest, the journey was smooth. By the way, I watched your video of riding 1000 KM in a single day. Hope you had fun.
@@maruthivannal ohh we had a ton of fun while filming it.
@@BikeWaleOfficial Great! Keep up the good work.
@@maruthivannal Thank you 🙏🏽
Just got this video recommended on my RUclips feed. Nice job with the video and the presentation of the bike without delving too much into the spec sheet. Although, I didn't particularly connect with the narration on the whole. For me, it felt like you were reading off a script that was originally intended for an article on your website. So, I as a viewer, didn't necessarily feel the emotions that you were trying to convey through the video. You could tone down the use of complex language and just naturally express how you felt while riding the machine. Never meant to be that guy, but I thought I'd mention it. Otherwise, great job with the video. Can't wait for more videos :D
Edit: The writer in me had to express it out 😂
Thank you for the feedback Pranav.
Well a memorable ride... And beautiful cinematography. Brings back my fond memories of 2003 when I ventured out with my newly acquired red colour Pulsar 180cc and rode from hyderabad to bangalore... Roughly 600kms.
Bum was sore after 350 kms and in those times, we didn't have access to so many motorcycle gears as available now. I had only a leather jacket on, jeans and woodland shoes. That's all. Not even gloves. Drove thru rain, dust, broken roads, and truck traffic. Back and bum was totally sore when I reached after 12. 5 hours of riding with a few breaks in between. Night ride was really scary as the headlight was too weak for highways and approaching vehicles. Took 1 day complete rest lying on my stomach.... Due to sore bum 😅.
But enjoyed the ride thoroughly and is still vivid in my memories.
Sold it after 12 years. Very soon would buy a Himalayan 450 or shotgun 650 scrambler... Let's see.
And thanks for the nice video.
We can only imagine the fun you’d have had on your trip. Kudos to you. Ride safe 👍🏼
Petrol cost kitna pada 1000km ke liye
Good Video. I am using Meteor 350 from 2yrs. Need some breaks for cruiser segments, while travelling. Also good narration & very well explained
Thank you so much for the kind words and appreciation 🙏🏽
1000 kms in a day is crazy and also not easy in a country like India. You must be having many of the experieces on the road. Hats off to you guys because you guys have done this while shooting video, its too hectic. Great video.
It was one hell of a ride. Thank you so much for the appreciation 🙏🏽
All this I can do on my TB500 too without the infamous back sore, cruising between 95Kmph & 105Kmph. Thinking not to upgrade for now after this review😊. Thank you very much!
What is tb500?
@@gnanasabaapatirg7376 Thunderbird 500
I have traveled on Thunderbird 500 from kolhapur to indore in single day...l have also travelled from indore to Dwarka, Gujrat, on the same bike in single day..l only used to take frequent Intermittent breaks every 1.5 hours to hydrate myself and stretching 20 min long break for food..Born to ride..love my TB500.
That’s awesome 👍🏼
Thank you for taking us on this ride!
Great video. I remember doing it from Bengaluru to Pune on my thunderbird 500 back in 2017. So painful.
Thank you 🙏🏽
This was a very well put together video. Credit to you and your cameraman. I'm scheduled to ride a 1000km ride in a few weeks and wanted to see what it feels like. I'll be riding a BMW F800GT and am based in New Zealand. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Waiting for the Classic 650, this one is is more made for the international audience.
Yes, the Classic 650 would be a much more comfortable motorcycle.
Great effort…!!
It requires planning and execution for such rides. I guess 1k km ride on any bike would give a lower back n butt pain..!!
Keep it up and have great rides ahead..!
Thanks for commenting MD! But I believe one can do this more comfortably on a motorcycle on which you can stand up and ride for a longer duration.
Indeed, it requires a lot of meticulously planning. Especially, when you also need to shoot while riding! Wastes a lot of time.
Excellent review! To be honest I do not think many riders are willing to do 1000 km in one day, whatever the bike they ride, so the fact that you did it and found the SM60 comfortable for around 800 km was surprisingly good.
A 20 hours ride in any kind of vehicle including 4 wheelers will be a big ask let alone a bike ride. Super meteor is not a bike but a work of art from RE.
Bhai wo camera man bhi 1000 kilometers chale..?
Salute bhai usku
The whole team of cameraman, photographer, and the support crew did the 1000km in a day. Thank you 🙏🏽
Your narration is just top notch. Subscribed
This video screams quality and dedication, good one!
Been waiting all of several months for this thing to arrive in Australia. It's April now, but it ain't here yet. I just want to get this thing and give it a try, damn it!
Do check with your local dealership for more info.
Great review, my man! Thank you and your team for putting in the hours and the effort. You are right... 800 kms it is already a good stretch for a test drive. 🙏🏻
Even taking video is an art, I really appreciate the camera man
Thank you for the appreciation 🙏🏽
What a great video, charming presenter and great camera work
5:29 My favourite speed range, 60-80 kmph. I also ride my RE between 60-80.
Unfortunately every cruiser seat stock is not good. Are the shocks adjustable?
Very Nice and informative video, thank you 🤗
We are glad that you liked our content. Thank you 🙏🏽
Good review... Standing up while riding is something I wouldn't publicize as it could prove dangerous for an amateur.. Taking regular breaks during long rides should be the safety message... This is not criticism, just a recommendation for your future videos...
Thank you for the suggestion, as well as the appreciation.
Cinematic is Wowwww to next level. Hattsoff to DOP
Thank you for the appreciation 🙏🏽
Very good video. I'm eager to know how the Super Meteor fares against the Meteor. Except for the obvious 650 vs 350 engine and the accompanying power difference, how much better is the Super Meteor over the Meteor? Is the 2 lakh add-on a justified expenditure?
Hi Vyshak. The 650 is better on many fronts! The overall build quality, the brakes, the engine refinement, the handling, stability, gearbox, almost everything is several notches better. And of course, the much more imposing road presence. And although you already know this, the difference in engine performance itself is massive and justifies the hefty premium.
It does justify the premium but meteor is also good enough if u want to cruise at 80kmph....it will also return atleast 30% better fuel efficiency...
That's a very good point Kailash.
@@kailashsingh7169 Yes, for that price, Meteor 350 is great, if you're not concerned about things like higher cruising speed, better refinement, more visual appeal, and better build quality.
Nicely brought out. U did experience a tough journey though. Did u specifically restrict the speed to 80kmph? The bike does need lot of improvements. Keeping in mind the horrific traffic in Bangalore, How could you rip through Bangalore traffic is a mystery bcoz Bengaluru has the worst traffic conditions in the country. I hv lived there 56 years & traffic conditions are only going from worst to pathetic to hell. Anyway, the super meteor 650 needs a handlebar riser & 2 pairs of aux lights, where in GR40 (Gold Runway 40) is the best suited for indian bikes & road & traffic conditions. The crash guard can be fitted with highway pegs so that u can rest & stretch your legs. Rider back rest in your bike can be installed which gives a much need support for back. Also Pune has one excellent superbike accessories shop which can help u in this field. Bangalore too has a great guy Sandeep Dhaiya who fabricates the back rest as per your choice & personal requirements. Best wishes.
We had to follow the speed limits of 70kmph and 80kmph throughout Maharashtra and Karnataka.
We reached Bangalore post 12am, so traffic wasn’t much. In fact barely any traffic.
Thanks for the information Fat Bob :)
This is one of the best reviews that I have ever saw on Super Meteor, Kudo to the BikeWale team 💐
It’s not the destination it’s the adventure. 700-800 km per day is enough. Need to be able to stop and smell the roses
Wonderful Video. I too have the same bike and the same windshield extender, The wind shield extender supports pretty well while driving in high speed.
Yes it does initially. But it starts affecting on such longer rides. It also depends on your height.
Superb episode in every possible way💯🔥💥
Thank you so much for the kind words and appreciation, Yadukrishnan. 🙏🏽
Ya dear I can totally relate to the soreness.Last week only I undertook a ride from Dharwad to Banguluru on my meteor 350..
Ok 👍🏼
Great job, keep it up bro ❤
Congratulations Bro 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great video.. all important points covered, and very well summarised.
Its not that people plan 1k per day rides regularly, even hardcore rider do it once a while.
If people want to do 1k ride in a day... just pick up the kawasaki versys 650... its sofa on wheels. I have personally done bangalore to guwahati in 3 days straight on a versys.
Day 1 Bangalore to Vizaz
Day 2 vizaz to burdwan
Day 3 Burdwan to Guwahati
All early morning starts at 03.30am.
It's amazing to see genuine channels putting straight-up honest opinions and reviews with their utmost hard work for us. It's not only emotional but also envious as well. You're awesome! Thank you. 😊 ❤
Thank you for the kind words and appreciation 🙏🏽
Camera man , editor and the rider 🤍
Also the direction 🫶
Hats off for your efforts 👏
Liked. Subscribed. Excellent job ❤
Please make this series continue, with 390 Adventure, 310 GS, and Yezdi Adv next.
That’s a good idea. However repeating a similar storyline wouldn’t work! Do suggest a few ideas.
Would be interested in your doing the same route on an Interceptor 650
I'm a little concerned about the stiff ride on the Super Meteor
Thank you for the video 👍🏻
Take a test-ride and decide bro😊
The Interceptor will do much better in terms of ride quality. But, the seating comfort and ergonomics could be an issue.
This video has some of the finest camera angle, shots. Great videography
Very well done. Thank you so much. We can listen to your coverage all day. Your parents did a good job. Your honesty assessment of the REM motorcycle, gave it much weight.
I drive my gt 650 Hyderabad to sharjapur , banglore in 7.5hours , 630kms . You can actually ring it at 140kmph and just power cruise . The engine in mind blowingly smooth and doesn't overheat at all.
Other company Engine oil use kar n se...bike ka warranty ka kya hoga...
The same company manufactures the RE oil as well.
A reasonably realistic review.
Thank you 🙏🏽
12:10 and .... 800kms is recommended! Yet, great one bro
Thank you Badri 🙏🏽
Great honest review! Thanks
I wanna add this, cruisers by design nature put al lot of stress on your hip bone which is why you had a sore back but kudos to you taking up such a mammoth task of riding 1000kms, you did a mega job!
Thank you so much for the kind words and appreciation 🙏🏽
Great bro . I have done mumbai to Bangalore in a day on RE CLASSIC 350.
Hi, screen extension is a Royal Enfield accessorie?
Nope.
Very well done video. I hope the Super Meteor comes to Canada.
Thank you Dan. We hope it is launched soon in Canada. 🙂
Good one!
By the way, I heard your positives and negatives about the super meteor while touring. I have specific question.
Would you say that something like a Suzuki VStorm SF250 would fare better with regard to comfort in terms of driving posture, seating comfort and ride comfort.
Really nice title ... 1000 kms in a single day !!! 😀😀😀
We hope you liked our content and presentation.
A big salute & respect to you folks to pull it off this well🤍
Just awesome 👍 video buddy 🎉
WE from the RE appreciate your feat as you punish your back to prove a point to the viewers.
Thank you for your concern.
