As a Meteor 350 owner, I can vouch for the build quality; RE has really upped its game. While I can't speak for any of the other bikes on this list, the Meteor doesn't just appeal to beginners; many of us experienced riders like it too; the Meteor is my 12th bike. We're older, so we're downsizing; we want something lighter weight, easier to manage, economical to operate, and fun. For me, the Meteor ticked all those boxes... :)
How's the maintenance costs? My last bike was a ktm, and I've been looking at anything Honda for maintenance and reliability reasons, but if RE is comparable...
@@shellbackbeau7021 the beauty about the Meteor is it's a simple bike, so you can do much of the maintenance yourself. For example, there are only two valves, and they're screw & locknut-very easy to do yourself. I'd heard of the first service costing $400 or more in the US, but I don't know; I haven't brought my bike to the dealer yet. One, it's 45 minutes away on a good day, which means a minimum 1.5 hours round trip. Two, there's the matter of getting to and from the dealer. One of the reasons I got the Meteor is because it is possible to do much of the work yourself. Not only does this save you money; it means knowing that the job was done right.
Here in India , meteor costs around 3000 dollars and is literally everyone's first choice It's a very good bike for daily commuting and for rides on weekends here in india
Hi! A little bird told-me there is some regulation in india limiting bike's speed to 120 km/h (what would explain some odd behaviour from the meteor at top speed). How much of this gossip is true?
Something that I wasn't aware of when looking at a first time motorcycle purchase is the additional fees. I was looking at a KTM 390 Duke with an MSRP of $5,799USD. When I talked to a local dealer I found out the out the door price (tax, title, license, freight, assembly, etc) was over $9,000. Something to keep in mind. You're going to pay a LOT more than $5k for a brand new "$5k" bike.
I have 2500 miles on my meteor and absolutely love that motorcycle. Considering build quality and what you get for the price I don’t think you can beat it. Awesome bike thumbs up to Royal Enfield
Got the Meteor 350 a few months back and put some money I saved into a full system exhaust, performance air filter, ecu tuner and fully synthetic engine oil from motul and I can guarantee this thing is very very enjoyable 👍🏽
Papa Yam Finally got my first bike (its a 2001 Iron 883) i picked it up for the equivalent of 1900 dollars (the sports bikes i wanted were way too expensive) but i couldn't be happier, thanks for all the lessons and knowledge
The Iron model of the 883 Sportster came out in 2009. If it was sold to you as an '01 Iron, then you have been lied to. You can do a VIN check to see what model it actually is.
My first bike was the Duke 200. It was a great starter, especially as I was afraid I'd goose the throttle and find myself in a wall. It prepared me for my scout.
Just got my first bike the other day. A 1980 suzuki gs450 Its in nice shape for its age and despite having 20k on it the thing runs like a top and rides smoothly as far as I can tell. im happy with it.
I learned on the duke 200, that first gear was a little brutal to learn on especially when doing the serpentine and needing to idle intelligently. We missed that bike when we sold it. It has a lot of character and the styling is charming.
I'm enjoying my new 2022 CB300r. Might change the sprocket but with Two Bros. Pipe, tidy tail and k&n filter did make some difference, small but worth the effort. Plenty quick and a bit snappy,. No problem hitting 95 mph, but topped out Rpm at 9600rpm. Little Puig windscreen helps a bunch too. Fun to ride and very different experience for me from my Yamaha 1100 Virago.
So, it's a single cylinder with less HP than the MT03, and has known reliability issues once you get over 10K miles on it... so why get the Honda instead of Yamaha? I was tempted myself, until I did the research. Hope you have better luck than other people, or sell it once you hit 10K miles.
@@ws8080 what are the issues? Not heard of any. The mt costs more here so it's a no go for me if I buy brand new. I honestly prefer the look of the Honda and I'm past caring about speed. I want a little go obviously but the Honda is quick enough. So that's why id choose it over the Yamaha. But you could yet change my mind with these known issues?
I feel like the CBR300 would be a bike I could just ride without having to figure out what's wrong with it once a month. Of course my recommendation, so long as they're tall enough, is the DR650.
Yammie Noob, if you read this can you please at chapters to your videos? 1. BMW G310R @1:02 2. KTM Duke 200 @2:10 3. Honda CBR 300R @4:23 4. Yamaha MT03 @5:26 5. Kawasaki KLX230 @6:33 6. Suzuki DR200 @7:31 7. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 @8:50
I recently picked up a Royal Enfield Classic 350, "little brother" to the Meteor (same engine, slightly different seating position and instrument cluster - it doesn't come with the Meteor's "Tripper" system), and I absolutely love it. It's definitely not a "crotch rocket", it won't win any drag races, and it struggles at speeds over 60 MPH, but it's a great commuter bike, and great for weekend joyrides on the backroads (like the one I enjoyed today). And with an MSRP of US$4,599-, it's very affordable.
you can get the tripper for the classic 350 too, but yea it's out of stock (in india idk about other countries) , it gets installed below your main gauge where you have the RE logo right now
"it struggles at speeds over 60 MPH" the way people excuse these pitiful bikes-- even the venerable old KLR650 doesn't struggle with highway speed. Ninja 400 handles highway. 4599 can get lots of gently used awesome practical bikes.
Just because it's not the right bike for you doesn't make it wrong for someone else. If it doesn't suit your needs, don't buy one. KLR 650 and Ninja 400 don't suit my needs. And show me one of those "gently used awesome practical bikes" that comes with a factory warranty.
@@englishsteel-nz6im Great. Since your opinion is the only one that could possibly be correct, I'll return mine posthaste, and exchange it for YOUR favorite bike.
I bought my first motorcycle after I got out of the Navy in 69. It was a 1970 HONDA CL 90. Now I have more fun riding slow bikes fast then fast bike slow. With gas prices now, I love my Versys 300 ADV. Nothing wrong with getting 65 mpg.
The G310R is a fun little bike, but after several test rides I think it would be best served for city riding and short highway rides because it is very buzzy at highway speeds, and easily swayed by winds. It also is very twitchy with the single cylinder and can be jerky at slow speed maneuvers with the throttle feeling very on/off.
Fun video!! Yeah RE Meteor 350 made list. Gem of an engine!!I have the meteor 350 and it is an awesome bike- even for a veteran rider like me. Great build quality cool little rumble good Acceleration, Smooth shifter and just an all-around great feeling bike. Feels like a much more expensive bike Allan So Cal USA
Bmw specifically made the cheaper model for Indian youths and it's one of the best selling in the segment... 1-G310r/Apache rr 310 made by TVS 2-Ktm duke 200/390 are go to bikes for Indian youths made by Bajaj 3- Also meteor/ classic 350, it's one of the bikes which adults prefer because the heritage of RE... no one gives a fuck about how good those bikes are but you will have a lot of respect just owning a RE...
yammie! we luv you and everyone in the yammie noob team and we thank you for everything you've done for the motorcycle community! I've been a watching your videos for years now and you never disappoint! keep up the great work! :)
So I own(ed) a Honda CBR500R and it was amazing. Definitely recommend. Just lost it on the 4th in a motorcycle accident but I walked away mostly in one piece. CBR is a great bike and might buy again. Don't forget, wear your gear too lads!
Since I already have two off road japanese motorcycles , I think I'm just going to start collecting Royal Enfields. They're magically the best looking and best priced motorcycles available. So sick.
Love your use of Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 in so many of your videos! Top notch content as always. I’ll be getting myself on 2 wheels for the first time real soon, and thanks to you I feel like I have an advantage over other first timers.
I was too considering DR200 was on it. The TW200 is awesome and I've driven mine around the world. Limiting factor is the 5-speed transmission 50mph (80km/h) is really all it wants to do for any amount of time. It's slow. Slower than my Grom, slower than my CBR125, and way slower than my CBR250R. Some of the newer KLX have 6-speeds now, so that's a win for a first-timer dual sport. I think some people wanting a do-it-all would feel the TW200 lacks something and would be disappointed.
Just finished building my first bike I now have a 2007 GS500 had to rebuild the motor but some one gave me 2 gs500 bikes b4 they scraped them. One had rust in the cylinders the other had rust in the case I Finally got one back on the road it only took $400 and some weekends this week I'm getting my second bike 1989 honda shadow my coworker is done looking at it in his garage I'm told it needs love and ignition switch hopefully so maybe another $400 on the second
Also, the last time I checked there's also the Suzuki TU250x which usually goes for about 4k, depending on who you're buying from, but that seems to be the popular MSRP for that bike at least.
TU250X was quietly discontinued somewhere between 2016-2020, it was sad, but the bike was too luxurious for it's price so it's understandable they stopped making it.
@@joecamel6835 We're talking about Suzuki TU250X also known in japan as ST250E or as F9 called it a shrunken Bonneville. I do think TW200 still produced in 2021, but not sure 2022.
You might critize the Suzuki GSXR 250R but everything you seem to dislike about it....is the selling point for me I like heavy, I like moderate speeds not looking to go fast. Not one CFmoto on your list.
Thanks again for another great video. I have been watching you all for some tips and tricks about getting and maintaining a bike. I was wondering if you had any videos on does and don'ts when it comes to washing a bike. For example: Is it safe to use a pressure washer at a car wash? What kind of soaps matter? Things like that.
Here in Europe not a single one of these is actually under €5000, cheapest one is the Meteor 350 in yellow for €5795 aka $6100. Also lower salaries. feelsbadman
RE are good. But before discounting Chinese machines the Zontes ZT350 is making big inroads . It's well made got a good LC power plant . The other Chinese bikes have crap lumps ,but this Zontes is a different ball game. All the gizmos and the adventure T2 model is excellent.
i have been commenting in videos for yam to mention the dr200 for so long, i am so glad he finally put it out there and didn't down it at all, because it is a solid bike, and i love mine. to anyone that owns one, or considers getting one, it can gain huge power with exhaust and carburetor. mine gets 50mpg completely wound out at 65mph on country routes, at speed limit gets 70mpg (55mph) and offroad only mileage is around 100 to 80, depending on how you ride. fastest I've had mine is 77mph and it sounded like it wanted to blow up, 65mph is the most i want to rev it on pavement. i am certain with some gear changes, you could get it up to highway capable speeds, probably would have to do the power upgrades with that though.
Well if I going to get a new one I'd probably go for that Royal Winfield with the 800cc upgrade that way you just have plenty of torque to rumble down the road and you hit headwinds across out here in the Open West and it'll just keep on thumping.
Have you rode a KTM 200 Duke yet ? I have just over 5,000 miles on mine. This isn't my first motorcycle I've been riding street bikes for 25 years. Extremely awesome motorcycle. Especially good for people with no self control 😜
Oh, great. Now I’m thinking about getting a motorcycle as a second vehicle with the money I get from selling my old pickup truck. Thanks a lot, Yammie. 🏍😎
I think that these all also contend for best “commuter” bikes under 5k! I only have a 20 mile commute & gas being what it is I’m looking to leave the FJR HOME 🏡 for long distance riding. Keep up your Yammieness!
My first bike was a red with chrome fenders1980 Yamaha 400 special that had 5000k on it. I picked the bike up at a garage sale for $300 due to the fact the front was smashed in an accident. I sent the bike to a bike shop they straightened the forks I put a new front tire and front fender on and Wala I was riding the bike for $700 to fix it. I rode the bike for about a year and a half with no problems except a battery dying to trade for a 1974 Camaro that ended up giving me all sorts of problems. I should have kept the bike.
Don't forget - you will have to pay Freight, Set up, Processing Fee, Tax, Title/Registration on top of the MSRP. Manufacturers like Harley has Surcharge on top all those Fees.
Show me where you can get a Meteor for under 5 grand! I wanted one. I TRIED to buy one. Every single dealer I contacted bumped the MSRP as much as 1500 bucks. 376 freight, 175 "set up" . 294.50 "document" fee... and so it went. Some higher, none lower.
Are there any motorcycle give aways going on right now? Because, damn, I'm trying so hard to scrape together some cash to solve my transportation problem.
The Royal Enfield is a seriously underrated bike. Decent list except the 2 definite dirt bikes. Not sure people have any idea how to use "simpin" in a sentence anymore 🤷♂️😂

Thanks again for another great video. I have been watching you all for some tips and tricks about getting and maintaining a bike. I was wondering if you had any videos on does and don'ts when it comes to washing a bike. For example: Is it safe to use a pressure washer at a car wash? What kind of soaps matter? Things like that.
Theres a Honda 350 highness it's actually pretty cool! Think you missed that one!
Here in Europe not a single one of these is actually under €5000, cheapest one is the Meteor 350 in yellow for €5795 aka $6100. Also lower salaries. feelsbadman
But then europe is better in many ways then usa and world don't worry about few pounds
lol, here in india, the meteor 350 costs around 3k dollars
Where do you live? In Austria the current price is 5000€ for the Fireball-Edition and last year it was around 4500 maybe a little bit lower 4250.
What swapped me from the car community to the motorcycle community was the cool factor and also money 🤓
My first bike was given to me, and while I've had to work on it, I've got it reliable and you can't beat the value of free
I was wondering if you were gonna mention the husky 401. Waited till the end to comment.
I got myself a 1998 GS500E, I got it for 1800 CAD because the carb needed rejetting and tuning
Yep, people will sell carbed bikes for near nothing that only need a clean out and a battery.
Could you do a video about the best 125cc bikes for the Europeans that cant jump straight on a 600
I like how you completely ignored Honda's 125cc options that are cheaper than everything you listed.
Because it's the top 7 not the cheapest 7

Thanks so much for this list I've been struggling to find yammie verified bikes for under 5k and this was exactly what I needed
Gotta love that Truman show line at the beginning
RE are good.
But before discounting Chinese machines the Zontes ZT350 is making big inroads .
It's well made got a good LC power plant .
The other Chinese bikes have crap lumps ,but this Zontes is a different ball game.
All the gizmos and the adventure T2 model is excellent.
i have been commenting in videos for yam to mention the dr200 for so long, i am so glad he finally put it out there and didn't down it at all, because it is a solid bike, and i love mine. to anyone that owns one, or considers getting one, it can gain huge power with exhaust and carburetor. mine gets 50mpg completely wound out at 65mph on country routes, at speed limit gets 70mpg (55mph) and offroad only mileage is around 100 to 80, depending on how you ride. fastest I've had mine is 77mph and it sounded like it wanted to blow up, 65mph is the most i want to rev it on pavement. i am certain with some gear changes, you could get it up to highway capable speeds, probably would have to do the power upgrades with that though.
It's solid but very outdated and therefore overpriced. I'll take the KLX instead.
Haha that back to the future joke made me sub.
Thank you for posting this video supposedly theirs gonna be a 650 cruiser for the USA around August 2022
Daddy Yam what about the Honda ADV150?
I don't think he covers scoots. I drive a Ruckus and Burgman, both great.
Thanks for the video, guy. May I recommend you include the name of each model on screen in your next video?
Well if I going to get a new one I'd probably go for that Royal Winfield with the 800cc upgrade that way you just have plenty of torque to rumble down the road and you hit headwinds across out here in the Open West and it'll just keep on thumping.
How about the Royal Enfield Himilayan? They are listed for around $4995 in many places and they seem to have a good reputation for not breaking?
Thanks so much for these lists Yammie. Keep it going.
the usa doesnt get the vitpilen/svartpilen 250.
its the best looking bike under 5000 buckaroos
Wait really? Under 5000?
In India it's around 3000usd
my first bike is a hyosung gt250r and I'm super happy with it and it feels great
Knew yams would find a way to get the husky on there
Have you rode a KTM 200 Duke yet ? I have just over 5,000 miles on mine. This isn't my first motorcycle I've been riding street bikes for 25 years. Extremely awesome motorcycle. Especially good for people with no self control 😜
Oh, great. Now I’m thinking about getting a motorcycle as a second vehicle with the money I get from selling my old pickup truck. Thanks a lot, Yammie. 🏍😎
Love your work Yammie Australia needs more Yammie Noob comedy goodness
I think that these all also contend for best “commuter” bikes under 5k! I only have a 20 mile commute & gas being what it is I’m looking to leave the FJR HOME 🏡 for long distance riding. Keep up your Yammieness!
Honda highness kinda guy... Love it. better than meteor that my friend has.
My first bike was a red with chrome fenders1980 Yamaha 400 special that had 5000k on it. I picked the bike up at a garage sale for $300 due to the fact the front was smashed in an accident. I sent the bike to a bike shop they straightened the forks I put a new front tire and front fender on and Wala I was riding the bike for $700 to fix it. I rode the bike for about a year and a half with no problems except a battery dying to trade for a 1974 Camaro that ended up giving me all sorts of problems. I should have kept the bike.
Don't forget - you will have to pay Freight, Set up, Processing Fee, Tax, Title/Registration on top of the MSRP. Manufacturers like Harley has Surcharge on top all those Fees.
KLX was my second choice over my Verses 300 I just bought.
Tha music in the background drove me crazy
Show me where you can get a Meteor for under 5 grand! I wanted one. I TRIED to buy one.
Every single dealer I contacted bumped the MSRP as much as 1500 bucks. 376 freight, 175 "set up" . 294.50 "document" fee... and so it went. Some higher, none lower.
That Husqvarna 401 sure caught my eye!
Hey I had one of those China bikes and it was great. Always started never had any issues. Other than it got stolen
Props for using Bach!
No Yammie!! I didn't click on this video cause I'm a new rider. I clicked on this video because I click on every video you upload!! 😆😆😆
Loving my Meteor 350, very nice first bike
Can you do a review of the CFMoto 650 Adventura and 700 CL-X?
The coolest bike in this video is that sweet Kawasaki at 7:25.
Triumph 😁👍 be out of your mind and take any motorcycle like this on an interstate today
That nostalgia hit when you mentioned the Fifa 2001 disc smelling like grass...
Seriously it did?!
@@ravenovatechnologies6554 yes the disc had some weird texture on top and had a very chemica smell of l grass
There is no way that I just listen to classical music and the first song playing is the song I just finished listening too
Are there any motorcycle give aways going on right now? Because, damn, I'm trying so hard to scrape together some cash to solve my transportation problem.
RE just released the Hunter , great inviting affordable bike.
I like the classic 350 over the meteor 350 but Royal Enfield is coming out with a new 350 here soon
a new 350? what's it called?
@@showoe3126 I think it’s called the 350 hunter
its hunter i guess.
Here in Nepal every bike on this list costs more than $6000.
I was so surprised to know how cheap bikes are in other countries
At 0:21 WTF ?!? That cannot be real...😂😂
The Royal Enfield is a seriously underrated bike. Decent list except the 2 definite dirt bikes. Not sure people have any idea how to use "simpin" in a sentence anymore 🤷♂️😂
do one on dealing with the wind
