Damn, wonderful video dude. Cleared many doubts and questions that even the RE sales person at their showroom couldn’t. Totally going for the Interstellar model. Can’t wait for its ride review.
This is only for long rides. Won't cut for city commutes. Even if seats are customized for comfort, still many issues for intra city commutes. Top spec will sell for touring guys.
You are comparing between two very disparate bikes. If you're looking at the Honda, the Interceptor can provide the same format of bike with much more fun. Super Meteor doesn't really have competitors
The launch of RE Meteor 650, closed the door for most middle-weight cruisers mainly including the Honda CMX 500. Meteor 650 proved CMX wrong in the frame design and pillion seat. Good Job by RE.
Yes. The cruiser segment is finished now till e-vehicle revolution. Harley dream could be fulfilled. Unless Honda releases rebel at competitive price like they released CB350.
What's your take on the vibration in rear view mirrors and the size of the same, the oddly placed heal and toe shifter (it's much elevated than the foot rest) and gives a hack of a pain in foot, the much talked about switches are hyped and don't give a over moon kind of finish as has been talked off, they are just normal switches, the ground clearance is pretty low, the very 'useful' charging point under the side panel. Though the bike is good which mostly goes to the engine, there nothing over the top.
1.Aluminium casing is given, so it is really an upgrade 2.foot pedals are your personal problem for some its comfortable for some , it's not 3.Ground clearance is lower as compared to previous models but sufficient for Indian Roads 4.The charging port is located there as it will help keep it away from rain 5.The switches feel tactile and responsive and more PREMIUM as compared to previous models
@@HATCH5T I can agree with you on most except for ground clearance. This bike won't even pass my neighbourhood speed breaker without touching it. The ride is very stiff because of that. Ground clearance should have matched with Meteor 350.
Meteor 650 is more practical and a better option. Unless someone is a die hard fan of a cruiser type Motorcycle the 650 Super Meteor has many things going against it. Low ground clearance would make life difficult on pothole ridden roads especially in monsoon. Very heavy thereby difficult to handle. The weight increases drag on the highway and the highway fuel economy drops considerably. All said and done people who like cruiser would love it anyway.
nope people are literally torchuring this machine for that but the suspension is like an elephant it is not at all smudging lol ..those poor springs must be chocking inside those forks but the damm bike not even lowering 5mm with pillion the rear shocks are hard and also heavy as f .an aftermarket ones l itself will loose you 7kn a good exhaust if it saves 10kg and good rear shocks and pillion seat removal and saree guard removal and ola you only have a cruiser that is just 10kg heavier than the twins wait some time i too hated the bike but just test ridden today i weigh 93kg my dad 85 we both sat and the bike suspension diddnt even click but the exhaust is soooooo beautiful you will surely slow down for other reason the seat if you are not at slower pace and try to jump on speed breaker the seat throws you off the bike 😅😅😅😅 that damm rear shocks and the seat requires sheer control over the bike so only go with it if you are a cruiser guy and have control if you want peace of mind go with int 650 ps:- the int 650 and conti gt felt heavier to ride for me xd the u turn , in gear roll on acceleration i driven the 650's back to back in 6 sessions and the sweet spot is sm650 for sporty and muscular feel go with conti gt cause except the interstller and celestials the base one was kept side by side and meteor 350 and sm650 looks almost same from one angle so in the future this bikes will fade out from eyes eventually but conti gt tank and its presence is ✌✌✌✌ literally spend 4hrs in showroom today testing these bikes . waiting for some one to release a exhaust before taking delivery i booked for a gt650 but delayed it i said to my dealer i will wait for alloy version but if that version is not upto mark i will go with sm650 there are only 5 bookings in my city and only 1 interstellar,
@@anneakhil The updated alloy version also has better switchgear and led headlights. Spokes although looks very good on these bikes are headache in India. I was planning to buy SM 650 but the low ground clearance and it's unpracticality has made me finalized Honda CB350. Pillion comfort is non existent on 650 twins and cruiser style bikes aren't well suited for India roads. I am also 100% sure I will buy next gen Himalyan when it gets released so i don't want to keep 2 Enfields in my garage. That's why chose CB350. Will purchase later this month.
Petrol bahut khaa ti hai... Heating problem No liquid cool system Heavy feel Wind screen with cuts geap .. Stiffer site shock absorber Long wheel base distance.. Ect ect
Which bike or scooter according to you ticks all boxes 1) CC 150 - 250 2) Light Weighted 3) Very coomfortable for both Rider and Pillion Seat 4) Very coomfortable sitting posture for both Rider and Pillion Seat 5) Very Good Front and Rare shock Absorbers (Softer Side) 6) Crusing Speed 80-90 7) Dual Channel ABS 8) Slipper Assist Clutch 9) Fuel Economy around 35 Kmpl 10)On Road Cost around 2 Lakhs 11)Meter Console with Gear Position Indicator, Clock, Distance to Empty. 12)Tyre type and size very decent to give good stability and grip during high speed and wet conditions. 13) Good after sale service and availability of spare parts. 14) No Engine Heating issue in traffic.
I just do not understand why all these Indian channels show CORNERING on a CRUISER! come on for the sake of motorcycling. Cruisers are NOT for cornering!!!!
Who uses the word tarmac in India ?? What kind of mentality is this ? Using words which are not used for specifying something but just to sound different/superior
No thanks, these look like apologies than answers, after two 'answers' I went off, now on will think twice before clicking on ZW 'unbiased' reviews, best for ZW and RE mediocrity...long live mediocre efforts...
@@arnabdeka3460 I live in shimla... its not for comfort and long rides like class and meteor 350, if you are looking for looks than go for it , but if you want real tourer bike than I think use your brain and buy some adventure bike , plus Royal Enfield reliability is very poor
@@arnabdeka3460 these RU-vid channel are paid, companies give them money to put charm in their brand , I think you should first think what you want from bike , after all its a machine
@@saurabhbawawohnhaftinnerem4429 Do you know the meaning of reliability atleast. I own a Classic 350 with 26000 kms on odo and Meteor with 19000 kms on odo. I have not faced any major issue and the Classic 350 having faced an accident , which was in a riding condition with brakes and clutch functioning even after the accident and left my brother with minor fractures. First get your facts right!
@@saurabhbawawohnhaftinnerem4429 bro sadly I'll have to disagree with you. Royal Enfield has really upped their game in terms of quality so if you say that such a bike is unreliable then it really is the fault of the owner and his approach towards maintaining his machine. No machine however well built it is will last if it's periodic maintenance is not taken care off. I'm an owner of a KTM Duke 390 and a RE Thunderbird both running exceptionally well.
