You Won’t Believe what we found out about Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650! 

Very realistic review. RE bikes are very well positioned on the market. There is a lack of such machines, at least in Europe and probably also US. I think that this is a keeper and if you are gonna keep it serviced and clean... you can have it for years. A nice video bro. Enjoyed.

I have one, I recently passed my full test. Its a great beginner bike and so far put 800 miles on it. Couple of things to add, its very good for a taller rider I'm 6ft 5 and its very comfortable. I have some very tall friends who have them and like it for the same reason. It also has a nice amount of torque for a beginner. It can happily sit at 70 and do overtakes on the motorway with plenty left. Its the right amount of power to learn on and wont give you a fright as its very predictable. I find it far easier to ride than other 650s I rode, its very predictable, gear change is very smooth and its not high revving or frantic. You can bimble around safely building your skills and there's little chance you will get into trouble. As a bigger guy too mirrors are good so I can see a decent chunk of road as opposed to my arm. I describe it as an ak47 of motorbikes it is all metal and built like a tank. Only downsides I found, turning circle isn't great and it is heavy and while the weight is low it is a lot to maneuver if your trying to push it round. One last point, it is a looker, looks are subjective but I get stopped and told its a good looking bike every time I am out.

You don't sound like you have a lot of confidence in these bikes. I would point to the fact that these people have put a 3-year warranty on this bike to bolster your confidence. I'd also say stop trying to compare it to a bigger faster more powerful bike. Evaluate it on what it is. It is big enough. It is powerful enough. It is fast enough and it is comfortable.

I don’t know that RE still has a “stigma of cheap bikes”. Ever since they’ve brought out the 650 twins, which have now been shown to be bullet proof, with a built quality which is on par with Yamaha and kawa (I still have a soft spot for Honda build quality 😂) … they’re great affordable bikes for the common man. RE as well as CFMOTO are currently the only brands who are actively innovating their bikes and making them affordable for all markets.They deserve to be much better regarded in general.

Longevity isn't an issue with RE… In India, the marque is considered an heirloom purchase, passed from father to son, and many Royal Enfields have been through generations. PS: I've had my Interceptor for four years, used all year round with no issues, and I'm very pleased with it (I'm just about to go out on it, meeting a mate who has an older Bullet he bought from a departed friends widow and restored.) My other bike… a hot rodded old Glide… I've had for the last 31 years of the over half century I've been riding, so long term usage is a habit with me.

You also made a comment that , kinda suprised me..something like " you pay half the price of the big boys , your bike last half the amount of time... Thats basically saying it is not of the same quality as some of the " big boys " ..i would love to hear your response..i have only heard that this bike was well built...

Few comments. Hope you enjoyed your test. I obtained one to go with my Interceptor and scram. Yes. It's built like a tank. Back brake far more powerful than interceptor with the bigger fitted disk. Engine tune is a little different to Int 650, but not by much. Side panels and mudguards are now steel and not plastic so i suggest you treat with wax oil if you ride in wet and winter British weather. What i would like to see is a real good quality set of slash cut mufflers. Overall i love it and is now my first choice ride. Have fun dudes..

You'd have to do a lot more than change the silencers & air filter to get 60 BHP.

I remember the stigma with the Skoda and that’s now long gone and likewise with the royal Enfield these days they are a great bike

Apparently there's a 650 scrambler on the way (released end of this year?). RE have just trademark registered the name, "Interceptor Bear 650". Same frame, lump and tank, USD forks, longer travel shocks, 19" front x 17" rear spoked + dual sport tyres, bit more ground clearance and a 2 into1 header with a short upswept can.

Good review. I pick up my super meteor 650 in blue. The same bike you had out. I think the sound and looks are great. Plus I'm 5'8inside leg 29. So no problem flat footing it. Round on march the 1st.

A good review RE are definitely smashing and dominating the budget bike market 😎👌 a lot of bike for the money 💰

Waiting for what you find out....

We would love to hear from some owners of this Meteor 650 now it has been available for some time, Tell us about your experiences and miles now done....

Do not kid yourself the 650 mill has so far proven to have great longevity.That said R.E. bikes have always been able to make it about 60,000 miles before total rebuilds.That is very good and these new ones will be better yet.

My HD Sportster has 400,000on the original engine.All you have to do is change the engine oil and filter and gearbox fluid changes. Easy peasy. Belt drive lasts 100,000 miles. Hydraulic valve adjustments as well.Road test a Stormbreaker.

I watched your video..and you had a lot of negative things to say about this bike . You are the 1st u-tuber i saw do that.., everyone eles said it was a good bike..I dont know much about bikes , so i look at these videos to try to learn some things..

Oh yeah and by the way it's not really a review, more an initial impression, as a test ride is not enough time to get to know a bike in depth 👍🏻😉

That's a great bike! sucks about the weather though.

waiting for the bike to arrive in Brazil.

this color I'm going to buy

How is the suspension ? The horn? How often does it need to have valve clearance checks? How long is the warranty and can one buy an extension. Does it take long to receive parts since it is manufactured in India? Is the front screen adjustable up and down? Does it run on regular or high test ?

Not restricted, just heavy so it complies with a2, you can’t make it more powerful as it is old style, single over cam shaft, can’t get to high tpm :)

Very sort of luke warm review compared with several others Ive read. I do own an Interceptor which I bought from CMS two years ago and they are good people to deal with. If this meteor is anything like the interceptor then it is a brilliant bike.

Think you should re-test ride the SM 650 in the dry. Should give a good comparison as well.

I seriously doubt you will get 60bhp just by swapping the exhaust system and air filter, maybe if you swap the cam shaft like the TEC bikes cam on the Himalayan, but that aside purely on 'bang for ya buck' it's pretty much unbeatable 😉

A bit underpowered but if you do a stage 1 engine upgrade, you'll get to 60hp. Overall, a decent bike and I love the paint jobs on offer but, I still think Kawa Vulcan is by far superior for £200 more.

I love that package and blue color

People seriously got very wrong misconception that all affordable thing should be low quality 😅😅😅 affordable things are those companies specially designed for all types whether they are rich or poor but can still afford it with the same top notch quality you get by paying for hella overpriced bikes. some people compared super meteor with Harley bikes and say ohh it is a cheap bike and is for beginners compared to Harley 😅😅😅and here I'll say CC isn't all about the riders look for instead they look for comfortable, enjoyable, reliable and affordable ride with some power and thump so around below 1000cc bikes are more than enough for riders whether they are pro or beginners though i am only talking about Retro bikes not racing bikes and for as cheapness no R.E is giving top notch bike with affordable prices it's just Harley is taking too much for the bikes they make just like how Apple charged half the price more just for it's brand value.😅😅😅

Looks wise, the gt is my favorite ❤️

Beauty bike but I don't do forward controls. I'm waiting on the 450 Himi. If I don't get that ill get the Int. !

Big difference between home market and export models.The old bikes were rebuiltable forever, the new one has a cheap engine that is not.

Not particularly interested in this bike just enjoy your channel and thoughts on reviews, just one question why do you hold the hand grips right at the end I’ve noticed a few reviewers do the same

So what wouldnt we believe????

What is this thing that we wont believe...?

"You won't believe what we found out about the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650"? You didn't find out much, did you. Vague. The background music didn't add anything, either.

"Great bike for a learner"? Not in the UK!

So what is it that you are going to reveal about the Super Meteor that is so unexpected that I will refuse to believe it?

Not meant to be driven hard ? Lol

Ditch the music!

You won't believe how lame I find these clickbaity titles to be.

Rubbish review!! It's a great bike with good build quality. BMW at £18000 is no better
