Great news. Still don't know which RE to pull the trigger on. Your future vids will help me decide I'm sure.
Great class for beginners and experienced riders
What did you go for... 🤔 pray tell.
*Crap Game*
Planning on signing up for the Basic Riding Course at the local Community College (as I haven't been on a motorcycle in about 35 years). Like you, I was inspired by Noraly with the Himalayan, but based on the riding I would be doing the Meteor makes so much more sense. I enjoy your rides and commentary on the bikes. Your enthusiasm for riding certainly comes through. Stay safe and sane!
Congratulations and welcome to the Two Wheeled World!
400 miles, 300 mile first check up. Running check, smiling along and loving the MPG, COMFORT and FUN
Glad you bought the Meteor. Sold my fatboy last year and thought my ridding days were over. But at 65 im loving my new Meteor supernova brown.
Awesome and congrats Don
Ronin, I'm really HAPPY for you buying the Meteor 350; that's great! BTW, I have the yellow Meteor. I not only like the color of it; I also like the blacked out look. I like everything about the bike that you do, and I like them for the same reason. As someone who just turned 60, I don't need or want to go fast anymore. I had faster bikes when I was younger; I've been there, done that, and lived to tell about it, TYVM! The Meteor goes as fast as I care to go on two wheels anymore.
As for the Classic 350, I'm thinking of getting one of those too. Not only does the bike share the same GEM of an engine with the Meteor; it's freakin' GORGEOUS! RE really nailed the look; they made a modern bike, while making it look as though it came from the late 1940s-early 1950s. Anyway, I shall anxiously await your videos about the Classic 350... :)
Congrats on becoming a Meteor 350 owner. Welcome to the club! ✌️
I can’t wait to see what modifications you present us. I’ve got an appointment to get my 500km checkup and I’ll be having the boys at my local dealership throw on the Air Fly-evo Engine Guard while they’re at it.
2:46 I love root beer. Hires=No. 1…not as syrupy as A&W. Birch beer? Love it. Cream soda? Bring it on!
Absolutely love my new Meteor 350. Fuel economy is amazing and one of the main reasons I got it. I have the yellow and personally think the fireball versions look the best with the blacked out look over the up spec'd versions. :)
Welcome Emily. Email me a photo of you and your bike for subscriber shout out!!
Just ordered the yellow one too, great looking bike. Just thinking of getting the small black screen too.
@@jadonx Loving my Fireball yellow.. 10 months on how's it going... She still with you..? Any issues...?
*Crap Game*
@@Plough78 no issues apart from a known false engine warning light fault that just needed the software update. I love the bike and it gets lots of attention but I must admit Im eyeing up the Suzuki GSX 8S!
Good morning, Sir! Great to hear you're making the Meteor your own. To my knowledge, RE doesn't offer an OEM rear rack but I'm very pleased with the GIVI rack purchased from Hitchcock's. The GIVI is nice quality and fits perfectly. I've just installed a GIVI monolock hard case. It's 29L and available from Dennis Kirk. Cool thing, it's easily removable with no tools and carries like a suitcase. Also ordered a separate monolock base from Amazon for the Interceptor to be able to switch the case easily between the two bikes. The case is good quality and looks great too. Not too big or small. Once again, your Meteor review is spot-on. Thank you for always offering excellent advice and opinions.
You'll be surprised on what rack I'm getting ;)
Hello, Old Man Ronin!
I am watching your channel well in Korea. Royal & Field is also popular in Korea these days. Meteo last year and Classic 350 this year are very popular. I'll look forward to another good video.
Hey fella... I've seen a big change in you over the last oh.. 1 year maybe.. good to see someone appreciate what Enfield owners have been saying in the modern era.. they are well put together simple machines, easy to work on and damn good fun more than anything else. Bless you and Iron Lady and "Keep her on 2 wheels baby".
Well thank you Steve, much appreciated
I have had my meteor for about two months and really love the bike for what it is simple no nonsense transport that is fun to ride. The only bits I don’t like are the tool kit and the brakes in the wet both of which are easy fixes. As to the cost of petrol ordinary unleaded is $7.50 per us gallon and super is $8.00 ish per US gallon in the UK $4 would be an amazingly cheap price to pay.
Hey! First time subscriber.
I saw little man Ronin at 10:24.
I appreciate your reviews and all the content on RE! I've had my eyes on the Himalayan for a while now and we just picked up the meteor for my wife and she loves it! I have an iron 883 so it was her turn to get a motorcycle. Between the different road conditions videos, the return review videos, and how widely you covered the meteor, you're definitely the one who sold us on it. Thank you!
Thank you ever so much and welcome to our channel. Email a pic of you guys with your bike for subscriber shout out
As a new rider your channel has been a great resource and validation of my Meteor purchase. 😆 Glad you’re keeping it! Will you be doing more maintenance/installation videos as well?
Also glad to see you doing more RE content in the future. I keep trying to tell myself I don’t need an Interceptor (yet). If the Meteor can hit 70mph with no problem that should take care of my occasional need to get on the highway out here on the West coast.
PS: saw the little guy go by at 10:24
That's super exciting that you're going to own the Meteor. I'm really excited to see what modifications you make for it. When I first saw the Meteor 350 I totally thought about a little cruiser touring bike so I'll fulfill my fantasy through you for a bit.
Hi Ronin
Thanks for the fantastic Video.
During your bunch of videos about Royal Enfield Meteor 350 i am excited from this machine.
After 30 years absents now i plan to jump in again into the biker community. And one of the reason are ..... your videos.
Greetings from good old Germany ✌👍
Wilkommen Sven!!
You back on the road yet Sven..? What did you buy.. 🤔
*Crap Game*
@@Plough78
Yes , I bought a RE Meteor 350 Super Nova Blue. And i am very happy to ride again. 😀😀😀😀
@@Blue_Merlin Marvelous.. I'm rolling on a Fireball yellow here in North Thailand.Loving it. Might be the perfect steed for this location. Cheers 🍻
*Crap Game*
Nice one Ronin on getting the Meteor, going buy your enthusiasm I just knew you would get one,GOOD CALL! So looking forward to your mods on the meteor also can’t wait to hear your opinion on the new classic 350 & hopefully the Interceptor! Great video as usual from one of the best CZcams channels! Keep up the good work! Ride Safe dude!
Hey Ronin. I'm loving my Himi, and tempted by the Meteor as a garage mate. Had the Classic 500 before my Himi and that was pure motorcycling, so may have to back to back the Meteor and Classic 350s to decide. Thanks for taking us riding each week
Yep, fuel economy is the killer feature. Been thinking about that this last few days a LOT haha! I knew this was the best choice!
At $3 a litre here, economy is the key feature
thanks B Doomer!
Congratulations on getting that as your own. I know you'll be happy tweaking it to the way you like.
And oh, that pump would have come in handy the other week when I had a flat. I had to wait for my ex to drop off my pump that I lent them.
Happy riding ✌️
Awesome bike, just view this meteor 350 at local dealer in NZ this afternoon, this review really help me to make my decision to buy it,Royal Enfield, here I come!!
Hi! I sawLittle Ronin at 10:23. Congrats on you channel. I enjoy it a lot. Keep going!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your prompt and sincere reply, my plan is to keep using the Meteor until the dealer can no longer ignore the issue, I also have a Continental GT535 and a CB300R which I am resting up a while now to see how things develop with the Meteor, ( I've done 50,000kms on the CB and 12,000kms on the GT in the last 3 years). All the other Meteors I've listened to sound nothing like mine, hot or cold, they tend to be reasonably quiet for air/oil cooled engine, anyway, thanks again, take care
$4/US Gallon 🤣😂 There are 3.79 litres in a US Gallon, so you’re paying $1.06/litre (or, on current exchange rate) £0.79GBP/litre. Fuel prices here in the UK are currently £1.51/litre for E10 fuel (or $2.02/litre, or $7.66/US Gallon). E5 99RON fuel is £1.62/litre (or $2.17/litre or $8.22/US Gallon). Thank your lucky stars you’re paying what you pay 🙏🏻 Keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻
I'm happy for you olmanRonin! Congrats on the Meteor! Saw the olmanbiker at 10:24.
Love your Meteor videos ! I’m picking up my new Meteor Friday morning.. !
Hi Ronin. Your enthusiasm for the brand is a beautiful thing. I have a Classic 500 and that bike is a keeper. I call it HG Wells as it's my time machine. I sat on a Meteor 350 a couple of weeks back at the Scottish Motorcycle Show in Edinburgh and it felt really comfortable. Chatting with one of the dealers who told me she had orders in for forty Royal Enfields. I'm trying to persuade my wife to go for her motorcycle licence and I would buy her a Meteor 350, being a gentleman I would need to make sure that it was ran in properly for her. If you think gas your side of the pond is expensive at $4 a gallon ours works out at around $11 a gallon for 99 octane premium, which is what I run the bikes on. Our gallon is larger but not by much. Keep up the great content, always a pleasure watching your posts.
thanks Kevin much appreciated
Wilkins corners I used to love riding rout 79 and the roads running off of it.
Another great video Old Man Ronin. I had mine out today and everything you say about this bike I agree with you. Miles of smiles brother. I saw your little buddy ride by at 10:23. Safe riding sir!
Great news, your content is way better than most on CZcams. Long experience shows, you know your subject. Will be nice to follow coming adventures with that 350, it is a real motorcycle and kudos to RE who understand what riding is all about. Big thumbs up!
Great vid as usual .. RE: the need for saddlebags, for what it's worth: I did get the Hepco & Becker c-bow rig for the Meteor & can recommend. Not the cheapest thing in the world but goes on easily & is rock solid. There is an american distributor based in VA (hooray for that). Looking forward to seeing the mods here.
Congrats old man on the meteor
Congratulations on buying the Meteor. Can't wait to see the mods you guys do with it. I really enjoy your channel plus I learn stuff.
Really liking your RE content. I also own a. HD (1996 Heritage Classic), but there are plenty of people making HD videos. Looking forward to see how you proceed. I bought an INT650 in the beginning of December and now I'm getting Classic Bullet 350 fever. Have a feeling I'll be on one In the 2023 riding season.
Oh yeah, that was my first thought too. That brown reminds me of root beer. Mmmmm, root beer!
Just like the slow food movement caught on ,it seems the slow motorcycle movement is catching on.The only hard choice to me seems to be,Himalayan or Meteor?
Little Ronan rode by at 10m 24 seconds. Great video. I find the Meteor very intriguing.
great stuff mr ronin! i must say, it wasn`t a massive surprise when you said you were going to make the `root beer` your own! The appeal of these royal enfields just keeps growing. i was converted to bullets some 10 years ago, and theses new 350`s are the ONLY alternatives to my 2014 uce bullet classic 500. as you have so well shown, these 350`s are built to RIDE!!!!
Hi great video review of the Meteor. Like you I have a Supernova and love it. Agree a back rack as standard would be great. I have modified my bike a little by making some extension brackets for the backrest. The idea was to move the backrest 3 inches away from the back of the rear seat. This has worked well creating a more comfortable ride two up.
Thanks again man! Hard to beat that bike at that price! Most used Honda, Yamaha,etc bikes that size are around the same price. Great video!
Well done on doing the deal on the Meteor loaner Ronin
Can't wait to get out on my bikes here in UK good sir
Stay safe and catch you on your next video
Little Ronin 10:23 it'll be fun to see what all you do to your Meteor. I added crash bars, rear shocks from a Triumph Bonneville, rear rack (with removable back rest) Airhawk seat cushion, handlebar risers, DNA air filter and bellmouth. Looking for a small vented windscreen and soft luggage. Keep it up!
Well it’s great 👍🏻 finally someone talking about fuel economy.. it better for your budget as well as environment…
Usually people or u tubers miss this point..
Hey, I'm a working man. It's always about the cost of running equipment and RE does it right
@@OlManRonin Yeahhh the secret smile people are getting is probably because of that 😆😆, it’s the same with the car durability and fuel economy drive the choice there for me , power is enough generally in Todays vehicle and with good quality roads people should look at other aspects as well ..
It first came out at 10:23 into the video. Really thinking hard about the Meteor, I already have a bigger cruiser, but want a gas saver. thank you for all the info about the Meteor, will be going to a dealer to check them out at a dealer this coming weekend.
One of the best well organised brilliantly described video I ever seen
Congratulations on owning the bike, looking forward for the mods👍
Congrats on the bike!
Everything you said is spot on. They’re an awesome bike.
Hey Old Man Ronin, thanks for sharing your experience with the Royal Enfield Meteor. I've been riding since I was eleven and I just turned 67. I sold my last Harley last year and am really missing having a motorcycle. I don't need a big heavy bike that I can ride cross country, or one that will run 75-85 on the interstate. I need a small commuter bike to run around town or maybe 40 miles to my part time job. The Royal Enfield seems to be something to really consider. On thing I like is the price and that it's not covered in a plastic shroud, so it should be easy to do standard maintenance and some simple repairs. Thanks, Old Man Johnson
Definitely check them out
I'm excited about you reviewing the Int650. The mouse went riding by at 10:24.
Airmoto entry. The little dude rode by at 10:23 timeslot. Great Job with your videos. I love my 2021 RE INT650, but I really would have gotten the meteor had it been available. God bless.
Hi Robin.
That's just fantastic news that you are buying the bike. I love it. Thanks for a great uplifting video as always.
All the best.
Tim.
That was ment to say Ronin.
Serves me right for not wearing my glasses.
Thanks so much!
RE make a very good right hand box pannier for the Meteor which I already have. Unfortunately they don't (yet) make a left hand one. This is because pillion riders in India are often women and they ride sidesaddle because they wear saris. LOL! I'm told there's a left hand pannier on the way, which I'll buy. If I was doing longer distance over night riding I would remove the pillion seat and put a luggage rack in its place. The mounting points are already there, so it's an easy thing to do (I might even make one myself). This would be better than a luggage rack because it would put the weight further forward.
they're fun bikes, good price and easy to work on.
Thought I would make you feel a whole lot better about your gas prices. In New Zealand the price is currently 2.70 per litre, so if I bought a US gallon of gas it would cost me $10.23, if you convert it from NZ dollars to USD it is still a whopping $6.94 per gallon... Glad I bought a meteor 350 (I've been getting about 70 miles per gallon)
Looking forward to see what you do with your meteor!
Great video, glad your buying the bike. Same colour as mine too! Love it.
$4 a gallon? Is that all?
$3 a litre here for 95 RON
$2.75 a litre for 91.
And it's going up, the Ukraine situation has pushed crude north in a hurry.
Makes the RE economy really hit home. And you get the benefits of riding great bikes too.
Red rooster polestar pro exhaust with cat delete pipe.that’s my next mod.mounted a plexi fairing,removed reflectors,drilled out the baffle.maybe a tail tidy.wish i knew someone that could do the ecu flash.
congrats on making the Meteor yours 😎 10:24 on the MC....wonder what RE will come out with by the time I pay my Himi off.....I may still end up going after a Meteor....time will tell 😁
I believe that those faster comments are based on the fact that there is a lot of bikes around the 300 to 400 size which are capable of doing up to 100 mph and certainly 30 years ago 250cc bikes could easily hit the ton, so a brand new 350 which will only do 75mph is why people say that it should be capable of 80+
Gas prices coming down... One can only hope! 😅
Enjoying your vids thanks OMR. I own an Int650 in the UK, which is also a solid motorcycle. Not really sure the Meteor would work over here though due to the way the rider capacity rules are set up (new riders have to ride 14bhp until they pass their A2 test, but can then go up to 47bhp). Looking forward to your thoughts on the 650s.
Absolutely amazing video about the bike and about the tail rack i would suggest u to have a look at company called rynox gears they have an amazing magnetic tank bank which is as big as the bag u showed that u use….its really nice and very easy to use
About the Brazilian trick, its not really a trick actually, the dealerships called all meteor 350 owners for a ecu remap due the Brazilian unic pump gas we have over here (with 27% of ethanol mix)... So with this remap we gained 10km/h on the final speed and the motorcycle itself its a lil more awake over the low to mid rev range.
Another great video, thanks and keep them coming.
Big news here in the UK is a new Royal Enfield model to be released in the next few weeks...
You guys are months ahead of us!
Thinking of getting a meteor as a weekend runabout.
Re fuel economy, if I ride my NC750S like a scared child I can get 80 mpg out of it (though a UK gallon is maybe different to a US gallon? 4.5 litres anyway).
G'day Ronin, good think you have done this review of the 350cc, want my wife to view, last time riding with the pillion princess she indicated that she wanted to ride my 650 Interceptor as it's such a good looking bike, she rides a 250 Honda scooter and has never wanted to ride any of my British bikes, and l think the 350 would suit her, of course it would be her choice, and l could just buy another 650, Cheers mate, keep safe, Neil 🤠.
Wow your complaining about $4 a gallon??? Try living in Uk we haven’t seen prices like that for about 15-20 years. It’s now over £1.50 a litre which is $9 a gallon. Great great video. Must try a meteor at some point. Also want to try the new classic 350
I fitted some Bike Tek Diablo throwover panniers to my Meteor. Hitchcocks UK say you don't need pannier racks for these. There is a lot of strappage so I plan to leave them on permanently. The only problem is the straps across the rear saddle only tighten up tight and neat if they pass across the top of the grabrail, making it difficult to hold on to the rail when putting on main stand. I am getting a little chrome Royal Enfield grab handle which fits to the top of the rear forks. I don't think this will work that well and may end up bolting it to the existing grabrail.
Hey I'll check it out Thanks!!!
I wish we were paying $4 a gal here in Australia... its nearly $6 per gal here atm
It's over 9 dollars a gallon over the UK,
Super meteor 650 comming soon in India. 🇮🇳
I believe Americans would love TATA motors if TATA launch its vehicles in America and other countries. TATA building safest vehicles with 5 star safety rating in India.
Hi I had a gut feeling you would end up owning the meteor 👍fuel in the uk it’s around 7 1/2 £8 a gallon for super unleaded crazy Totally agree with the reckon panniers great video is always right safe Trevor
Thanks Trevor
Don't be sad. here in North Germany fuel is up to 2.24euro and up per liter.
Nice review 👍 I own it the meteor 350 oooooojaaa baby 👊🤟
Great work, what an interesting bike!
I saw the we little guy at five PM 😁
People are talking about meteor 650 being launched here in india by October not official yet
If you ever get the chance to compare the Meteor side-by-side with the Classic, do you think the Meteor fuel tank would fit on the Classic?
I like the classics front guard shape and the foot peg position, but then I prefer the Meteor fuel tank and handlebars.
It would be good if RE gave us the option to choose these items. It would be even better if they gave us the option of a longer and higher frame for those of us of a taller disposition.
The lack of kick start upsets me these days.
Smoking by at 10:24
I have Meteor too, the stailler blue
airmoto sounds great
You really conforts my thoughs about the Meteor, and your plans are what I had in mind saddle bags rear rack are a minimum for a cruising bike. By the way have you checked the link I send you about the Bluroc V Bob 250, it looks really nice and I learned that the engine is a Yamaha v twin, I will try to have a test ride,and also the Meteor just to compare them. And I will not enter the giveaway this time as I have one Airmoto already (great stuff indeed) and thus I will give the others a chance to win it.
$4 a gallon? Wow. I feel so sorry for you. I wonder what you would think if you had to pay £10 a gallon like we do in the UK. I think £10 is roughly $15 a gallon. Ok, rant over lol! I like this review, I currently have a Suzuki 250 Inazuma. Its a great bike, Its fantastic on fuel, it takes me to work every day and it takes me and the wife out on the weekends. I just wonder if this bike being 100cc more, if it would actually be better then my Inazuma.
test ride one and find out, thats the only way to know
Commenting down below...
Boy you Americans are lucky, in the UK the price of one gallon is around £6:76 or more! I've always thought you guys have been spoilt on oil price compared to UK certainly and Europe in general 🤷🏻♂️
Has anyone ridden the Meteor on unsealed roads, like forestry roads? If so, comments on handling and whether stock tyres are sufficient.
I did a video on Meteor Motocamping. Check it out
@@OlManRonin hi. Thanks for that.
Hi
How's the performance after the running in period of 600 miles /2000 kms? Because the one I test drove had better acceleration than my new one.. for me the motorcycle is getting smoother and swifter
That's a question I can't answer. My Meteor 350 was a Royal Enfield North America's Press Bike. so it already had miles on it
Any aftermarket backrest/rack available ? I think this is missing too on this ride !!
Watch my other videos tahdah
In the mid 90’s Royal Enfield released a Diesel motorcycle which gave a fuel economy of 165 miles per gallon it was known as ‘Taurus’
Ik it’s a bit personal question but did you serve in the military?
It's nearly $10 per gallon in UK 😞
it sucks everywhere these days
Yesterday the Meteor had its first service and when I left the shop and got on the freeway, it seemed different, it just seemed to purr at 65 and still had more power. I'm still trying to figure out how to move the controls forward about 6 inches; I wonder if It's possible to adapt the forward controls of the Triumph Bobber to the meteor and lower the seat.
If your good with a wrench and a welder should be easy peasy! Cheers
@@OlManRonin Cheers
$12 a gallon in uk my friend.miserable taxes piled on top makes this treasure island/.
Would you recommend it as a beginning bike for someone getting into riding?
I think its a fantastic bike to learn to really ride. That means, on the road, the gravel roads and also off road. Just realize you will drop it so be prepared.
Just got mine a few weeks ago and running out of patience with the run-in period! did yours struggle at 50 mph? hard to believe the engine will ease up to add another 20 miles on top
nope zero issues
I'm not a good reader.... I missed the running in rules only noticed them after I did 7,500km (4660 miles) luckily our maximum speed limit in NZ is 100kph (60mph)
@@OlManRonin what oil do you use for the meteor?
How critical is a windshield ?
lol imho not at all
Hi, my name is Chris, I bought a Meteor 350 about 7 months ago, I have just had the 5000km service, maybe you can help me, the engine on my bike is quiet when it is cold, but after 5 minutes of running it gets very noisy, there is slight knocking and a very audible rumble from the left side of the engine, I have complained to Royal Enfield, but they assure me it's normal and not to worry as the bike has a 3 year warranty, could you confirm if your bike is similar to this, thank you, kind regards
I simply can't nor won't diagnose issues without being on the bike. I hope you appreciate this. Internet experts always offer their opinions, but in reality, you simply must ride the bike and do a full "hands-on" diagnosis to check out issues or possible problems. If the factory rep or dealer has checked it out and say no issue, then feel secure in what they say, for it's their butts now if something is wrong! I hope this reassures you a bit. I have had ZERO issues with either the Himalayan or The Meteor 350 and have thousands of miles on both! Cheers Chris all will be well!
How'd it go
Hi, what do you think, Is the meteor better than the himalayan ?
each has their own specific niche. It's like asking which wrench is better a 10mm or a 20 mm.
Honda maybe bringing the CB350 to the states.
and ??
and ??
ok???
@@OlManRonin And the Honda Rebel 500 has a similar fuel consumption to the Meteor 350 if not lower, depending on the rider's way of riding and it's way more powerful for its fuel consumption.
What's the point of having a 350cc motorcycle that it has just a bit more power than a 125cc?? Confort, maybe?
I'
?
