User Review of Super Meteor 650 by Ishan Sharma

Dollops of torque, even down low on the rev range, and a crystal clear thump that hits the spot every single time. Very very very very nice bike so it looks nice and very very comfortable

About the Reviewer

I use this beast for my daily office commute of around 50 km. Excellent handling even at very low speeds in heavy traffic. Normally I get 28kmpl in city traffic and 35+ on highways with an average speed of 80 kmph. My original brake pads and chain sprocket are still working fine even after 10K kms. I am not a biker in the true sense but I felt no issues in going 800kms in a single day 2-3 times.

About the Reviewer

launch has been an electrifying adventure, full of twists and turns, just like the roads I've conquered. Here's my insider take, covering everything from the thrill of buying to the grit of servicing, as a fellow Super Meteor rider in this beautiful chaos we call India.
1. Buying Experience:
The showroom felt like a cathedral, the Meteor gleaming like a chrome altar on display. The purchase process was a smooth ride, although the waitlist did test my patience a tad. But finally, there I was, keys in hand, ready to christen the open road.
2. Riding Experience:
Ah, the ride! First thing that hits you is the comfort. The low seat and stretched-out posture embrace you like a leather armchair. Twisting the throttle unleashes a surge of smooth power, not a fire-breathing beast, but a steady companion. Handling is surprisingly nimble, carving through cityscapes with ease. On highways, the Meteor cruises like a majestic ship, wind whispering tales in your helmet.
3. Looks & Performance:
Let's face it, the Meteor turns heads. The classic silhouette, sculpted tank, and chrome accents are pure cruiser eye candy. Performance matches the aesthetics – it's not a speed demon, but the 650cc engine packs enough punch for confident overtaking and spirited sprints. The exhaust purrs a low growl, a constant reminder of the beast beneath.
4. Servicing & Maintenance:
Here's where things get a little bumpy. Finding experienced mechanics for this new steed can be tricky. The first service was smooth, but subsequent ones felt like navigating a maze of checklists and explanations. Parts availability can be an occasional hiccup, especially for non-essential accessories. However, Royal Enfield's service network is steadily expanding, so hopefully, things will smoothen out.
5. Pros & Cons:
Pros:
Comfort: Feels like your living room on wheels, perfect for long hauls.
Handling: Surprisingly agile for its size, nimble in traffic and stable on highways.
Looks: Classic cruiser charm, turns heads everywhere you go.
Performance: Smooth, reliable engine with enough power for everyday riding.
Community: A growing tribe of Meteor riders across India, camaraderie on the road.
Cons:
Heat Management: The engine can get quite toasty in Indian summers, especially in stop-and-go traffic.
Ground Clearance: Be cautious of large speed bumps and potholes.
Servicing: Learning curve for finding skilled mechanics and dealing with occasional parts availability issues.
Power: Not a speed demon, might not thrill adrenaline junkies.
Verdict:
The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 is a cruiser with a soul. It's not perfect, but its flaws are overshadowed by its charm, comfort, and the sheer joy of cruising Indian roads. If you're looking for a timeless companion to explore the vast tapestry of landscapes our country offers, the Meteor won't disappoint. Just be prepared for the occasional heat wave and service quirks.
Overall, I wouldn't trade my Super Meteor for anything. It's more than just a bike; it's a passport to adventure, a testament to the unyielding spirit of the open road, and a rumbling reminder that life is best lived on two wheels.
So, fellow riders hit the streets, let the wind brush your face, and experience the magic of the Super Meteor. Just remember, it's not the destination, but the journey that matters, and with this cruiser by your side, every mile is an adventure waiting to be written.
Ride safe, ride free!

About the Reviewer

My buying experience was very good. Their employee was very cool and they knew how to welcome their customers. I had to pay nothing for the booking and my booking period was only 5 days. I also got a test drive. The bike runs so smoothly with the 650cc engines. The looks are just awesome and the Royal Enfield pays full attention to every detail. Pros are:- fully LED light with high and low beam, adjustable brake lever, good distance b/w both foot pedals and my best pro is this bike is also suitable for short persons. There are not many cons but according to me, heating and vibrations are two of the cons which is not a great bother to me.
