Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Meteor 350 - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want a good 350cc retro-style bike that should also be comfortable for long hours of riding. Which bike should I choose and why? I am currently considering the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the Honda CB350RS. Please suggest if there are any other options as well.
I currently ride a well-maintained 2017 Avenger Street 220 Matte Black, chosen mainly for its low saddle height since I’m 5'2". I now want to upgrade but am unsure which bike will suit my height. I need something reliable, long-lasting, and suitable for daily use.
If you want to stick to the cruiser format, we would recommend the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (seat height: 765mm) and the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 (seat height: 750mm).
Do bear in mind that these bikes - while fairly low - weigh close to 200kg, so you will need some time to adjust to their weights. If you're open to another form factor - more specifically, a sporty-looking street naked - we would steer you toward the Honda CB300F.
That's because with its light 153kg weight and approachable 789mm seat height, it will be a very manageable bike.
Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before making the final decision.
I’m nearing 50 and want to start riding two-wheelers again. I’ve heard about back pain issues with the Meteor 350, especially for city riding. Is that true? Alternatively, I’m considering the Hunter 350. What would you advise based on my age and city use?
With their feet forward and fists-in-the-wind riding position, cruisers tend to put a lot of weight on your back and over less-than-ideal roads, which can transmit a lot of the bumps through to the rider. If you stay in an area with less-than-perfect roads, we would recommend you look elsewhere.
The Hunter, with its upright, neutral ergonomics and pliant suspension, will be able to handle bad roads much better.
A test ride will help you decide whether the Meteor or the Hunter is the best bet for you. Other options you can also look at are the TVS Ronin and the Honda CB350 models.
I own a Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twin Spark (2011) — it’s been very comfortable for my mostly city riding (under 200 km/week), but it’s now nearing the end of its life. Should I modify and re-register this bike for more comfort, or buy a newer model that offers medium seating height, strong road presence, and excellent comfort for daily urban commutes and occasional longer rides? Please suggest models under ₹2 lakh.
We'd suggest that you look at a newer bike, primarily due to ethanol-blended fuels that are likely to cause problems with older motorcycles, even if they have been refurbished. We suggest you look within the Royal Enfield family itself at options like the Meteor 350, Classic 350, or Bullet 350 to meet the requirements that you have highlighted
I want a new bike for daily commuting as well as long tours (4-5 inter-city or interstate trips per year). I’m confused between the Meteor 350, Himalayan 450, and the Royal Enfield Scrambler XC. Which one should I pick?
Of the options you've shortlisted, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be the best all-rounder with good highway manners, plush suspension for rough roads, and it's usable inside the city too, although its weight and general size need to be kept in mind.
The Meteor 350 and Triumph Scrambler 400 XC will be better in the city than the Himalayan, but out on the highway, your comfortable cruising speeds will be capped at 80-100kph. Take a thorough test ride before you decide.
I'm looking for a classic retro motorcycle in the ₹2.0–2.5 lakh range that suits a 5'3" rider of average build. It will be used mainly for city riding and occasional highway trips (under 100 km/week). Any suggestions?
Considering your budget, height and build, the retro motorcycles we would recommend are the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Hunter 350. Both have low seat heights, and the lighter Hunter is also more manageable inside the city. If you like the way it looks, you may also consider the Goan Classic 350 because it has a low seat, which will be helpful for your stature.
The Honda CB350 trio are also a good city-focused neo-retro model but they have a seat height of 800mm or more, so we'd suggest taking a test ride to see which one fits you best.
I am 6 ft 3 in rider and want to purchase a bike that I’ll mainly use for an office commute of 35 km. I’m looking at a bike in the 300-350 cc range. Could you suggest suitable models?
Options that you could use to commute include the Honda H'ness CB350, Royal Enfield Classic 350, and Royal Enfield Meteor 350. The CB350 makes for a good city bike with its light clutch action and smooth, torquey motor. The Classic 350 has a laid-back and friendly nature, while the Meteor 350 offers the same performance but with the most comfortable riding position. We suggest you take a test ride of all these motorcycles before making a purchase.
I’m unable to decide between the Honda CB350, Royal Enfield Meteor, and Triumph T4. My daily usage is about 50 km, and I occasionally cruise for 100 km or more. Which one should I choose?
Between the three, we would recommend the Triumph Speed T4 as it is an accomplished city bike that can also handle highway cruising at 100-110kph. The Honda CB350 and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 are also heavier, slower bikes that won't be able to match the Triumph's handling on a twisty road.
I am 5′0″ and need a bike for daily commuting and occasional long trips. Which motorcycle would suit me best for these needs?
Considering your height, you can opt for the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 or the Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
Both bikes have low seat heights and should accommodate you well. The Hunter is slightly taller than the Meteor but is more nimble and compact to ride in the city. Test ride both bikes to see what you like better.
