रॉयल एनफ़ील्ड मिटियर 350 की क़ीमत हूघली में

1. Buying experience: after taking a couple of test rides on the meteor supernova (brown) at the showroom of universal traders, chinsurah (west bengal), I decided to buy the same variant there having the same colouration. It was only when my mother stepped in and literally forced me to buy the custom silver variant (even if it costs a few thousand bucks extra). Who can not listen to their mothers, right? so there I was - decided to buy the custom-made silver option of meteor supernova.
The purchase experience was amazing at the chinsurah showroom - the sellers knew their job and they really helped me make my purchase decision easier - every small accessory added to the bike was consulted with me and they helped me purchase those. Customer service-wise, they are excellent.
2. Riding experience & performance: coming from a 125 cc bike, this bike feels like heaven. Although, with all the accessories and gadgets added, it weighs well upwards of 210 kgs. So, moving the bike while not on it could be challenging. Nonetheless, it's not unmanageable. When you ride on it in the countryside, you do grab eyeballs.
Performance-wise, it's mildly bumpy on the potholes at higher revs but those bumps are nothing in comparison with other low-end sports bikes (such as kawasaki ninja 400 or Yamaha r15 v4 etc). To describe it the best: it's a "sofa on wheels".
3. Looks: I believe listening to my mother and buying the supernova silver custom is the best decision I took. It surely is an uncommon colour out in the streets and definitely a head-turner. And who doesn't like a low-seated bike with its windshields on?
4. Servicing and maintenance: although I have not yet serviced the bike and it's my first royal enfield, one can definitely attest to the fact that being in India, you won't get a better servicing option than what a royal enfield can offer. As they say - anyone with a screwdriver and a wrench can disassemble and reassemble a bike, I believe that it's totally true.
5a. Pros:
- looks, definitely a head turner
- purchase experience
- cruising at low and high-speed capabilities
- perfect city ride companion
- smooth ride
- service availabilities all over the country
- horn
- abs and hazard lights
- reliability
- road presence
5b. Cons:
- could have been better if the instrument console was a bit modern with features like mileage, range, rpm, etc.
- misses out on tripper navigation in the latest meteors since June 2022.
- headlights could have been more powerful for better visibility in low-lit areas.
- stock tyre profile for both the front as well as the rear could be wider.

समीक्षक के बारे में

I made up my mind to purchase the bike around October 2021 and booked it after customizing it through the make it Your app of royal enfield. At that time the waiting period was around 4 months got my silver supernova meteor 350 at the end of January 2022.
1. Buying experience:
The lengthy waiting period was irritating but the custom-built bike with the name batch on it was worth waiting for.
2. Riding experience:
My office is around 35 km from my home thus I need to commute around 70 km daily. Occasionally I go for long solo rides. In my commute, I need to travel through the city as well as the highway, and in both places, it exceeds my expectation. I have touring seats that give excellent support for long rides and even after driving for more than 300 km in one go, do not feel any exhaustion. Though in dense traffic, maneuvering this bike is a little tricky. The footpegs are in a slightly stretched position giving excellent sitting stature for long rides.
3. Looks and performance:
It is a perfect blend of retro and modern looks. The bike glides smoothly at 90-100 kmph without any vibration. The acceleration is really good but the breaking could have been better.
4. Servicing and maintenance:
The service expenditure is a bit on the higher side. I get a fuel efficiency of around 34-36 kmpl during my daily commute and on long rides, I get more than 42 kmpl. The smoothness of the transmission is unparallel and after around 10,000 km, the bike speaks another language of smoothness.
5. Pros and cons
All the pros I have already mentioned above. The only con I feel is with the breaks. With the kind of momentum it generates, better breaking is expected to avoid any sudden accident.
