Royal Enfield Meteor 350 price in North 24 Parganas

The royal enfield meteor 350 is an excellent motorcycle.
the buying experience was good. I had to book the motorcycle beforehand and got the delivery after 3 months. Most of the royal enfield motorcycles have waiting periods.
The riding experience is a true joy in itself. The motorcycle is exceptionally comfortable. It has got well-padded seats. The switch gear and other build quality also look premium and classy. There is enough room for the rider and the pillion. The handlebars are wide and the footpegs are front set making it a typical cruiser-like stance for the rider.
Coming to the engine; the engine is very refined, unlike previous old-generation royal enfield models. This new j series engine is very smooth. There are no vibrations at all under controlled rpms . Only when you cross 6000 rpm may you feel a little buzziness on the footpegs.
Moreover, the meteor 350 has got wide front and rear tyres and thus inspires confidence and is a great handler.
The front and rear suspensions are also well-tuned and can absorb potholes quite easily under control speeds.
The engine has very good low and mid-range torque and thus pulls effortlessly. You can cruise on this vehicle easily at 90-100 km per hour the whole day without any problem.
I have got the stellar edition and I must say that the bike looks big and attracts eyeballs on the streets.
This new engine also has the thumb of a typical royal enfield but you may opt for an after-market exhaust to enhance the sound of your motorcycle.
I got an average of 30 km per litre.
Servicing and maintenance were not an issue for me. The service center did its job quite well without any hassle.
To sum it up the main pros of this motorcycle are:
1. Good looks
2. Comfortable riding triangle
3. Great low and mid-range torque.
4. Smooth engine
Cons of this motorcycle are
1. The supernova model is quite pricey.
2. You cannot opt for the tripper navigation as an accessory currently because the tripper navigation meter is out of stock in the royal enfield showrooms due to chip shortage.
3. You have to wait for a couple of months for the bike to arrive.
So, in a conclusion, I would highly recommend this motorcycle and it was a good experience for me.

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.
