Conclusion - what sticks
The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 is a real fun grenade. Even motorcyclists who are not really into cruisers (such as the author) will be pleasantly surprised at how relaxed you can cruise around with this motorcycle. It doesn't get much more relaxed than this.We still find the price of the Super Meteor to be reasonable, even though Royal Enfield actually stands for even cheaper motorcycles. The competitors from Honda and Benelli are even more attractive in terms of price, but in our opinion the Royal Enfield has more to offer - above all charm, appearance and driving pleasure!
