Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better between Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Yezdi Roadster? Tell the pros and cons of both.
  • Yezdi roadster
  • Selecting between Yezdi Roadster and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is a good option for those looking for a comfortable city slicker and fancy occasional long-distance trips. At standstill, the Meteor actually feels much lighter than you’d imagine, and when you get going it feels unexpectedly responsive. The sharper rake and the way the new motorcycle carries its weight will put even less experienced riders at ease on this RE. Once you adapt to the quickness and lightness of the steering and the stretched-out seating position, you will find yourself slicing through traffic without breaking a sweat. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. On the other hand, Yezdi Roadster is lean and muscular-looking, just like the Harley-Davidson Roadster. It comes equipped with all-LED lights, a headlight protector, bar-end mirrors, and a small windscreen. The Yezdi Roadster gets a teardrop-shaped 12.5-litre fuel tank with tank pads on both sides, a split-type seat, and cushioned backrest. The motorcycle is suspended on a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. For braking, it uses a 320/240mm disc setup assisted by dual-channel ABS with 'Road', 'Off-road', and 'Rain' modes. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for the dealership dearership details.
Q. Being a beginner which bike will be best for me, Jawa42, RE-Meteor or Honda H-ness??!!
  • Selecting between the Honda Hness CB350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Jawa 42 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. Jawa is the only bike here using a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under-the-square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. Whereas if we talk about Royal Enfield Meteor 350, it is a good option for those looking for a comfortable city slicker and fancy occasional long-distance trips. At standstill, the Meteor actually feels much lighter than you’d imagine, and when you get going it feels unexpectedly responsive. The sharper rake and the way the new motorcycle carries its weight will put even less experienced riders at ease on this RE. Once you adapt to the quickness and lightness of the steering and the stretched-out seating position, you will find yourself slicing through traffic without breaking a sweat. On the other hand, if you are looking for a comfortable, easy-to-handle bike with marries old-school charm and modern sensibilities well, you may go for Honda Hness CB350. It gets a prominent thumper exhaust note and it is the most affordable bike in India to get traction control. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. I am planning to buy Meteor 350. Shall wait for Classic 350 or Hunter 350?
  • As Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and 2021 Royal Enfield Classic 350 hasn't launched. You may go for Royal Enfield Meteor 350 which is available now. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is a good option. Meteor 350 is powered by an all-new 349cc air-cooled SOHC 2-valve motor with fuel injection. The powerplant generates 20.4PS at 6100rpm and 27Nm at 4000rpm, working in conjunction with a 5-speed transmission. The engine is counterbalanced for optimum refinement. In terms of engine refinement, build quality, and modern features, the Meteor 350 has the edge. Meteor 350 is very comfortable, both in terms of rider ergonomics and suspension tune. The RE Meteor 350 offers a comfortable position and an upright stance for easy long-distance touring.
