Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 vs Royal Enfield Meteor 350

Question 1

Q. Want to choose between Interceptor and Supernova?

Answer

Selecting between the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, features required, ride quality, performance preference, etc. Both bikes belong to different segments and have different characteristics. If we talk about Meteor, the thump wrapped up in a refined, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. The lack of oil leaks or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. The healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections make it more endearing. So, this Royal Enfield fulfills the promise made by the Thunderbird many years ago. 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, if we talk about Interceptor 650, with this pricing, Royal Enfield has delivered an exceptional value-for-money product like none other. Small issues, like no clear lens for the headlight or wide exhaust layout, or the narrow and soft seat, can be overlooked or fine-tuned. This is virtually half the price of the Harley Street 750 and it sits precariously close to the KTM 390 Duke, the Austrian being just four grand cheaper. Hence, with this pricing strategy, Royal Enfield is giving you a class product that seems to be built more solidly than anything it has ever produced. It is not as premium or modern in many aspects, but this motorcycle has brought back the joys of simple motorcycling - just what Royal Enfield set out to achieve.

Answer

Apart from the budget, both bikes belong to different segments and have different characteristics. If we talk about Meteor, the thump wrapped up in a refined, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. The lack of oil leaks or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. The healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections make it more endearing.

Question 4

Q. Which one is better between Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Yezdi Roadster? Tell the pros and cons of both.

Answer

Can you please mention about Roadster ride quality ?

Answer

Yezdi roadster

Answer

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.
