                        Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.

                        Style meets speed
                        It does provides stylish look along with the two silencers and after removing the db killers the sound is just so bassy and thumping which one can feel as majority of the customers remove it and it doesnt impact the engine as per the company and secondary it provides amazing suspension along with smooth gear change in highway or cities along with low vibration and highend speed of massive 145kmph which is more than its competitors offering 300 or 350CC and it feel unique when you take it out and majority of peoples ask about its features and other things about it and praise it I personally felt the look and performance which this bike gives is unmatched as it is quick and easy to handle both two in one I have been riding this bike since a long time now for more than approx 3 years and I definitely feel that the performance or the power it provides is unmatched as I have been taking it to Himachal Sunday Rides and even to places like manali atal tunnel chandartaal lake and kaza with my riding group and they tell me its amazing as they rode it too providing comfort and safety and talking about the city rides sometimes it becomes a little hectic to carry around as the engine gets heated too much in summers not much in winters but summers time is not easy to carry this bike around in cities I would definitely recommend this bike to a specific group of people who are looking or interested more in performance over the mileage as both things cant be combined in a single bike where best performance and best mileage is provided It provides decent mileage in cities of around 23 to 26kmpl and around 30 to 35kmpl in highways or mountains depending upon the riding style and slopes In cities sometimes it becomes difficult to carry around because of the heating issue but it is not unbearable so it can be managed accordingly if ones looking forward to it the last thing is serviceability of workshops which are very far away from remote areas as even in tricity there is only one workshop which is mohali so as I am living in zirakpur i have to go there once in 6 months which feels a bit far away and lastly i want to share that I met with an accident where dogs came in front of my bike and to save them I had to apply both brakes and my speed was around 50-60kmph and the bike slipped with disbalance and skid to around 200 meters with me being on the bike but the best thing was that the leg guard save my leg and there was just minor injuries with no fracture which I am thankful of

                        Comfortable bike
                        My friend suggested that it would be better and yes its better plus best for long and slow riding so much comfortable. People need to go classy over flashy. If you want slow ride and comfort better it is good. Comfort is awesome when you are riding all eyes on you but it's down clearance a bit off but it's ok, design is awesome and not feeling any bumps. I ride 1284km till now and it's awesome and great. Go for it Yes of course, I recommend this bike to buy but if you dont feel slow ride maybe this bike is not for you. Its very Heavy to handle in speed the fear of accident can take places so ride safe and slow.

                        My Meteor 350 experience
                        I wanted a city commuter and a bike that I can use to travel long distances and visit other cities. Used the bike to travel whole south India and it was very easy and very comfortable. I installed touring seat and touring mirrors for additional comfort. Engine gets heated in traffic like most of the other bikes but on highways this is a gem. You can comfortably cruise between 90-100kmph and clock many kms in a single day. My bikes is now 32k kms old and has not given me any major problems. This bike is for someone who wants a royal Enfield with zero vibrations. Someone who wants to travel long distances and someone who likes a short quick acceleration in traffic. I personally can vouch for the bikes performance. 350cc bike with 30 average in city is gold.

                        Meteor 350 where cruising meets comfort
                        Because of it's style and that massive thumping sound, it is awesome to ride on highways and I also happy when I ride, its a bike for this generation who want a massive look, stylish design. Cruiser comfort for smooth ride with the that thump 20 bhp. powerful 349 cc engine and also historical brand Royal Enfield. Kids can not handling this bike like other bike's so a gentleman men can choose meteor 350, starting the bikes mileage is approximately 31 to 32 kmph but after it's first service it's increased by 33 to 34.5 kmph and it has pending of 3 more service. My ride with meteor 350 never ending till my death. This bike can buy who leading their life with joy and who want to explore cities in India, it's also a comfortable to ride with parents, this is not for kid's praises other bike's like,I don't want to mention but plastic bike owned kids, it was a smooth ride with safe handle

                        Best cruiser of this era
                        I chose this bike because of its comfort, riding position and style. This bike when I ride gives me more confidence and excitement, my mom and dad loved this bike sitting as a pillon is another good feature of this so comfy. The ride is very comfortable and the riding position is even more elegant and you would not feel tired riding it. I have been to Ooty in this bike and i will never forget the ride it was beautiful it is a wonderful bike. I love it I would recommend this bike to anyone ,in fact I am a critic but this bike is not criticised, you can ride with mom and dad very comfortably and with friends too. The back support is just perfectly placed to the pillion, if you want a bike to enjoy with friends and family you should buy this bike.

                        Highway ride me maza aata hai or city me ye kamal kar deti hai lekin ek problem hai, 20 ki speed me chalane me problem karti hai, wo smoothness fill nahi hoti. Lekine power acchi hai or ye India ki har kone me ja sakti hai kahi bhi le jaoo ye jaye gi, mana nahin karegi, jahan bologe vahan jayegi. Or mileage ek dm kam hai average 23 ka mujko de rahi hai. Parts kafi costly hai aur sensors problem to nhi hui lakin meri bike me ek indicator ki relay kharab ho gai thi uske liye rs 15000 ki wiring ke liye bol rahe the. Me happy hu isko leke. Service or part available ho or average acha kare bike me, smoothness ki Kami hai bhai main power acchi hai. After market iske part available ho kyun ki part milane mein kafi dikkat ho rahi hai iske... Baki koi Kami nahin hai power bharpur hai maja aaega le lo.

                        Stylish with powerful engine but expensive s parts
                        I wanted a Stylish and powerful motorcycle with liquid cool , six speed gears so Roadster was there, I have ridden this bike almost 9000 km but never felt strain or fatigue. Compare to other bikes with same segment. This bike offers little more features like dual exhaust, slipper clutch, dual channel abs. Roadster is very comfortable for rider and powerful engine with high torque, i have enjoyed the bike so far. Front brake performance is very good compare to rear , only rear brake is not enough to stop at sudden moment , so we have to use both brakes at the same time . Even if you ride this bike in city you will never feel any wrist pain or fatigue. I would recommend this bike for office goers only not for students because high maintenance and low mileage offers as well as spare parts of this bike is so expensive and shortage. Overall the bike is amazing.

                        I just love the looks of this bike this bike looks insane the riding comfort is just in another level this bike is unbeatable in this price segment, I have the Shark blue colour of this roadster the bike is very special for me. The ride was very nice i just enjoy riding my roadster the mostly drive in city from home to office, I go on long like from gurgaon to uttarakhand the rider seat is very comfortable but the pillow may face issue on long ride the cousioning of the seat is good. I will surely recommend this bike to every young enthusiast ride who is looking for long ride because the riding comfort is just next level, the bike is good for long ride the gear shifting is just like butter, the clutch and abs brakes are very good there are lots of features in this segment thanks to java, yezdi for make this aggressive looking bike for us.
