After initially being unimpressed, the author finds themselves pleasantly surprised by the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. The article highlights its stunning hand-painted pinstripes, impressive build quality, and surprisingly capable handling.
I agree. When Royal Enfield unveiled the Super Meteor 650 a while back, I wasn’t really that much enamored by it. But after finally seeing it up close, I can strongly agree that this is a thing of beauty.
Certain bits and pieces are big, too. The seat, the 19-inch wheel up front, the rear fender, and even the exhaust pipes, which we’ll talk more about later. And mind you, this doesn’t just look big—it’s actually heavy, too. Curb weight is listed at 241kg, which puts it easily into liter-bike territory.
I was honestly skeptical at first, because this is a cruiser with forward footpegs, but it really impressed once I got to ride it. And on the highway, it’s a dream. On long, open straights, it’s quite comfortable. As a point of comparison, I find it much more comfortable than a Honda Rebel 500.If you’re into these types of bikes, I’ll be the one to tell you that the Super Meteor 650 has all the power you’ll ever need. That 648cc air-oil-cooled parallel-twin makes good use of all 46.
For the more tech-savvy ones, the bike also gets smartphone connectivity through its instrument cluster which, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to tinker around with. These gauges also provide all the basic information including what I think is essential in classic bikes: a fuel gauge.The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 starts at P439,000, but you’ll have to pay an additional P10,000 for this beautiful Interstellar Green colorway.
