Meteor

- Unveil at 2021 EICMA

- India launch early next year

Royal Enfield is soon going to unveil its highly anticipated 650cc cruiser. This bike is likely to be called the Super Meteor and will be unveiled to the world at the 2021 EICMA Show in Italy.

The Super Meteor brand isn’t new for the company. This brand was used for the American market in the early 50s. The Super Meteor when launched will become the most expensive Royal Enfield in India. This bike will be positioned as a premium cruiser for India as well as for the rest of the world, but will be priced competitively.

In terms of styling, the bike will feature a rear-swept handlebar and forward-set footpegs that will deliver relaxed ergonomics. The motorcycle will feature a round headlight with a chrome bezel, a tear-drop fuel tank, split-style seats, twin-sided exhaust canisters, and a round taillight. Similar to the current 650cc motorcycles, the upcoming cruiser will feature twin-sided exhaust pipes.

The Super Meteor will use the same 648cc, air and oil-cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces 47bhp of power and 52Nm of peak torque. This motor would be linked to a six-speed gearbox. Thanks to some spy pictures we know that the suspension setup will include upside-down front forks and twin-sided rear springs. The braking duties will be handled by disc brakes on both wheels. The cruiser motorcycle, as seen in the spy pictures, will have alloy wheels that will come wrapped in tubeless tyres.

The motorcycle should come equipped with the Royal Enfield tripper navigation system. The hardware, which is already available on the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the Himalayan, connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and delivers turn-by-turn navigation. Electronic rider aids would most likely remain minimal, and the safety net should include a dual-channel ABS.

The Royal Enfield Super Meteor is likely to be launched in India early 2022 and just like its other bikes, this motorcycle too will be available with multiple accessories and MIY program.

Maybe favorite.

Sen Sok Aeon.

They do look nice but really bloody heavy.

And, here's another old British bike name, Norton.

$4000 is a good price. They've reduced the last of the 500 classics to $5000 to help move them out the door and from what I've read elsewhere, most countries already have nill stock of 500's. Cambodia seems to have some of the last available. By the specs the 350's have less power and torque but the same weight. Although they have a balance shaft so you should be able to rev them harder without the vibration. What you win on one hand!

195! Is that wet, I’d hope so.
My old 98 Kawasaki 900 was 200kg but it had 140bhp, high even today.

Low centre of gravity I’d imagine.
