The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is far from a perfect bike even in its BS6 avatar. Which one is better between Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Meteor Stellar? Is Honda Highness CB350 better? The best only best honest review you will ever need to read before considering buying a meteor 350 !!! riding position & comfort: i am 6ft guy and my back aches after a 50-60 km ride on the bike.Its supposed to be a relaxed riding position or so you will definitely feel the first time you test ride it.Discomfort in the bike, In my opinion is because of the footpegs that are set so forward which donot complement the riding stance and position of handlebars.Seat comfort is just rough and hard.Suspensions are horrible just horrible specially the back one is too hard.Even the smallest of potholes will send earthquake through your entire body sometimes to a point where you at times feel jolts in your back.Pillion space and comfort is horrible for a cruiser.Pillion will complain you for sore butts and back pain.Mechanicals: refined engine specially for re standards.Allthough the oem engine oil used by re, Liquid gun is very poor quality semi-synthetic oil.Suggest to switch to motul or castrol after free services are over.Gear box is improved in comparison to the previous gear boxes.Gear shifts are smooth but are at times cluncky probably because of the poor liquid gun engine oil.Switching to motul gear shifts and heating improved.Heating is not that much considering the fact that i used to ride a ktm previously although you feel some heat in your thighs in traffic.It's manageable not an issue that will bother you.Headlight throw on the highway is below average.Switchgear is c**p but you get used to it.Mirrors man mirrors !no matter how many times you tighten them they will get loose and swing suddenly while riding.But since vibrations are contained very very much they don't vibrate on normal speeds below 70kmph.They offer very good view of what's behind too but oh lord you need to maintain them in their place by tighting the bolts periodically and you should be fine.Tyres: they offer ceat and mrf.If your one came with ceat, And better be carefull, They are one of the most c**p tires i have ever riden.Mrf ones that come are ok but better than ceat.Paint & overall finish quality: paint quality is good on supernova series.No issues there.Overall finish is very good and improved but there is still some space for improvement.Performance & efficiency: you will notice a great change in performance when you compare the old uce engines.It revs more, Less downshifts needed and clutch is relatively light too.Exhaust sounds good with crackles often.In city you can do as low as 15kmph in 4th gear.The engine is immune to knocking at low speeds in high gear, Trust me it's damn immune.City efficiency 25-28 with high traffic.Highway 30-38 and thats damn accurate.
