Royal Enfield Meteor 350
The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has a top speed of ~130 km/h, produces 20.2 hp and weighs 191 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Der Royal Enfield Meteor 350 wurde im November 2020 vorgestellt. Er ersetzte die veraltete Thunderbird-Serie und war mit einer brandneuen Einzylinder-Motorplattform der J-Serie einen bedeutenden Fortschritt für die Marke. Es war das erste Motorrad, auf dem die neue Generation der 350-cm3-Motorarchitektur von Royal Enfield vorgestellt wurde, die später mehrere nachfolgende Modelle, darunter die Classic 350 und die Hunter 350, untermauerte. Der Meteor zeichnet sich durch seine entspannte Cruiser-Ergonomie, moderne Elektronik und das Tripper-Navigationssystem aus und ist damit eines der funktionsreichsten Modelle in seinem Segment.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The Meteor 350 uses Royal Enfield's J-series engine, widely praised for its smooth, low-vibration performance and long-term durability. Owners commonly report 30,000+ km with minimal mechanical issues when serviced regularly.
Watch for Electrical Gremlins
Some early Meteor 350 units reported minor electrical issues including loose connectors and inconsistent instrument cluster behavior. Inspect all electrics carefully on used models, especially those from the 2021-2022 production run.
Strong Resale Value
The Meteor 350 holds its value exceptionally well in the mid-size cruiser segment, often retaining 75-85% of its value after two years. Its brand popularity and broad service network across India and globally keep demand consistently high.

"Ehrliches britisches Eisen, das Respekt und Geduld erfordert."
Der Meteor 350 zieht mit einem faulen, gemächlichen Grunzen, das in dem Moment Sinn macht, in dem man aufhört, ihn zu bekämpfen und in seinem Tempo zu fahren — irgendwo zwischen 70 und 90 km/h klingt dieser Motor am glücklichsten, das gusseiserne Barrel wird richtig warm und die OHV-Single findet ihren Rhythmus. Das separate Getriebe schaltet mit einem absichtlichen Klirren, das du entweder lieben oder verachten lernst; Neutral ist eine Lotterie im Stillstand und du verpasst sie täglich, bis das Muskelgedächtnis nach ein paar hundert Meilen einsetzt. Alle zwei Wochen sickert Öl von einem neuen Ort — vom Hauptkettengehäuse, den Stößelrohren, dem Kipphebelgehäuse — und ein abgenutzter Werkzeugsatz versteckt sich permanent unter dem Sitz, wenn Sie etwas Verstand haben. Aber hier gibt es eine mechanische Ehrlichkeit, die moderne Motorräder völlig aufgegeben haben: Du kannst jedes Ventil hören, jeden Kolbenhub spüren und tatsächlich verstehen, was der Motor unter dir macht.

"The best Royal Enfield ever built, warts and all."
$3,500-$5,200 usedThe Meteor 350 is probably the most sorted Royal Enfield has ever built, and used examples are genuinely compelling value right now. The J-platform engine is smooth, oil-tight, and doesn't rattle itself apart like older Bullets — buy a 2021 or newer and you're getting a fundamentally reliable motorcycle. Check for fork seal weeps and inspect the tripper navigation pod wiring, which can get flaky on early cars. Electrics are the weak point across the board. Riding it, you get a genuinely relaxed 350cc single that pulls cleanly from low revs, handles twisties better than its cruiser styling suggests, and won't punish you on longer rides. It's not fast — highway cruising above 75mph feels strained — but it was never supposed to be. The finishing quality is inconsistent; some bikes are immaculate, others have paint issues and chrome that pits early. Inspect carefully before buying. For the money, nothing else gives you this much character and usability. Just budget for upgraded tyres immediately — the stock MRFs are genuinely dangerous in the wet.
