Well, that was a blast and a half.

The past week has been pro bono plant flights to Texas for quintessential company and an exclusive scoot or three. If you haven’t heard, Royal Enfield just hosted the reveal of their Super Meteor 650 to the American masses – a bike well worth the 10-hour layovers at YYZ proper, as I soon found out.

Luckily for us, RE’s event included a full day(ish) in the saddle testing the nimble cruiser along the Lone Star State’s topography, concluding with the official release of the bike’s pricing that evening to top-tier platefuls of macros.

Fancy a guess at what Royal Enfield has priced their newest brainchild and when it’ll be in US dealerships?

What are the specs of the Super Meteor 650 again?​


A reminder that the Super Meteor carried RE’s 648cc parallel twin platform, which is capable of 46.4hp (34.6kW, or 47PS) @ 7,250rpm, with torque providing a thoroughly relevant 38.57ft-lbs (52.3Nm) of yank @ 5,650 rpm.
