Royal Enfield powers up its cruiser range
Royal Enfield has broadened its range of cruiser motorcycles with the new Super Meteor 650.
Based around Royal Enfield’s 6480cc twin engine, the Super Meteor 650 follows on from the Meteor 350 and sits alongside the firm’s growing range of motorcycles.
That engine has already been used in Royal Enfield’s Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 motorcycles, too. It brings 46bhp and 52.3Nm of torque, driven through a six-speed gearbox.
It’s available in one of two specifications – Super Meteor 650 and Super Meteor 650 Tourer. The latter has as a touring windscreen, passenger backrest and long-haul panniers.
The Super Meteor 650 brings high-speed stability, while all bikes get LED headlights and a new navigation system.
With feet-forward foot controls, a low seat and pulled-back handlebars, it has been created to be as comfortable as possible over longer distances.
Prices have not been released yet.
