Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 & Tourer.

Ok, clean bike, but a red frame listed as an improved by Aprilia 2004. Good price, and again clean. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/7554713046.html

Nice bike, fair asking price. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/mcy/7550324943.html

I bought my bike with the stock airbox and custom map, it runs great from idle to wide open, so I guess I got lucky.

Its the turquoise ring on the rims that sets it apart. Docc, at least he fixed the front fender issue you have been suffering through.

Very nice Randy!

Beautiful Bike

Update, the cottage is booked for the Spring Kentucky Spine Raid, so we definitely have space for "repairs".

Ok, so the spring Kentucky Spine Raid is locked in for May 19th-21st. We are working on renting a cottage on the state park property that has a garage. You know, useful for most spine raid tech sessions. Along with the main lodge just down the road with a restaurant and bar we should be good to go. Anybody know any good roads/routes in the area?

Travel.....

From the 7:00 to 8:50, wow, Alaska is beautiful.

"It's mission is to be a back roads looking at the scenery relaxing afternoon ride. And.. going to the store, parts chasing, etc. that will keep the miles off the increasingly rare Lario." Totally logical.

Royal Enfield's are typically on a smaller scale of size and power. Sometimes I think that hurts their credibility, but as a former owner of a(smaller) MG T3, I like them. I sat on every model bike they make on Saturday, and the riding triangle for the Continental GT was perfect, felt just right (very similar to my V11 Sport Rosso Mandello). Then I rode the bike and was absolutely surprised by the quality of the machine. The brakes were great, the light weight played in the bike's favor. My plan would be to buy one and let Nicole learn to ride a motorcycle. At the same time I could ride with my "senior rider" dad on his 22 V7 850 Special, it will be perfect. I have a 850lb 2020 Indian Chieftain Limited bagger for the long ride two up. A Continental GT would be just for fun, and that's exactly what I had on a ten mile test ride Saturday. I hope this helps.

"I see a Royal Enfield thread in our future."

So I sat on all of the Royal Enfield dealership selection repeatedly. I liked the Scram 411, the 350 Meteor sat good. But my heart dropped for a Ventura Storm Continental GT. So I went on a 10 mile test ride. I was really surprised by the initial quality impression. The power wouldn’t blow you away but was adequate and fun. The brakes by Brembo work brilliantly, and the bike feels a hundred pounds lighter than my dads 2022 V7 850 Special. The bike feels like it could run w that bike even if it’s only a 650. The transmission shifts quite a bit better also. Working on final approvals from financial advisor, aka my wife, will keep you posted. Oh yeah almost forgot, the riding triangle mimick’s the v11 Sport very closely.

Ironically tomorrow I’m going to pick up my Indian Chieftain at Indian Motorcycle of Lexington. Getting some service work done along w installing heated grips.😎The dealer also sells CFmoto & Royal Enfield. Chuck has absolutely inspired me to kick a leg over a 350 Classic & maybe a 650 Interceptor or Himalayan. 🤔

Chuck, Is the color Halcyon Black? I agree with you the fit and finish looks great.

83mpg to boot!- That's impressive, I like the looks of the new Royal Enfield Scram 411.

Taking a look at this again, I really like the Black over Silver Sport TT.

Been there will do that again! Docc isn’t part of the ownership experience at 20+ years old finding parts like a treasure hunt? As many are discontinued.
