        My 33,000 km ownership review of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350: Owning the Meteor 350 has been nothing short of a beautiful journey. After riding it for 33,000 km, I can confidently say this bike is not just about the ride but also about creating memories. The Meteor 350 is perfect for those who love comfortable cruising, daily rides, and weekend getaways. Even after 33,000 km, I still enjoy every ride as if it’s the first day. It’s a motorcycle that beautifully blends comfort, style, and reliability.

        A good bike with a retro design, perfect for long rides. No back pain, and the seating position feels like sitting on a sofa. The price is also affordable. Highly recommended go for it.
