P92 QUICKSPIN I ROYAL ENFIELD METEOR 350 This is a motor that will get to 70 mph easy enough, but it won't go much faster, so you need to take that into consideration when choosing your routes. Think back- road cruiser, not highway warrior. The Meteor's five-speed gearbox is mat- ed to a traditional cruiser heel-toe gearshift system, which I am not a fan of. It's espe- cially annoying in that I can barely fit my size 11 shoe under the gearshift if I wanted to shift in the traditional sense. Be that as it may, the gearbox is a smooth little unit and linked to a light clutch pull, something new riders will appreciate. The Tripper navigation system is excellent.
