re: Royal Enfield Motorcycles

I have a Royal Enfield INT650 that I love. I think you may like the 350 as a first bike, but I’ll wager that within a year you’ll trade it for something bigger. The great thing about Royal Enfield is they are basically affordable versions of classic British cycles but with fuel injection and ABS disc brakes. They only have one ride mode, and maintaining it is easy if you are so inclined to do your own work.

I have rode Harleys and Triumphs for most of my adult life but my 2021 RE Interceptor is my pick when I want to just go blast down River Road on Sunday. There is a plethora of parts and accessories for these bikes (RE) some factory, some aftermarket. The 650 can be stepped up to a 750 or 865 cc respectively by buying a big bore kit from S&S Cycles.

I would take a Motorcycle safety course now just to see if you really want to ride. Remember though the asphalt is hot in summer and the classes fill up fast. Later when you buy your bike take the advanced course using your own bike.

Check out YouTube and watch the Fuzzy Biker and anything from Baxter Cycles in Marne, Iowa. They are always riding and reviewing all of the Royal Enfield line.

I find the Super Meteor very interesting , check it out, it is assembled with a cruiser frame very much like the 350 Meteor, but it has the larger and more powerful 650cc engine.
