Hi, I have a Himmy and a UCE500 (and a few other bikes) and found the Meteor, admittedly on my short, 45 min test ride, just a bit down on power even for my RE desensitised wrist. I understand what you say on the performance drop from the Himmy, it's not much, about the same as the Himmy feels from the UCE500 but, for me at least at the moment, it's just a small step two far, particularly as it would mostly be used with a pillion.Rushour wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 4:32 pmI have changed from the Himalayan to the Meteor - very difficult to tell the performance drop in the capacity - I wish everyone would stop assuming its going to be the same performance as the old pushrod model and go out and ride one - they are a super little bike and the attention to detail and build quality is another step up from the twins.
Argyll, Ardnamurchan ? Nothing better than a "lazy" bike on these roads.Cammy Cameron wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 3:24 pmI'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I've been watching all the relevant Meteor yu- tube videos and I'm rather impressed with this wee bike. You see, thing is, I'm 62 years young and I live in Scotland on a peninsula that has some great wee roads and thinking about my retirement, this might just be an ideal bike to keep me happy and mobile. So, my deposit, £250 is down and the wait will be rather lengthy for the arrival of my Yellow Fireball. Any feedback and advice will be generously lapped up for sure. So now.......... tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...........................................

Very true, I went out on my 865 Speedmaster earlier today and I find myself probably going faster than I should do, out on the Him yesterday, 60 mile ride, and nice and leisurley. Horses for courses....
