Great bike good mileage and comfortable riding
Overall a great bike for cruising doesn’t have much vibrations the seating posture and the gear level positioning is super and very comfortable for riding its a reliable motorcycle with retro styling which looks fabulous but it does sometimes have slight problems with the gear lever getting stuck for some seconds then automatically gets fixed next day one drawback is that the headlights are really really weak and not positioned properly they project upwards in sky rather than on road

Best for velue for money
The Meteor 350 excels in comfort, thanks to its well-padded seats and relaxed riding position. Its dual-cradle frame and 41mm telescopic forks in the front ensure a stable and smooth ride. The rear twin shock The LED DRL and retro-inspired design give it a distinctive charm.absorbers can handle bumps effectively, making it ideal for Indian roads.

The staffs were very kind
The staffs were very kind and warmly guided us through the entire buying process. The bike has great fuel economy around 26km/l mileage in highways and 21km/l on city roads. Although it's not very comfortable for long rides. I would highly recommend you all to try this out. Become my favourite bike. Built is also amazing.
