In a galaxy far far away, there was a meteor that was sighted more often than not. And on Earth, there is one meteor that has been seen multiple times over the past two years and that is the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. And quite interestingly, the test mules have changed with time, however, not as much as ‘Chinki’ from Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.

*Puts on investigative hat*

The recently spotted Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 features a new, much sleeker, twin-pod console, as opposed to what was spotted almost two years ago – a chunky instrument cluster borrowed from the 650 twins.

Are there any hardware changes? Possibly. The recent test mules of the cruiser sport ByBre branded brake calipers. However, the previous mules were devoid of any branding, so it is likely that the braking hardware has not actually changed. Or has it?

As the bike nears its production-ready stage, more of its visual elements are exposed, ready and more vibrant. So the recent spy shots display a new brushed metal finish below the battery box, which is a rather small change, yet manages to give the bike a slightly more premium appeal. 

The launch date of the bike is still under wraps, however, we expect the Super Meteor 650 to break cover in November this year alongside the Himalayan 450 LC. It could likely be priced at around Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
