I've had a proper test ride on a Meteor 350.
It is a VERY comfortable bike for me, being a little lacking vertically.
On normal roads it handles very nicely, it won't outperform much but it is very smooth, no surprises in any area and nicely weighted. A very easy ride and it turned plenty of heads with its looks and gently burbling exhaust tone.
A couple of small negative points, the clutch is standard heavy, which may get a little tiresome in city traffic of longer durations. The other is top speed, I would expect a 350 to manage 120kmh/75mph without noticeable vibrations but the Meteor starts to lose its smoothness a little after 90kmh. If I went on longer trips as planned, using decent roads, I'd want to do a good "motorway" cruise when conditions allowed.
Basically the heart said oh-yeah, love it but the head had doubts. Back to the original plan of waiting for the CB350H and Yammy XSR300 to land here. I don't think there will be a clear winner but one will be best "on balance".
