1,000km — in a day! It sounds more like a quest than a ride, doesn’t it? Especially in India where challenges like bad roads and heavy traffic exist in abundance. However, being a cruiser, the Super Meteor 650 is meant to munch long miles while keeping the rider comfortable. And ‘comfort’ is the key word here. One can gobble up 1,000km on almost any given motorcycle. But only a select category of motorcycles warrant a pampering ride instead of a back-breaking one. And cruisers, like the Super Meteor 650, supposedly fall in that category.
To test the Super Meteor’s mettle in the truest sense, I headed out on a 1,000km ride from Mumbai to Bangalore which I intended to complete in a single day. At the end of it, did I want to do it again? If yes, then that was the true testament to the Super Meteor’s touring capabilities.
