Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Fireball 2021

Whether as a beginner's bike or a second bike, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 offers a hell of a lot of motorbike at a more than fair price. But one thing is clear: if you are looking for lap times or home track records, you should get another motorbike. Everyone else is guaranteed not to go wrong with the attractively designed Meteor 350. It's a great bike that could well become a blockbuster without any real competition on the market!

Unbeatable price

engine hugs the throttle well

turn-by-turn navigation

good ergonomics for big and small

highly customisable

coherent concept

chassis and brakes fit

big enough for two

good lean angle clearance

beginner-friendly.

Workmanship and material appearance occasionally at a low level

headlights with low luminous efficacy

engine power somewhat weak for motorway journeys.

Honda GB350S 2025

The Honda GB350 S is not a bike for the pub-talk - it is a bike for people who prefer riding to talking. Its virtues lie not in numbers, but in feeling. And that is precisely why it fits so well into the 1000PS best time concept. Because here, too, it's not the pure lap time that counts in the end - but what happens between the start and finish. Strengths: Weaknesses:

Wonderfully smooth engine running

precise modulation

honest ride feel

surprisingly good handling

classic look with technical maturity

high-quality workmanship

low fuel consumption

very smooth-running clutch

Too little power when overtaking in 70 km/h or 100 km/h zones annoys even relaxed drivers

very defensive traction control
