Heavily influenced by cruiser designs from around the world, the Super Meteor is going against the trend of recent years which has seen classic deigns favoured over cruiser designs from most manufacturers.
Of course, almost all of Royal Enfield's bikes are retro designs, and they lend themselves to being transformed into cruisers quite readily.
The lines run from a 19-inch front wheelcast, with different sized spokes - and upside down forks to an almost bobbed rear end, a large guard covering a 16-inch wheel.
In between is a single big, round headlight, a set of pull-back handlebars, a 15 litre tank above the motor ahead of the low seat and small pillion pad.
