ROYAL ENFIELD SUPER METEOR 650

The motorcycle that conjures up dreams of the open road in a dimly lit parking garage

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the world’s most popular training aircraft because of something called positive static stability. In essence, the aircraft will automatically return to level flight when left to its own devices. Other aircraft may be more agile, but those are nowhere near as stable as the Skyhawk. And this is the thought that popped into my head as I leaned the Super Meteor 650 into the first corner at walking speed, after being handed the keys to the current flagship Royal Enfield by Ed himself. It felt like the motorcycle had outrigger wheels attached to it, and the moment I released the pressure on the handlebar, it righted itself.
