Today I saw a Royal Enfield Meteor. Honestly I didn't like its new BS-6 compliant SOHC engine so much as the BS-4 OHV one, but its appearance is quite upscale enough to remind me of some fancier motorcycles. Considering it has the same engine now fitted to the Royal Enfield Classic, which used to be seen as a workhorse to the same extent the Honda CG is seen in my country, and the CG had also switched to old-school OHV to SOHC between 2004 and 2009, it's still quite interesting, plus the Meteor seems to be well suited to both a more recreational-oriented rider and someone effectively willing to commute by motorcycle.
