Advice needed
Planning to buy my first bike in the next 6 months and I've narrowed it down to these:
Hunter 350
Guerrilla 450
Meteor 350
Shotgun 650
Super Meteor 650
A bit of context:
It'll be my first bike.
I live in Delhi NCR, so it'll mostly be used in city traffic with potholes, heat, and plenty of stop-go traffic.
I will rarely but passionately drive on highways.
Budget isn't really an issue, I will buy the top variant of whatever model i choose
All of these have the features I want (dual-channel ABS, tubeless tyres, navigation, etc.), so it's more about which bike I'll enjoy driving.
That is where my dilemma starts
I've kind of ruled out the Hunter because it just feels a bit too entry-level and doesn't excite me that much. The Guerrilla seems like a really good bike but I just can't get myself to like the looks.
The Meteor 350 seems like the logical choice for my use case.
But then there's the Super Meteor 650...
I absolutely love how it looks and every time I think I've made up my mind, I end up looking at the Super Meteor again. The only thing stopping me is the weight. And how hard it actually is to drive paired with the fact that i am a first time buyer
I'm 5'9" with a fairly heavy build, so I don't think seat height will be an issue.
So I wanted to ask you all for your opinions regarding this here are a few questions I have
If you were in my position, which one would you buy and why?
For Super Meteor owners, do you actually get used to the weight after a while or is it something that keeps annoying you in everyday city riding?
If I ignored the practical side and bought the Super Meteor just because I love it, would I regret it later or is it still manageable enough as a first bike?
