Peak power is 20.2bhp at 6100rpm, while it produces a decent 19.9lb.ft of torque. Neither are going to set the world on fire but it’s more than enough for nipping around town. Paired with this is a five-speed gearbox, which again should be fine at sensible speeds, as well as a 15 litre petrol tank. There isn’t an MPG figure yet but we’d imagine the little single will sip at the fuel, so the range is likely to be in excess of 200 miles.


I guess it's more for newbies rather than old school, but if someone wants a bit of cool, maybe this will tick their boxes?

The 350 is a new engine, it' based on the 650 lump... with a cylinder missing and and a bit overbored.

Supposed to be a bit more environmentally friendly and more refined than my 500 EFI, although mine has a book figure of 27bhp (yeah right).

I have noticed that the Meteor does Smartphone Mirroring, which is nice on a cheap commuter.

20bhp is probably what a DR350 makes, so top speed will be in the mid 80s.
The wheels look like they come from a GPZ1100B1
