I put a small flyscreen on and it made a world of difference to wind protection without spoiling the look of the bike. No more buffeting at highway speeds was one of the benefits.

It depends on your body type, I think. I'm 6'2" and find the ergonomics to be perfect for me. After an hour, my shorter friend tried it and felt cramped. If you are planning to tour, definitely test ride it for a good distance before buying.

It depends on your skill level. It's fine in the city if you're comfortable with bigger bikes. If you’re accustomed to smaller, more nimble motorcycles, however, it will feel a bit like steering a boat at first. You’ll adapt to it, however, if you give it time.

I was thinking about a used Harley but the Super Meteor's low maintenance cost and easy parts availability tipped me over. It certainly doesn’t have the same street cred, but it’s a much more practical choice for everyday riding.

The USB port placement is just bizarre; it is placed in the side panel. It's a pain to get to, and you can't ride with your phone charging unless you keep the panel open. It seems a strange design choice.
