It uses a clean-sheet, 349-cc, single-cylinder engine and a five-speed gearbox.

The engine makes a surprisingly tractable 20 horsepower.

The Meteor features a single disc brake up front with a Bybre caliper.

It also sports basic, non-adjustable suspension.

What it lacks in bling, it makes up for by being pleasant to ride and cheap to own.

What's unclear is whether the bike will find a home with the big engine-obsessed US cruiser buyer.
