Is the Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange suitable for beginners?

Here are aspects to consider:

Pros for beginners:

* The engine size (349 cc) is moderate, not overly large, which is good for someone moving up from smaller bikes.

* It has cruiser ergonomics (more relaxed riding posture) and the additional touring kit in the Sundowner edition (flyscreen, backrest, etc) helps comfort.

Things to consider / potential drawbacks:

* Kerb weight: ~ 191 kg for this variant. A heavier bike is more challenging in low-speed manoeuvres for beginners.

* While engine power is moderate, user needs to be comfortable with that weight and bike size.

Conclusion: Yes — for a beginner who is comfortable with the size and weight, the Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange could be a very suitable and stylish option. But a true beginner with little bike experience might want to ensure they are confident handling a ~190 kg cruiser before committing.
