A guy named Schaaf has been on youtube for about 10 years riding around the Swiss/German/Italian/Austrian Alps on a 2000 or so Honda 500 twin. A few years ago he started to film himself on a wider variety of bikes.
Since our S40 has been out of production since 2019, and some of us have been looking for a replacement, here is Schaaf on a RE Meteor 350. Enjoy !

WoW !  

I've got a RE Meteor , but I never thought of ridding it like this feller in the video !!!

I've been putt-putting around to the point of averaging 80+ mpg.
Its got gearing for about 95 mph
          power for about 85 mph on flat ground
          and a speed limiter set to about 75 mph
          also a RPM Limiter set to 6850. (B&S 72x86mm-two valves).
It's a very likeable bike for my stage in life.   I never thought of it as a  Houlihan bike !
It reminds me a lot of a 160ci Ford Falcon , or maybe an 1980's Chevy S-10 with the four cylinder I used to have them both.   But the RE 350 pulls hills better than the S-10 did !

I have to tell ya'll , " It Feels and Rides like a 2/3 power Savage.  The same sitting position , same turn-in on twisty roads , but with better suspension and a stiffer frame.   None of that Hob-Numbering in the middle of a turn stuff.

I think I need to go back and watch the video again !  

I've read that the "Hunter" version don't have the speed limiter ?  It does have the tubeless tires too.

The RPM limiter set a 6850 is already HIGH for a stroke of 86mm and the two valve head has to be running out of "Breathing Room" at those RPM anyway.

The Hunter version is also the lightest and cheapest version .
Under $5k for a new machine with a 3 year Warrantee is about the best in the industry - IMHO.

I was very easy durning the break-in period , but now at 8000+ miles mine has loosened up and runs a lot stronger than it did early on.   Those rumors about the valve adjustment must be from RE's competitor's - I checked the valves at 600 miles then again at 6000 miles and have reused the same head cover gasket both times (its thick rubber-fitted in a grove).   With only two valves it couldn't be easier , one hour oil change and valve check ! .   At 12,000 miles I'll do it again along with an oil change.    
...........

Hay , if Honda would make us a 500cc single like the 350 they are selling in the Indian market , then I'd grab one of them up in a heart-beat !
