This custom-made Royal Enfield Starship Meteor 350 is inspired from Star Wars

Ironwood Motorcycles' Arjan van den Boom says the inspiration for the Royal Enfield Starship Meteor comes from his love for the Star Wars movie franchise.

Royal Enfield Europe commissioned Ironwood Motorcycles, a Dutch custom bike workshop, to customize it's Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and the result is the Starship Meteor, seen here as it rolls out in Amsterdam. On sale in Europe since 2020, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is the Indian automaker’s 350cc replacement for the Thunderbird 350, built at Royal Enfield’s technical centre in Chennai. Ironwood Motorcycles' Arjan van den Boom says the inspiration for the Starship Meteor comes from his love for the Star Wars movie franchise. The pre-custom model, painted in Fireball Yellow, now adorns the ‘Meteor Rain’ paint.

Let’s take a closer look at the changes to the Ironwood Starship Meteor. First and foremost, the Bobber-styled 350cc motorcycle comes with a Meteor Rain motif on the tank and side covers, giving it a melancholy look, while the standard handlebar is replaced by a black Supercross handlebar. The black bellows stretch from the lower triple clamp to the immersion tube, while the tailor-made black mudguards go over the massive studded tires from Continental. The black "Piggy-Back" shock absorbers from YSS complete the overall appearance.
