Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Summary
Although Royal Enfield has been selling the Thunderbird in India since the year 2000, it was only by 2009 that the brand updated the motorcycle comprehensively by introducing the 346 cc unit construction engine (UCE) that now powers all their 350cc models.
In October 2012, Royal Enfield launched a facelifted version of the Thunderbird 350, featuring a teardrop shaped fuel tank, digital instruments and fuel gauge and a projector headlamp. Additionally, the motorcycle gets an LED tail light and a few other cosmetic enhancements.
The Thunderbird 350 uses a single cylinder, 4 stroke, Twinspark engine 19.8 bhp of power at 5,250rpm and 28Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. This air cooled unit is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It has recently been updated with the option of ABS for a very small premium over the standard model.
The Thunderbird 350 is available in five different colours and competes with the Jawa range, UM range, and to some extent, the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220.

Very comfortable seats for rider and pillion
5 weeks ago
Krish Patni
1. Very comfortable seats for rider and pillion. The riding position is also great with stretched arms.2. Includes an inbuilt backrest for the pillion.3. Matte black/stone color. Now that is what I am talking about being in a different league.4. Fancy gadgets give the feel of an upmarket cruiser. Twin disk brakes, rear adjustable gas shocks, projector headlamps, removable seats, larger fuel tank, and digital console.

TB-The Beast..
34 weeks ago
Pradeep Maurya
I have been using TB350 for many years for Long Distance Riding. Multiple times I have done Mumbai-Goa on TB. I just love Riding TB, it's an amazing machine. Very comfortable and reliable built quality. The only issue is spoke wheels, it's a big problem when it's punctured. Changing to mag wheels and using tubeless tires are highly recommended while going for long-distance riding.

Very good superbike, with amazing features, a riding experience, and service support very good. If you ride for a long drive with just awesome, already took for the long drive from Agra to Jaipur, Jaipur to Delhi so many times, daily good experience, you have to care for this bike because maintenance cost is a little bit more in comparison with others.

Strong Bike for a Strong Man
1 year ago
Venkat Reddy
Owned it for about 7 years, and had many amazing experiences and memories with it. I previously owned a Bajaj Avenger and a Yamaha rx100. After a while, I wanted a stronger and more reliable bike. Only took it to service twice and that too only for minor issues. Other than that, it accelerates very well and sounds like a beast.

Thunder...Certainly not a bird!

Girish Dedhe
Cool to ride. The braking could have been better! puncture of the rear tyre though not frequent is a big headache! skids if brakes are applied urgently. Good for daily commutes as well as long rides. Doesn't heat up too much in traffic. Very comfortable riding position. Not very expensive for maintenance. Overall a good bike to own!

The best bike to ride with pride Speed is awesome just throttle it and it runs fast and furious jut be safe as pick up is too good and fast while driving Maintenances need to be done periodically so the bike gives good mileage and running freedom of worryRiding the bike gives you a feel as if you are riding this with the pride.

Thunderbird 350 ownership review
1 year ago
Ambuj
1. Buying experience:- had to wait 1.5 months.. Frustrating2. Riding experience:- when I bought it 7 yrs ago, it was clearly a great machine, but as of now, many other bikes are available for long and comfortable cruising3. Looks:- look is a subjective thing... Everyone has different tastes. Me, I still love its looks.4. Performance and maintenance:- performance is great, but royal enfield demands great care and frequent service and repairs as its company-suggested service interval is every 3000kms or 3 months (whichever is earlier)5. Pros:- great tourer, ultimate riding comfort, great mileage (mine is 35-42 in the city and 40-45 on the highway)Cons:- needs frequent service and repairs but parts are easily available everywhere, too much vibration when compared to other bikes.

Change engine oil every 3000 kms, use shell advance synthetic oil instead for Better performance. Clean the chain regularly (Every 400-500kms) for healthy chain sprockets.

Named thunderbird but its elephant
2 years ago
Kailash
It's huge!!!If you are huge :) so this is for you. It's a great bike for touring and showcasing. I don't recommend it for a daily commute and not useful for frequent rides in the city, also you will be frustrated while riding in traffic due to its weight and slow movement of the traffic.And keep in mind that it requires regular servicing.

Maintenance is very costly
2 years ago
Lakshmipathi Reddy
1. Buying experience is good2. Riding experience is ok3. Bike looks very good, but performance is very bad4. This is a very fraud service which gives all authorized royal service centers, simply they will charge this I have checked all most all bangalore service centers, and most frequently I am facing puncture people are not available anywhere, generally other bikes everywhere we can get it ready immediately but for this bike people not even ready to take this bikes for a puncture, and each and every part very costly, we can easily maintain one car for this expenses, so people beware of this royal Enfield bikes.5. Above I have mentioned everythingNo good in this vehicle.

Pathetic aftersales support
3 years ago
Chandan
I am wondering if re takes their customers seriously after the product is sold. Please invest in aftersales support re, I am surprised how such an established brand can not manage one small grievance of a customer who has been loyal for 10+years. Not appreciated re, I hope to hear from your team on a resolution please.

Thunderbird 350
4 years ago
Tejas
Hello guys, My very bad experience with royal enfield thunderbird 350 Very pathetic and very bad experience. At the time of buying every sales person said only good things regarding thunderbird But from last 1 year. I started facing battery draining issue and authorized service centers in (kandivali west) also not able to find the problem and some mechanics say its magnetic coil issue means within 2.5 years and only on 15000 km if we have to open the engine so why we buy royal enfield in compare to royal enfield other companies bikes its very good and maintenance also low. Please guys if you want to buy royal enfield then think twice to fifty times his name only royal and some looks but its very much poor bike.
