Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X Price in Kadur

The worst bike I have used in my life, I started with a yamaha rxg 1999-2014 moved to tvs-fiero then tbts .
Royal Enfield is the worst manufacturer of the 3, with constant failures, and replacement of parts.
I am from a mech background and can understand the grade of steel hardness etc. Royal Enfield is the worst quality part in terms of material. Be it chassis engine electricals forks/shocks every department.
I don't know how many times the center stand has been welded. Changed wiring harness once battery once in 3 yrs tank once fork seals more than 5 times so its a piece of cheap quality junk parts which works well at the beginning.

About the Reviewer

My buying experience was great. I have ridden 25000kms in 2-2½ years and it is running smoothly. The only thing is that it should serviced periodically and maintain it properly. Braking is great and dual channel abs works brilliant. Performance could be better but the torque is at par, 125-130 is the top speed. It is a capable long distance cruiser bike. Can cruise at 80kmph without much vibration and it is absolutely stable. Feature rich when compared the classic 350.
Riding feel is something different, very mature and that royal enfield feel for which most of the royal enfield owner buy them.
This bike has a great road presence, everyone
Turns their heads and see the bike, like it's a rare sports bike. Looks of this bike stands out of the crowd. Especially i own the red colored one which looks like a beast. It looks like a sporty bike
Servicing is good but costumer service could be better. Every paid service costs approx.Rs2250
Lights are excellent. Front lights, indicators, instrument cluster illumination, rear led light- look very good. Light spread is good.
It is a heavy bike (200kg). But extremely stable at 90kmph above that there is vibration from the engine. Rides like it owns the road. Riding feel is very impressive. Comfortable for long distance riding
Pros- looks, features, safety, capable cruiser, comfortable, lights are brilliant.
Cons- could have more top speed and more punch after 105kmph according the price and 350cc

Got the bike from the garage cafe in baga.
Comparing it to thunderbird 350, thunderbird x is more comfortable.
Suspension is rigid.
It is still one of the best looking royal enfield bikes.
Getting mileage of about 35 to 40 km/l.
The handlebar was short so I got a standard thunderbird handlebar.
Overall a great bike.
Now thunderbird is called a failed bike in the Indian market but you will not regret owning one.
Great value for money.
