Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X Price in Mysore

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

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.

Riding experience is good, comfort for long rides. But pillion ride comfort is a nightmare, small seat not comfort for pillion rider and is very danger because it doesn't have any support for the pillion rider.
Looks are good and stylish, red color is quite attractive..
Sometimes vibrations makes your hand painful..
Service maintenance makes your pocket empty :
1. Every six months you have to change clamp of your odometer..
2. Once meter console stopped, and it requires around 10k to change it.
3.Chain is getting loosen even if we lubricate for every 2weeks..
4.Rust is the main issue, even there is sound from the silencer, because of the rusted shells inside the silencer. Build quality is very poor.
5. Nowadays petrol overflow through carburetor is a common issue, even servicemen don't know how to handle those issues
6. Highway mileage is impressive (above 40kpl) while mileage for city ride is around 20-25 km/l
7. Better to avoid services from authorized dealers, they are looting us by charging unwanted things, better to consult local repairing workshops which are familiar to us...
