This is not a "fanboy" review

As the header says, i'm not writing the review as a "fanboy". I read countless reviews of the re bikes before i went for a tbts last year and have been reading them steadily. I always believe that re bikes are shortchanged by reviewers -- the main problem is that the expectations of the reviewers from the bike are often entirely different and sometimes not at all what the bike is supposed to meet in the first place !!

for example, people say that re bikes are "unreliable" -- well, i have a tbts for 18 months now -- and i have taken it on various solo trips . Not once has it failed on me. The key is to give the bike a look-over every now and then and if anything doesn't look right, get it tightened, adjusted or fixed straightaway -- a stitch in time folks , it's not an old saying for no reason. You cannot simply accuse your bike of being unreliable if you allow things to go bad. If you say that a bike is no good if it requires such frequent maintenance checks -- then unfortunately, the re is not the bike for you, but don't accuse it of being unreliable.

Another thing that i'd like to mention is that a re bike requires a very good mechanic to make it work perfectly. Not many mechanics -- not many in the authorised service centers either -- have that touch. In fact, i believe so many people complain about re bikes simply becaue the its a fault on the part of re themselves that their service center staff is often not good enough. So, for an re you need to find a good mechanic in your area -- one with reputation and experience and this little thing can make a lot of difference in how your bike behaves. Secondly : fuel -efficiency -- one of the most common complaints of reviewers. My bike gives a steady mileage of around 46kmpl on the highway and around 40-42 kmpl in city conditions -- i think it is a very good fuel efficiency for an engine that size. Yes, it could be improved, but it isn't bad either. Those who accuse an re of bad fuel efficiency -- again, your expectations are not in sync with reality -- you need to go for the lighter bikes that claim to give 60+ kmpl. To conclude the preamble -- before buying a re bike, and definitely before calling it worthless or unreliable, you need to ask yourself what do you need a bike for -- if you need a bike that can be neglected for months and will still perform perfectly, giving a fuel efficiency of 60kmpl or more at the same time -- then a re is not what you need to buy.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine runs smoothly without many hiccups. Self-start is a boon, but is a bit tricky to catch on to than most other bikes. Power output, given the size of the engine, is a little less -- but not that much. The torque, too, is a bit low for an engine this size but provides enough acceleration to leave traffic behind. Fuel economy is fair. Gear shifting is a bit crude with false neutrals occassionally -- one area that has scope of improvement.

Ride quality & handling balance is very good, the bike (tbts) doesn't feel heavy at all while riding. Best feel of the ride is between 60 and 80 kmph. Beyond 90kmph the ride becomes shaky, esp if there are strong crosswinds. (Not that i recommend riding a bike at more than 90kmph on any indian road).

Final words despite of all the negative reviews, i consider a re tbts to be a very well balanced bike that will take care of you if you give it a little attention. The bike's price-tag is a bit on the higher side considering all it's pros and cons. I'd be happier if the bike was priced at 1.1Lakh or whereabouts. Also, the re company need to have better servicing staff at their outlets and workshops.

Pros

styling, comfort, fuel economy.

Cons

cost, non-homogeneous service

Very comfortable seats for rider and pillion
1 week 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..
30 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.

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.

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!

Thunderbird 350 ownership review
1 year ago
Ambuj
1. Buying experience:- had to wait 1.5 months.. Frustrating
2. 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 cruising
3. 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.

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.

1. Buying experience is good
2. Riding experience is ok
3. Bike looks very good, but performance is very bad
4. 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 everything

TB-The Beast..
30 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.

Changing the spoke wheel to a Magwheel with Tubeless Tyres will be very useful.

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!

Thunderbird 350 ownership review
1 year ago
Ambuj
1. Buying experience:- had to wait 1.5 months.. Frustrating
2. 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 cruising
3. 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.

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 good
2. Riding experience is ok
3. Bike looks very good, but performance is very bad
4. 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 everything
No good in this vehicle.

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 worry
Riding the bike gives you a feel as if you are riding this with the pride.
