Style good.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox engine is good. Good milege and gear is bit hard, but ok.
Ride quality & handling comfortable ride and handling won't be an issue once you get used to.
Final words totally satisfied with a bike. Before getting it, i prepared myself because that was my first experience with the bike before that i was using pulser 150cc. I already aware that it is not a normal japanese kind bike so whatever issues i had faced after getting it, it was not surprised me. I have learn few safety and riding tricks by experience. So when i realizes someone is complaining about these machines i always count these people in that japanese kind bike rider class. They are not matured enough for these machines. I am not saying that i am perfect here, but i always try to be. Few tricks may be it helps new comers,
i) always first start in a day with kick not using button start.
Ii) keep a bike start in an ideal rpm (700-100 rpm) for atleast 2 mins.
Iii) before taking it in first gear gives some acceleration (about 1.5K-2k rpm).
Iv) ride smoothly, try to up-shift gear when engine rpm reaches upto 2.5K-3k rpm.
V) try to ride bike in proper gear. (Many times i do not able to shift it in fifth gear due to road conditions).
Vi) use proper engine oil (i use motul 3000 4t plus 15w50) and replace it after certain intervals (5k-6k).
Vii) try to keep your bike clean. Do it by yourself, because it gives you better understanding of your bike.
Viii) learn little maintenance by reading user manual.
Ix) feel your bike. It will respond you.
I have completed almost 35k in 2 years, including some long trips.
Yes! totally satisfied.
Areas of improvement need some basic training to new riders.
Pros
good engine, good mileage
cons
few negligible manufacturing defects
Very comfortable seats for rider and pillion

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

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
