Reviews of Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500

Very much surprised about the negative review of this Macho 500cc. I own this machine For 10 years, mine is a 2013 model and Today is 2023 almost the year's end but still, this bull Never ever gives up and makes me feel shit and done. The fact is that I own this bull as my family member. I care for this bull. My maintenance is just 3000/- a year and I have just changed my tires and clutch wire now . No major issues so far I have ridden to 25000kms. The torque of this bull is no match with any bike. I have touched 150+ with a curd weight of 200kg of this bike + mine 95kg. The only drawback is weight apart no major issues.

About the Reviewer

I bought this for 2,00,000on the road market price. My riding experience on this bullet is awesome. It is 4-5 years old. I am still using it. It's worth it. My riding experience is too good. Its look is dashing in black color. I have also bought a black color helmet matching my bullet. Its service mileage is good. You can easily trust.

About the Reviewer

First i thought it would be only my dream. But soon after purchasing it, no words could explain it. It is my life's best partner on road and every time when i tried to experience my skill of driving, it reacts simply superb. I strongly recommend to road trip lovers. Never miss this machine else you loose one important person in lifetime.

About the Reviewer

First of all thunderbird 500 is the best value for money cruiser currently available in indian market. It impressed me the second i took test ride. It can cruise at 100kmph all day without tiring you.But 80-90 is the sweet spot.I basically come from royal enfield ( i have already a classic 350) family so vibrations according to me actually add more characteristics to the bike so i cruise at 120 during long rides i really don’t mind vibrations even harley’s vibrate it is more like a basic element of a cruiser.It is a long stroke bike.If you love crazy amount of torque with decent power then search no more this is the perfect urban cruiser.I do mean it when i say it’s an urban cruiser. It can be easily manoeuvred at traffics also. I am a short guy myself you won’t have any difficulty managing it. It can do wonders on highway yet keep you so safe with its excellent braking, though occasional usage of gear cuts may do wonders. It is sold for more than half million price in uk and yet people prefer this over harley there. It is called as rumbler. When you cruise above 120 you can hear the rumbling of the bike that’s why.About pillion comfort let me tell you, some bikes becomes hard to control with pillion at the back but this, pillion adds more comfort to you!last but not the least, i don't know why everyone are saying it doesn’t give mileage, as i said earlier it is a long stroke bike, it never go above 2000 rpm at any case for the first 2000 kms! and never cross 80 kmph even if it’s tempting to do! trust me i once got 45 kmpl while doing a highway trip.Though i generally get 35 - 40 kmpl on highways and 25 - 30 on city.It is one of the most effector to pertrol consuming beast out there.And always do engine oil change like mentioned in the manual.And never give your bike to re showroom after your free services gets over. Give it to your trusted mechanic! and see how the vibrations reduce.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience is lit bit bad.Riding experience is good because of his seat and also the back supporter on back seat is nice.Now comes to the looks the looks of my bike is good and hunky and the performance is also good only on by-pass or free roads.Service and maintenance is very costly. Overall the bike is nice but some little thing is missing in this bike.

About the Reviewer

Feel safe and confident while riding my tb 500. In looks it is good , wish it has some decoration which give it tough look. Anyhow i am in love with my bike . It's sound very gentle and gives you feeling that though you have 500 cc , don't show-off keep your head down and enjoy yourself.While your bike is moving it does not let you feel it's weight balancing is fantastic .Your hands hands and back do not get tired though you have continuous ride of 4 to 5 hrs .

The heart of India ! a complete riding machine,takes the rough with the smooth,provides power, style and value for money.Although it may seem she is a big block bike you have a mileage that is enviable.

The ride is beautiful considering the road conditions, and allows you full control to coast.

The large tank ensures you need not take a break every now and then enjoying a continuous enjoyable ride.

Keep it up ...Thunderbird ....All the way !
