Buy only if: 1) you want to show off and can't afford harley. 2) want powerful ride (although many other bikes are available with more power than this)3) size (the only advantage over every bike)4) you love driving (about 50km/day average running)Don't buy b'coz :1) very high maintenance cost after 2 years.2) lack of service good centres (and if you find one they are there to cheat you every time)3) no serious quality check (if you are lucky, you will get a bike which will ride for more than 50k km without any breakdown. But, if not you will get your engine opened even after 10k km)4) spare parts are way too costly (just a meter panel on tb350 costs more than rs. 6000)5) daily average driving is less than 20 km and bike stands idle for more than 10 days at one stretch (believe me this bike is not a fan of standing idle)And the list for not buying goes on...I have written this review after riding my bike for 4 years and spending around 60k during these years. :-(Good luck.

    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

    28 weeks 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!

    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.

  • Named thunderbird but its elephant

    Kailash

    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

    1 year 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.

    Jasheel Raut

    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.

    I am wondering if re takes their customers seriously after the product is sold. Please invest in aftersales support re, I am surprised how such an established brand can not manage one small grievance of a customer who has been loyal for 10+years. Not appreciated re, I hope to hear from your team on a resolution please.

  • Named thunderbird but its elephant

    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

    1 year 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.

    Very good super bike, amazing features, riding experience, service support very good. If you ride for a long drive with just awesome, already took for long drive from Kanpur to Banaras, Banaras to Kanpur so many times, daily good experience, you have to care for this bike because maintenance cost is little bit more in comparison with others.

  • Strong Bike for a Strong Man

    28 weeks 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!

    1 year ago


    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.
