Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is good to buy between Thunderbird 350X and Thunderbird 350
  • If you are interested in urban riding then go for Thunderbird 350x it comes with alloy wheel and Thunderbird 350 comes with spokes which is good for off roading adventures, 350x more stylish than 350 but in terms of features they are almost same.
  • Definitely Thunderbird 350. Both bikes are same with jus a few changes such as ABS, tubeless tyres etc. 350 is more retro compared to 350x..esp.the colors. Performance wise both are same.
  • None....but if you want to buy between the two... I would suggest the good old thunderbird....I have sold my thunderbird x within one year as I was having just too many problems with the bike

Q. Which is best bike, Classic 350 or Thunderbird 350X?
  • Depends on your riding style, height. Thunderbird 350x BS4 has an issue with the Tank creating a vacuum which doesn't allow the fuel to flow freely and thus halting the engine. I've personally experienced the the issue and the bike stops every 2-3kms on a speed between 60-80km/hr. My cousin faced similar issue on classic 350 but the issue resolved after first service.
  • If your opting for a daily commute than long tours. Please opt Classic 350.If your thinking for both options, you can prefer 350X. It has the looks, Better ergonomics, Tubeless tyres and alloy wheels with dual channel ABS>PS: - Believe me its a head turner
  • About 33 kms with city ride + highway

Q. I am confused about TB 350X and 500X! Both seems same in spec except cc and torque. What would you recommend? Carburetor for 350 and fuel injection 500, so in long run which one is reliable?
  • It all boils down your needs and affordability. 500cc has alot of higher end bike tech in it. so obviously it demands more care and expertise to maintain. (it's common among any high end bikes) I own a TB 500X and except for services cost I have not faced any issues..!and yea there is a 5years extended warranty from company if you only get the serviced from RE service centre at regular intervals..! 350 is not a bad bike but if you wana step up a notch be ready for the costs and polished riding style
  • 350x is easier to maintain and quite reliable. 500x has more power and has fi but in case of maintaining it has gone above par. Some where 500cc bikes of RE are hard to maintain. If you are spending for about 2.5 to 3L you should definitely go for Interceptor 650twins for this is the best. Otherwise you go for TB350x. It is good reliable and easier to maintain. Good luck with the choice.
  • Carburetors are supposed to be more reliable in the sense that they are much "simpler" and can be fixed by any and every other mechanic.But fuel injected isn't a problem. Guess what is the problem? Lack of power in the 350. I regret every second that I didn't go for the 500 instead.

    The Urban Cruiser 

    When I bought the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street, I was looking for a bike that could handle daily commutes and occasional long rides with equal ease. The Avenger 220 Street With its commanding street presence, low slung seat and a powerful 220cc engine, seemed like the perfect match. The cruiser's engine, producing 19.03 PS power and 17.5Nm torque has never left me wanting, whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the highway.However the journey has not been all smooth in terms of comfort.

    Using a mix of nostalgic inspiration 

    " The 2023 Bajaj Avenger Street 220 for me has been like the best of both worlds, offering a combination of vintage cruiser form with the latest package of technologies on it. Aesthetically catchy with roomy seating position offers the rider the opportunity to pick the bike from the rest of other cruisers. The low road 220 Street shows ​ ​how it delivers ​high-end satisfying rides along with nice handling ​ characteristics, this ​definitely brings back the feel of cruising joy. By releasing the power in an unhurried manner, the system is able to ensure that drivers on long trips enjoy a gentle and comfortable ride. Safety parts like the disc brakes will make rides more playful as now you would not have to worry about the brakes. The inviting seat and eye-catching styling only serve to increase the closet's attractiveness. Bajaj Avenger 220 street is indeed a classic car, a certainly new standard to the other cruiser cars when it comes to style and comfort."

    Overall it is good. But 

    This is good looking bike.U will feel very comfortable while riding.But i am not satisfied there are major issues which services centre couldn’t fix.1.Whenever i wash it i need mechanic everytime after wash to start it.2.U can’t go in rain with this.It will stop after getting wet.You will hv to wait it till it dry.3.So forget about leh laddakh trip with this.Your maximum time will waste in regretting and trying to start it.4.Every month you hv to go for chain repair.It becomes loose.And service centre will tell you to replace with new chain set 😊😊.So you will hv to go to local mechanic.5.Meter stand will break in every 3month in the middle of driving.6.This is made for summer only.7.In winter you will start and driving but in the middle of the road it will be stopped.Great news service centre will tell you it is winter.It will happen.Think before high speed driving on highway in winter.8.
