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.

    a purchase that is worthwhile  

    In more than different colours and features, the Jawa Perak is a modern bike for newer generation. It is an amazing bike model with services at one’s feet. It is easy to operate and even easier to operate and drive. With attractive exterior built and comfortable seats, it is quite nicely suited for both the driver and the passenger at the back. The showroom offers a very obvious and well deserving price for this model and according to me its a great investment. The other functionalities are top notch and smooth.

    Perak Majesty, Bobber Heritage. 

    I ride my Jawa Perak for More distant than Clearly a Tour. It's drinking the black ritual sportfisherman and letting Perak loose. This motorcycle isn't exclusively for traveling . It all comes down to carrying it out with the special, upsetting fetish of the Perak series. Everyride demonstrates Jawa's devotion to give a disparate riding experience because of the Perak's eye- catching appearance and important interpretation. It's not Clearly a bike. It reflects a rider's love of ritual sedans and the black, icing that every path is met with the presence and faculty for which the Perak is famed.

I have a Pulsar 220 dts-i 2009 model. Still running like a beast. I am on budget, I couldn't find any other bikes under 3 lakhs which could impress me since pulsar 220 back in 2009. Well, i was impressed with 200 but then, the bookings closed for 200 and 220 had started. So... I took a test drive today and was simply mind blown away with the initial pick up and the power (Totally missing in RE for this age and time). I loved everything riding this Legendary bike to be. Yes, there are some cons. Well, to start with, ground clearance is quiet low 160mm I believe, unless you are a careful rider, this is not going to be a right choice for off road activites. Second, yes, you guessed it right. 'The Pillion seat.' Indian mentality asks for a pillion on a bobber but hey there are many engineers out there who could take a challenge or two thrown at them but then again, not recommended as the RTO registers it as 'Single Seat Vehicle.' My GF is the only person who I wish this feature was available for but I still got pulsar with a back seat ;). Nonetheless, I am going to have a wonderful time with this beast. I have tried to give as much information as possible below, do let me know if you need any more information. Yes, I booked the vehicle and the delivery is going to be in the month of September to the least :(. To add to all this, Corona has taken most of our precious time away. Stay safe, stay Clean!

    Bike continuously 

    After 6 months of booking, i got my perak. The bike got an appealing look. I was attracted with its bobber style. I have bought it for daily commuting. I am the first owner of perak in j&k. Acceleration and performance wise its pretty good. O-100 in just about 8 seconds. Dual channel abs totally helps in controlling the bike when you are riding at more than 100 kmph. I am riding this bike continuously from the past 20 days and thats the pros i felt about this bike. Now talking about the cons. First thing first, the odometer position is totally way forward, while riding, the rider cannot see the down side of the odometer as its face is way forward. Next thing, suspensions are poor, if you are riding at more than 50kmph, it cannot protect you from even small potholes, you will feel super uncomfortable. At even 25kmph, you cannot run over a speed breaker, as the bike will hit the ground due to low ground clearance. Its a super hard bike with poor suspension. Next thing, the horn is very bad as compared to its look. Even activa scooter has better horn than perak. Another thing, the mileage i am getting is about 20-21 kmpl while company claims it to be 35 kmpl and thats too low. Last thing, the side stand is small and it cannot stand on off-road surface as it has a risk to fall down.Final words, its a small ride city bike, that can only be ridden on flat and clean road with no bumps at all (which is not possible on indian roads). So buy only if you are super comfortable in accepting big shocks on small pits for spending around 2.5 lacs on a jawa bobber bike.

    Caused due 

    The bike is great to look at from a distance.But once you approach the bike, You find a lot of wires, Panel gaps and body work asymmetry.The bike is extremely fun to drive in the city, While not disappointing on the highway.The seating position, Although semi-sport, Is very comfortable and not at all stressful for upto 1.5hrs of driving.The suspension was stiff when i got the bike, But got really great at damping after sometime.I never had issues with the ground clearance, Even when i took the guy off-road.I have deep scratches on the right exhaust and left stand, Caused due to leaning during a corner.The bike handles like a charm even at high speeds(if you have the balls).Although i've been tempted to remove the fuse of the abs for more bite, The fact that i've been saved multiple times because of it has prevented me from doing that.Overall the bike is pretty good, And given the fact that not everybody is going to spend 2+ lakhs on a bike with only 1 seat makes it all the more unique and special.I love my perak (bruce).

    Worst bike 

    Worst bike i ever used.I have used to bought this bike around 18 month only yesterday it\'s forth service has been done and there is a lots of issues with the build quality as well as the engine.The body parts like the cover of the chain then the mudguard holder as always the many bolt and nuts are automatically coming out or broking.Today morning i went to the market and the bike engine automatically stopped it is unable to make start around 3.30 hour has been gone till now the bike haven\'t started yet.I am facing this engine problem around 6 or 7 month earlier then also the problem is not solving.It is a huge with a bike then also i have to push this bike towards my home which is around 3 km from the market it is very difficult to handle this type of problem having a bike within 2 years not the complete 2 years.So my suggestion is don\'t take this bike or any other segment of this bike company.

    Jawa perak 

    I am owner of jawa perak unfortunately my experince was not good.Lets talk about some good and bad things about jawa perak bad thing.Engine is not refined its sound like like tractor and service center are also not good average to too low like in city 17 and highways 23.Not made for indian roads specially villages with too many breakers because of ground clearnceheating issue is also a reason i know higher cc bikes heat alot but this bike heat double than royal enfield so you have to wear a gear while driving all parts are damm to costly and no local macenic can repair your bike lets talk about some good things power delivery is just f*****g awesome just like any sports bike.Looks are damm god every single person look back and ask for brand due to low ground clearnce stable on highways and no viberations like re.Speedometer is also not good but it depends on person to person choice.

    The bike is good, it comes 

    The bike is good, It comes with a sand 20 ltr tank but actually its 16 litres, You get abs, Disc breaks, Riding comfort is there, It gives a very good feel while riding on highways.Person riding should be decent not very thin.It's well built.Engine sounds good.After servicing it always gives the feel of new bike.It's been 3 years now.If maintained it still gives a very good feel.Fuel efficiency not that much as it's royal enfield.Still you can expect about 30kmpl.It's all iron so all muscle bike.Engine is of course great.Handling is good.Overall good bike.

    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.
