Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm little bit confused between Thunderbird 350X and RE Classic 350 signals for daily running not for long drives?
  • I had driven both the bikes and believe me both bikes are totally different for example the sitting postures , maintenance cost etc, as your daily running is on average basis my personal choice is to go with thunderbird 350x although i myself is driving re classic but in traffic sometimes i feel difficult to control and again there is some tappet noise in re classic which i haven't observed in Thunderbird
  • I own a classic 350 . I would suggest to go with Thunderbird , if those are the only two option , classic electric wiring and all is very shabby and more prone to stop functioning. I would stongly suggest you to atlest take test drive of other bikes too
  • Signals is the best in my point of view...but don't take my words....take test ride of both the bikes and decide the bike which feels comfortable and convenient to you...

Q. Please suggest Classic 350 signals or Thunderbird 350X?
  • See i ride 350 Classic edition and am really satisfy with it. Storm rider is also a good edition by Royal Enfield which gives rich looks. Yes this bikes do not have tubeless but the Tyre quality is awesome i ride this bike like all the way on road as well as off road they are quite good enough.If ur converting it to tubeless u have to install Alloys. This bike do not have company's alloys so have to buy after market which again quality is not that good. Price for bike you can go through the zigwheels app or can visit showroom.
  • I dont like these new engine now becomes like ordinary bike only plus is looks... u need only style go for 350X or you need RE DNA beat, performance and life go for used before 2016 in any model new engine is such a junk
  • I am using RE classic 350 signal edition. It is best. If you have more than 20km ride per day than thunder bird is goodthunderbird 350X is best

Q. Which one is comfortable and gives premium looks Royal Enfield Classic 350 OR Thunderbird 350 X?
  • For premium looks, go for Classic 350 but for comfortable ride I would suggest you Thunderbird 350 X. I am not saying that classic 350 is not comfortable ( rider seat is comfortable but pillion seat is very bad in classic 350) but 350 X is more comfortable for both pillion and rider. Also, looks is a subjective matter.
  • In a year back the normal Thunderbird are modified by third party customs. So only the royal Enfield has decided and they launched the modified model
  • Depends...but bullet is either standard or classic..!!

    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.
