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.

    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.

    Gixxer Power, Street Agility. 

    My Suzuki Gixxer 250ride is More distant than Clearly a means of mobility. It's veritably important and has uncorked Gixxer interpretation. This sportbike isn't exclusively for exchanging. The Gixxer series is famed for its forcefulness and capacity to complete tasks with a touch of Power. The Gixxer 250's important Design and effective interpretation make everyride a proclamation of sportbike distinction. It's not Clearly a bike. It embodies the rider's want for a roVehiclet everydayride, icing that every twist of the throttle produces the interpretation and faculty for which the Gixxer 250 is famed.

    Smooth power 

    The Suzuki Gixxer 250 is a fantastic option and the style is really appealing and comes with a powerful braking system and quite wide tyres. We can ride this bike stress free for the entire day and provides a smooth power delivery system and an elegant engine. However, there is a little windscreen and the back seat is uncomfortable but for many folks, this bike is an excellent option. This bike comes with a friendly riding position and an aggressive cornering style and their engine provides performance and fuel efficiency in this market and has a tonne of modern features.

    My Experience 

    Hi, guys I personally own a Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and I am very much glad. I was having choices like RR 310 and SF when I was in the thought of a bike. Ease of acceptability and comfort in the sense of both rider and pillion made me take this machine and up to now this machine never disappointed me. As of my experience cruising speed is around 90-120kmph and I have clocked a max speed of 153kmph. Good torque delivery gives a nice experience at a lower speed. Handling is good and power delivery is linear which makes this bike good for beginners also. Heat management is absolutely good, Thanks to socs, Patented technology used by Suzuki over this bike which reduces bike weight also by the absence of a radiator. Overall this machine is a good sports tourer in this segment. Real worth for what you pay. Braking bite is good. And never let you compromise with any bike under the 250 segments. Mileage is around 35-38kmpl which is top in this segment. Pickup is good in the first three gears and 4, 5, and 6 are for cruising. Maintaining the correct gear at the correct speed is important. The ride is good in the 7000-8000 rpm range, with No vibration at all. The tank range is also good making this one a perfect choice for those who are in need of a sports tourer. Talking about service, Service cost is not so high and maintenance cost is also less. All you have to maintain the chain well. All over this is a Japanese-made one from the most trusted brand "Suzuki" so you will get to know the refinement and built quality, however. So in a conclusion, if you are in a search of sports tourer in the quarter litter segment this one will be a perfect choice.
