Question

I am 5ft 2inch  is it good for me to buy thunderbird 350?

Robert John · Accepted Answer

Well points to consider. This bike is very heavy even if you are physically strong your height would be a problem, with stop start riding in traffic I think it would a struggle for you. The best advice I can give you is to go to dealers and sit on one when off stand and see if you think you can handle it.but remember The people at any Enfield showroom want to sell bikes and they MAY not give you honest advice.

Ajith Vaji · Answer

No. dude it doesn't suit you.. ofcourse anyone can drive anybike if they really want but problem how much comfortable they will be with it ? that's the question mark .my friend is 5'6 he doesn't feel comfortable in it especially it weighs 192 kg and power delivery is not that good so probably in traffic you will be why did you choose this bike.. so if you like cruiser kind of bike avenger is the perfect cruiser than re bikes .and its so light so it will be so opt for you..or you can even try um bikes.

Krishan Chand · Answer

Riding position of Thunderbird 350 is very good and you enjoyed riding day by day. Thunderbird is superb in terms of balance and comfortable riding, I have Thunderbird 350 and interceptor 650 both but if anyone asked for better riding experience than my answer is Thunderbird only.I covered 550km in single day without tried and much excited while riding.Hight is not a issue as you mentioned but weight of this beast is may be 198kg.Overall prediction for Thunderbird 350 is a very good package.

ShamsTabrez Wajid · Answer

This is a heavy bike..for your height i would recommend chaning your wheels to front 18inch and back 15 inch..it will make a little difference of 2-3 inches lower..but again its a heavy bike, if you can handle the weight thru traffic then no issues..

Yashwantkashyap · Answer

Height doesn't matter for bike lover but if you're not pro so please don't go for it because it's weight around 190 kg hard to handle , well my height is 5.11 but I also faces a issue when my bike ran out of fuel or when I have to drag it back.

Riccky Ramesh · Answer

The height doesn't matter actually, if you love the Thunderbird then go for it without any hesitation. it's you and your bike , do not get others opinion in choosing the bike, just get which you love and enjoy...

Jerish Alan · Answer

Don't go for it. I am 5ft 6in. Even I too feel bad some times in handling.Once you start cruising it,. You will feel you are the king of roads. Never RE classic kind of bikes will give the feel.

KrutarthJoshi · Answer

Thunderbird 350 is actually for the low hieghted guys as the riding seat is lower than other thunderbird. but for 5 ft 2 inch it may get a bit difficult to ride it.

Navojit Roy · Answer

Please take a test ride is all I will advice. On any bike, when taken off the stands and ready for drive, if you can comfortably reach/touch both your feet on the ground, that is the model you should buy. Take a test ride with all the models and select the one in which you are most comfortably placed.

RohitChawla · Answer

You can consider classic for your height, as the seat is wide. Please take test ride both the bikes and choose best for yourself. Have a great buy. Enjoy.

Moorthy Raman · Answer

Yes you can drive the bike but you must to balance bike while get in and out , bcoz it’s quire heavy and little higher in height to climb up not like any other bike . Once u get on the road u r the king or queen . Make sure you hold firmly and boldly . Enjoy

Athul Lal · Answer

My friend is 5ft 3inches,and he is okay with the bike. It is heavier than the classic,and a bit demanding in rainy conditions. Since the seat is a bit low, keeping your foot down shouldn't be a problem. Try a test ride. I think you'll be fine.

Harbrinder Singh · Answer

Not recommended. Handling and keeping your both foot down will be little difficult for you, no doubts its a heavy machine and need firm foot to control on standstill. Consider Jawa 42, Jawa Classic, Bajaj Avenger, UM Commando

Abhishek T · Answer

You can ride but you won't be able to control in higer speed n weight is 4times your weight so it won't be perfect for you but still you can ride it

Pravin Balagi · Answer

According to my opinion... Ur height won't be much of a problem... The weight of the bike plays a part... If u are able to comfortably drive the bike go for it... In my opinion it's better u go for the classic!!!!

Rahul Barua · Answer

Height is not by inches but by attotude and confidence. And what about desires. If you desire to revv one bull, let it be. I hope your 5ft whatever be your strength. Feel it, want it, then go for it. Cheers

Sanket Joshi · Answer

No, the Seat is wide and you wont be comfirtable if you drive a lot in Traffic. Testdrive x or interceptor if you want to buy similar to Thunderbird

Vijai Krishnan · Answer

It's almost 195 kg if Ur legs r strong enough to balance thn u can buy , but as far as my personal advice , it's better u don't go for , but to be true Thunderbird 350N 350x is very comfortable

Mangesh Damle · Answer

I will advise to take a test ride before you make decision, if you can comfortably handle the bike while waiting at signal or between heavy traffic you can go for it height doesn't matter...
