The overall experience is

3.8

The overall experience is good but the bike could have more colours.Seats are really comfortable and the positioning of handles are also perfect.It's been more than 3 years i am having this beauty and it's worth the money.Though in comparison of continental gt 650 it's mileage is slightly less.

Q. I am in so much dialama to opt between Thunderbird 350X and 500X. I have driven the bike and felt 500 has much more to give than 350 but my concern only started when I heard from some people regarding EFI (peolple have even changed back to carburetors) and fuel pump problems in 500. not to mention 500cc comes with costly spares than 350. Thunderbird is my dream bike so not able to select other vehicles eighter(Himalayan or Interceptor). So please 500 owners can u suggest me which to go for?
  • Thanks for such a detailed answer. Ur efforts are really appreciated. finally I bought myself a Thunderbird 500 X, and I am satisfied with the choice I made.
Q. I am using Classic 500 for last 4 years, now I want change to Thunderbird 500X or Interceptor 650, which is better for me?
  • Hi, being an old thunderbird user u might know everything about the engine of that beast. still if u feel u wana continue using the same then thunderbird 500X is apt. However, if u wana try another than a crusier model, den Himalayan is a best pick for all round commute. Interceptor is a much more modern big which is ment for sporty styling and speed which cannot come in handy for crusier user. I feel it's better if u go for a test drive and select the one which suits you
  • After Classic 500 - natural upgrade is Int650. Much superior product in terms of technology. Only thing which you may not comfortable with - is seating. It's slightly more aggresive. Pls take a trial & decide. But remeber - TB 500 is not being upgraded to BS 6. Decide immediately.
  • Intercepter 650.

Q. Which bike is better for city ride and occasional touring, Thunderbird 500X or Interceptor 650?
  • I have experience with TB 500X. Superb riding experience, centre of gravity is beautifully poised with TBX, great riding happiness on a cruiser mode. High torque at low RPMs ensures good ride quality in off roads.No experience with interceptor
Q. What is the difference between 500 and 500x and who is better for me I am 5'7" - Thunderbird 500?
  • I mean ur questiob is about ThunderbirdX,it is the newer version with a colourful paint hehe,and an alloy wheel,but if u are a true royal enfield lover,i migjt prefer Thunderbird without colourful paint and without slim Alloy.
  • Both are same, you can get many color options in 500x and some design tweeks
  • No difference except cosmetic changes. Solely my views

Q. No warranty on bike - Thunderbird 500X?
  • I m not sure of warranty, will have to check this. But the legendary thunderbird will not abandon you.It is the perfect cruise mode machine meant for long rides, offering high torque even at low rpm's
Q. I am so confused on buying Thunderbird 500X. I am 156cm in height and 72kg weight which bike will suit me more Classic 500 or Thunderbird 500x?
  • Since you are 5'2" go for avenger cruise 220 ABS. 500X Can be tricky for you to handle. nevertheless take a test ride and get the feel. my suggestion: avenger 220.
