FAQs
-
Can the Thunderbird 500X be a practical commuter in urban traffic, serving as a daily commuter?
13 January 2025 10:06It's not perfect but if you feel confident on the bike you can do it. The trick is to plan your routes so you avoid the worst traffic and the tight spaces. It’s actually pretty nimble once you get used to the weight.
-
What does changing a Thunderbird 500X do to its character and performance?
13 January 2025 10:06The way to go is subtle mods. Even somewhat moderate upgrades to things like a slightly louder exhaust, better tires, and possibly even upgraded brakes can really make the machine a nicer thing to ride without throwing the character of the bike much out of whack.
-
Is the Thunderbird 500X a good platform for long distance touring?
13 January 2025 10:06In India, the Thunderbird 500X is a tourer. Our road conditions are no match for it, parts are abundant, and it’s comfortable enough for long rides. If you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling, just invest in some good luggage solutions.
-
Is the nostalgia factor of the Thunderbird 500X enough in 2025?
13 January 2025 10:06It all depends on what you want. The Thunderbird 500X can be fun if you aren't fussed about spending extra time maintaining a bike and just want a cruiser. Now there are better options out there for daily commuting or long tours, but.
-
In 2025, how does the Thunderbird 500X’s highway performance measure up?
13 January 2025 10:06It may not win any races, but the Thunderbird 500X is still a respectable highway performer. The engine is torquey and good for all day cruising at 80 to 90 km/h. You won't be doing a lot of high speed overtaking, but don't expect to.
-
Is it worth modifying a Thunderbird 350X for better performance in 2025?
13 January 2025 09:56Instead of outright performance, I'd say focus on quality of life mods. There are things that can be done to make a big difference without sacrificing reliability, such as better lighting, improved ergonomics, and luggage options.
-
How comfortable is the Thunderbird 350X by 2025 compared to modern cruisers?
13 January 2025 09:56The cruisers are definitely raising the bar in modern times. Adjustable suspension and electronic ride modes make a world of difference on long rides. If I compare it to the current Thunderbird, as it feels dated.
-
Is Maintenance and Reliability a deal breaker with the Thunderbird 350X in 2025?
13 January 2025 09:56I have owned both old and new REs and there is a night and day difference in reliability. The Thunderbird needs a lot more attention and a lot more frequent fixes. It’s charming, but as a daily rider, it can be frustrating.
-
The Thunderbird 350X, is it really worth the nostalgia factor in 2025?
13 January 2025 09:56If you’re into the classic RE vibe, it’s absolutely worth it. It’s not the smoothest ride out there, but that’s part of the fun. It lacks modern bells and whistles, but the thumping engine note and head turning looks more than make up for it.
-
In 2025, how does the Thunderbird 350X fare for long distance touring?
13 January 2025 09:56I’ve done a couple of long tours on my Thunderbird and it’s been great. Yes, it's not as refined as the newer bikes, but if something were to go wrong it's easy and reliable to fix. If you don’t want to, just invest in some good aftermarket accessories.

Those who are concerned with milage the byk isn't for them trust me
I am buying the bike next month. I am wondering if I could ride the bike 160Km on the same day. I had to take the delivery from Bangalore and I put up in Mysore. I am confused as I heard that it is not advisable to ride absolutely new bike for that long distance. Please advice, if I can ride or I should get that transported to Mysore via lorry.
