It was marketed as a highway cruiser, for comfortable long distance riding. It’s been out of production for a few years now so how does it stack up for touring compared to newer options? It has a comfortable riding position and can eat up miles easily, say some riders. It does not have modern touring amenities such as cruise control or modern navigation systems, some will point out. But also the relatively small fuel tank can be a limiting factor on longer travels. But there’s also the reliability question: REs are renowned for their simplicity, but an older bike could be requiring more stops for maintenance. If you are planning to go on multi day rides or even cross country tours is the Thunderbird 350X still a viable option or are there better options available now?
