Is this confirmed? I am on the verge of booking one.

Is there any position change in the foot pegs in the TB X compared to the prevailing TB. I loved the new flat handle bars and was curious to know if could be fitted to my TB 350 and get the same riding stance as in the new X.

Also does anyone know whether the new seat of the TB X can be fitted to the existing TB.

No confirmation yet, although most news channel reported that a launch would happen in May / June.

Saw the Thunderbird 350X red in person and absolutely loved it. Reminds me of the Triumph Street Twin, but with a lot more presence to the design.

Sad that the red is offered only on the 350. 500 makes do with only the orange and blue colour schemes.

Aparantly it is the most popular color and has the longest waiting period. I hope the red doesn't lose its shine in the long run. I personally liked the white better. Saw one on road today.
Yet to see a blue one in person except for a small glance while passing an RE showroom in Cochin.

Considering the major part of the color scheme is just the tank, it would not be too difficult to switch the tanks and get your favourite color if you want the 500 cc.

I always wonder why RE doesn't have a low seat height model (like Harley etc) ?
The new 350x/500x would have been so great in low slung design!

Saw this in person and test drove one. These seem more like e new age commuter street bikes and they have lost the character that everyone is so fond of. The colors that are being sold seem more like candy colors. Recall LML bikes. they were available in all shades and colors.

I got an opportunity to be up-close-&-personal with 350X THUNDERBIRD.
I LOVED the machine from Head to Tail.

Some photos are identical as they were taken with & without flash.
I think it will be 2L plus OTR.

Enjoy:




















Regards.

Dude, no offence but your post is many months too late. There is no need to speculate the price as well since the bike is already out and many people including me already own one.

I am very poor with update on bikes. I realised it only when mods moved my post to this thread. Thanks Jag.

Any idea whether these bikes got ABS now, since the other RE bikes have now got them?

Not yet! The only RE bikes to have been launched so far with ABS are the Signals edition and Himalayan. But don't think it'll be too far in the future by the time the TBs get ABS.

These bikes are now available with ABS for booking. Got a call from the dealer, need to go down to the showroom to check the details and check it.(CVS Motors Bangalore)

Now launched with ABS, at an extra cost of Rs 7000/-

Friends,

I purchased a 350X with ABS. Owing to BS4 norms, the headlights are always on. This is placing a huge drain on the battery and I have been advised not to keep the ignition key on (with engine off) for more than a few minutes. As a result, the engine kill switch is wasted. Either the bike has to be idling, or the ignition key has to be turned off at every traffic signal.

I would like to add the headlight on/off switch like the other bikes have. I could see they have left space in the handle for it. Do you guys know of a good service center in Bangalore where they do these additions to the bike?

Alternately, please let me know of any recommendations to a service center (in Bangalore) that stocks all accessories (like seat cover, side luggage box, back rest, etc.) for Thunderbird?



Thanks,
Vikas.
