Question:
Then why did you book the Classic in the first place bro? Isn't that because you liked it??? Well, now u seem to be compromising urself because ur getting impatient.

apart from a few EXTRA reasons mentioned here, I feel its more of a personal opinion.
I feel u should go for the Classic as it looks Fresh and Classy. Nice tyres, I love the new MRF's on it.
Can you remove half of the TBTS's seat??? Nopes

Somehow, I feel the TBTS is not a PROPER bullet at all..It doesn't fit into the cult.

Please note: this is purely personal opinion. Opinion sure does differ from person to person.

Hi there...

Thanx for the suggestions, but am still very confused.
I have a daily run of only 15-20 kms and its not that I am switching over to the thunderbird because I m getting impatient.

Price wise both the thunderbird and the classic 350 costs more or less same. The t'bird is only cheaper by 1-2 grands.

Does the pride of the bullet gets washed down in the t'bird ?
Looks wise I like the t'bird but from the heart I want to own the classic.
Now I am confused as to whether I should follow my Heart or my Brain?

Please Help.

Don't worry bro. If you mostly wanna ride the bike in city(commuting purpose) then CL350 hands down. And if you plan to ride on highways for the most part of your commute TBTS will do it. Not that CL350 ain't good for highways but TBTS has the laid back cruiser feeling to it. All in all take a test ride and then decide.

My advice- If you are into cruiser style of riding, TBTS, cuz it takes some adjusting to in city traffic, other than that CL350. It's my personal opinion.

Hey deepak,

Man that was fast, in fact I would have to label you as the fastest Indian for getting the bike this early despite heavy bookings & a long waiting period.

Anyhow, congrats man, do share your experiences.

I also want to join the legacy of RE and chkd 2 models (didnt took test drive yet) Thunderbird & Electra (Electra because Classic 350 is not available due booking is stopped upto december 10, reasoing overbooking).

I need advice from experts about which model is good one, 2 of my friends suggested for (whot dont have bullet) TB is good but 2-3 mechanics of bulllets suggested to go for Electra.

on other side i need lower sitting arrangement as bajaj avenger & silencer of Classic 350 also small tyres of classic one. in another post i saw TB owners change thr handle bar with Electra's, in my case do i can replace it with Bajaj Avenger's handle bar.

so is it possible to have Classics's350 silencer & tyres fitted with Thunderbird & handle bar of Avenger & what will be the cost to do so.

Suggest me
