Which showroom ? I visited Brand Store today and got it converted, he said for those who booked old one its 3~4 months and for new bookings it s 6 months.

Saree guard would be as a standard fit.

With an option to remove the rear seat any time you want for luggage to tie options.

Waiting period is of 3 months, but as he spoke, In cash he would give me with in 1 month.

TB500 has only 1-2 month.

TB350 has 1.43L OTR
TB500 has 1.82L OTR

The best part is RE logo on lower tip of the Front Shock absorbers, Rear Shock absorbers and on engine.

Even on ignition there is very good Royal Enfield carved. Keys have new pattern like Key logo.

Detachable swing arm and new chaise with lower 3 point to support engine and broader front shocks.

Height almost same to older TBTS.

New mileage claimed now is less as compare to previous ones, he said.

TB350 35-38KMpl max and TB500 20-25kmpl max.

Top speed he said now is much better without any unstability.
TB350 130Kmph TB500 145+kmph. Only difference of 15kmph ROFL!!

Self start has been improve from previous + silenser is design to give more smooth and good ride.

STRICKLY RECOMMENDED not to change the silencer for this bikes, else it might effect the performance and would void the warranty..ROFL (warranty 10,000kms or 1 yr) who wants this ???

What do you mean?! For guys who have booked in Jan, they will again take 3 more months? So a total of 1 year waiting period!!! OMG, that's ridiculous!!!

eastend..actually friends booking no now is 3 (which reduced from 90 something).. but still first they said 6month then not 6 you'll get before 6 months..

There is such a HUGE difference/inconsistency in the waiting periods that dealers all over the country are giving their customers.. I don't understand this. I had booked my TBTS in August.. Got it converted to the new TBTS 350 on 11th Oct. My dealer told me I could expect delivery sometime in 2nd week of December. Whereas this dude who had booked in January is still being told by his dealer to wait another 6 odd months... Kya bole ab??

i think thunderbird500 ppl will get their deliveries by nov 1st or 2nd week near to diwali time...about 350cc i think converted customers deliveries will start around the same diwali time....fresh 350cc booking deliveries shall start by dec 2nd or 3rd week....*conditions apply-these are my assumptions and have got nothing to do with RE
p.s: im always correct with my predictions...u can rank me 9/10 in predicting these things.

Exactly parashar... It's all about dealers and not RE. I wonder why people are blaming RE for not-it's-fault.
I guess you're from Pune. right ? The one in Pune (Dhone auto) is a good dealer and knows how to keep customer relationship healthy. That's why they are offering delivery ASAP. While others try to encash more premium on cash payments resulting in late delivery to those who have booked earlier but are not paying (extra) cash.... As it happened with 200 NS's booking...

This is what I think. Reality can be something different.

Yes Rahul, I'm from Pune.. I've booked my TBTS with Dhone Auto (Market yard). With which dealer have you booked your bike and what estimated delivery date has he given you?

I too have booked with Dhone Auto @ Marketyard only. He is saying that I can expect delivery in Feb. or in Jan. if possible. Booked it in second week of Sept. and your ???

one of my friend booked a Thunderbird 500 in kolhapur, and was promised a delivery in Decemeber.

IN Ulashnagar they are giving TB500 from Dec!! He said book now and get it in Dec, but i am super confuse!!

Then please start a new thread in 'What Bike?' section....

BTW, getting yourself a TB 500 till you achive your HD 883's goal is a good option...

I too have booked TB500 from Dhone Auto Kasarwadi, near Nashik Phata. My duke on sell now. My Duke is 8500 KM old, asking price is 1,05,000 INR.

I doubt that Even if he gets a HD, there is much possibility that he might retain the RE, well thats how the legacy goes atleast mostly.

yes a good idea but the lack of top speed is what concerns me alot. I am ue to high speed on highway!! and if i buy HD or TB500 it will be for ocassional tours only!!
ROFL ...lol....This is the love towards RE i guess!!



Nope my friend, HD is HD infact legacy would be with HD not RE. RE is trying to be HD but it lacks in many fronts!!
BUt still people are loving RE same as me, the only thing puts me off his it's Tech and design!!
