  • Need help deciding between D390, Thunderbird 500 and forthcoming P375

    Hello xBhpians,

    I have already booked a Thunderbird 500, but lately have my mind wavering towards the D390.

    The reasons for Thunderbird are:
    1. Cruising capabilities
    2. Comfort
    3. The RE experience (actually both a pro and a con)
    4. Road presence

    The reasons for D390 are:
    1. Super sporty bike
    2. Best performance to price ratio
    3. Have been riding a cruiser for past 4 years, a change maybe now

    Though I don't like the orange chassis, but something I can live with. D390 is more of a youth bike with loud graphics where as Thunderbird seems more subtle.

    The reason I put P375 there is just because it may have slightly toned down features. Though the Bajaj reliability is an issue.

    Other info:
    1. Budget: Under 2 lacs
    2. Age: 22
    3. Height: 5'10
    4. Weight: 60
    5. Intended usage: Commuting, highway runs, weekend riding
    6. Fuel Efficiency: Not an issue
    7. City/Highway usage: 50/50
    8. Approximate Monthly running: 500-600 kms
    9. City: Pune

    Thanks!

      I'd suggest Duke 390. Have you seen this review yet?

        Yup I've seen that review, quite impressive. It had a major role in getting me confused!
        Their Thunderbird review is equally good

          Moderators can delete this post. I'll be taking delivery of my Thunderbird in next few days, don't think I'll change my mind now.
