Re: Thunder bird question. Dealer says no waiting list.

Topic Approved.

Buddy, I'm of the opinion that you should make your motorcycling "needs" more clear. Platina is good for heavy commutes, in terms of the good mileage it offers.
Thunderbird is good for tours, luggage pulling capacity, torque, comfort, etc. but its not that good at mileage.

If you clarify as to how will you use the motorcycle, maybe we can suggest a more relevant motorcycle?


But anyways, if you're convinced about Thunderbird only, then don't worry much about those scratches. Most Royal Enfields had some minor niggles from showroom itself, the last time I checked. Sometimes, the handle is bent and at other times, the front mudguard is scratched, or something else at other times. So, no big deal as its nothing associated with a vital component, like engine or so.

Yes, the 500cc version is faster and torquier than 350cc version so it may accelerate better. More cc= More performance, you see.

Let me warn you that Enfields do require slightly higher maintenance. So, be aware of that before you purchase it. Best of Luck.
