    Thunderbird dilemma

    Hello,
    I'd like some insight on a Royal Enfield thunderbird 350.
    Something popped up in a garage near my place and I'd like to know if it's worth shelling out money.
    Model: thunderbird 350
    Year :2007
    Single owner
    Mileage :40000
    The mechanic is quoting me 50k for the bike.
    The bike looks fantastic, no rusting,looks well maintained.
    I took a drive and felt it was really good. But it did heat up after the small ride, I guess that's cause of the avl engine (?)

    Please tell me your views, is it worth it? And I'm kinda worried about all the oil leakage issues I read in RE's dating before 2011.

      I own a 2010 TBTS , if the vehicle has a genuine mileage of 40k and if you can get the vehicle checked by a authorized svc . If everything seems good you can go ahead with it. At 40k you may have to change the tyres it usually last around 30-35k kms. Check if he has detailed service history else you can get it svc. Check for Oil Leakage , Electric start(i personally do not use this) , battery.
      There ain't no devil, ther'e just God when he's drunk.
