At the heart of the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 beats a pretty lively 350 cc single cylinder, 4 stroke, Twinspark, air cooled engine. The engine rewards you with a maximum power of 19.8 bhp achieved at 5250 rpm and 28Nm of torque available at its peak at 4000 rpm. The engine sends it power to the rear wheel through a 5 Speed Constant Mesh transmission which is paired with a wet, multi-plate clutch.

Despite its vintage look, the motorcycle offers a pretty good riding position thanks to its comfortable saddle and the ergonomically designed handlebar. You’ll also like its generous 20 litre tank, digital meter console, retractable foot pegs and LED tail lamps.

The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 is offered with a distinctive "black" styling which gives it a pretty aggressive character. For 2013, the motorcycle gets an improved chassis and fresh suspensions.

Quotes

Indiatoday ---- "With an overall black theme, the Thunderbird 350 comes in three distinct shades - Stone, understated matte finish and rugged texture capturing the effortless strength of the legend; Flicker, blackest of blacks which stays pure forever and is a fitting tribute to the rider's spirit; and Twilight, an inspired blue-black finish that stands for the rider who stays steady under the changing skies."

Motorbeam ---- "Power comes in through the same 346cc UCE engine which uses TwinSpark and produces 19.8 BHP of power at 5250 RPM and 28 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM. This air-cooled engine is paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox and uses a carburetor instead of fuel injection seen on the Thunderbird 500. With production of around 10,000 units per month, the company believes prospective Thunderbird customers will not see any waiting period and can purchase their cruisers off the shelf."
