350 CC MACHINE BY ROYAL ENFIELD. Review on Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350

I laid hands on my TB350 on Oct 5th 2016 and have clocked 350 km so far. Still being in the running in period have not explored her potential to the fullest. Regarding the bike, yes its definitely a head turner and I having changed my handle bar to a wider one gives me a Royal superior riding stance. I did have a minor niggle of an annoying squeaking sound creeping from the front area while accelerating. This was identified to be some loose component behind the headlight dome and has been rectified at the back. The throw of my headlamp was very close by and was finding it difficult to ride in the night. Though I got the headlight dome lifted, it seems the range for upping the headlight is very minimal as confirmed by the SA. Surprised to see this on a cruiser bike. Over all pretty satisfied with the bike while my short stint with her. It seems the fuel gauge is not accurate as also mentioned by lots of other TB customers as the bars keeps fluctuating and doesn't seem to be accurate and both the meters do vibrate a lot. I found the build quality of TB to be a tad better than any other RE bikes and the vibration levels are definitely lesser compared to the Classic. Suspension is slightly to the stiffer side and not to my liking as it unsettles your riding posture the moment you fall into a pot hole or cross a speed breaker at a reasonable speed.It will not be an exaggeration to call this machine a Stallion, it looks like one, feels like one and has to be maintained like one.Most of this stallions pros include 1.Powerful engine. 2.Endurance. 3.Build quality. 4.Metal Body. 5.Angel lamps 6.Comfortable seats etc. All said and done this is a fantastic package, but wait a minute, what spoils this awesome experience is the quality of service. Honestly the service centers screw every last bit of pleasure of owning this bike, Royal Enfield should keep all their service centers in check and remember that a HAPPY CUSTOMER IS A LOYAL CUSTOMER. I have no other gripe about re except for its shitty service.Technically, this bike is a hell. There is no proper center of gravity. Rider &. Pillion rest on rear Tyre. For rider somewhat comfortable, but for pillion its the worst experience. As weight of riders rest behind, the front portion have only engine weight. Due to this, the bike take more jumps from front and front shock absorber has no tuning with rear shock absorber .For long touring I recommend this bike to everyone.
