It is in the year 2002 that Royal Enfield unvieled Thunderbird Cruiser.It was different from rest of it's bullet.This one was a cruiser.But people stood with it.For ten years, this vehicle sold well.Now they are selling a new model without sacrifising the basic look but introducing hell lot of changes.

The change is headlamp is the most visible change in the new model.Projector lamp is fitted in the head lamp.It gives a stylish look for the headlight. Dual instrument cluster has been retained in the new model.Only change is that it is more clearer and handsome.Slight change has been done to seat position.For the first time for a two wheeler, hazzard lights are incorperated in the motorcycle.Fuel tank capacity has been increased to 20 litres for longer range.

The two engine variants of thunderbird are:

1. 500 cc [27.2 bhp power @ 5250 rpm and 41.3 bhp torque @ 4000 Nm]

Estimated ex-showroom price = Rs 1,72.539

2. 350 cc 

Estimated ex-showroom price = Rs 1,35.408
