Recently Royal Enfield launched the much awaited Thunderbird 500. The machine was the best Royal Enfield had ever produced and it was just a matter of time when they revamped the 350 too. Well to much of our anticipation, this change was made very very soon. The derMotorrad Team spotted the ThunderBird 350 in front of PlanetDSG Pune. It looked exactly like the 500cc counterpart but with a carburetor and a 350cc heart. It was surprising the company had carried out the changes without much pomp and show and many of us did not even know the new 350 was around and selling.
