The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 is the Thunderbird 350’s elder sibling and looks to add more cruising ease with its larger 499cc motor. Mechanicals aside, the styling and riding posture of the Thunderbird 500 is identical to its younger sibling and will make for a great long distance cruiser.

Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 Review

The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 is offered in four colour options, and acts as a flagship for the company’s Thunderbird range. While its main purpose is highway cruising, the modern suspension and chassis make it’s a more than capable motorcycle in the twisty bits as well. Also, the additional capacity over the 350, makes the Thunderbird 500 a much more relaxed bike at higher speeds.
