Hi Guys !! I own a Magic Black Thunderbird which I bought in Nov, 2005. The first 8 months were absolutely fabulous riding on this mean machine. The ride is absolutely stable and I never got tired even after running 50-60 Km/s everytime.
The real problem started in the rainy season. The bike loses it’s grip on wet surface and it becomes unmanageable to control the bike at all. It’s got the best grip on a dry surface but it’s a nightmare running it on a wet surface.
The mileage has been excellent to the tune of 40 km/ltr. considering it’s 350 cc engine. If you run it for long distances, after some time your back would start aching as the sitting position is not upright in the new TB. The older TB has got a longer handle so the manouvering becomes comfortable.
I will recommend this bike to those who want a cruiser experience and travel a lot frequently.
It’s an absolute No-No to the users who want to run it in the city as handling becomes a pain in peak hours of traffic.
If you want to cruise on an empty road at roaring speeds, this bike is meant for you.
Overall , a style statement to run it on the roads and ofcoz one gets all the stares at the traffic signals for the beautiful looks of the bike.
ADIOS !!!!!!
