I have owned the new tbts 350 for 2 months and 2500 km already. I know it is early to write a review but since I have not seen anyone writing something significant, I thought I should speak up. The bike is really a joy to ride and a pride to own. I was in dilemma between the 500 or the 350 but looking at fuel prices and my tb giving me 42kmpl, I am happy with my decision. It is all you would want in a bike and more.
Beautiful design, amazing ergonomics, awesome brakes and very very comfortable ride. The service cost is about 1000 bucks max on the free service( new oil, new filters, etc) but the ride is worth it. Easy cruising at 80kmph on 3000 rpm after finishing my running in. And she just thumps away happily. Effortless.
I have heard a lot of people complaining about leeks and problems but( touch wood) I haven’t faced anything like that. I believe it depends on how you treat your bike that she treats you back in a similar way. I make sure I wash n clean her once a week, especially in the engine area and parts that may accumulate rust( chrome) . And she looks as good as new. You can email me if you want tips on bike cleaning and maintenance.
Just some advice guys. In the first 2000km keep the bike below 2500rpm throughout and do not exceed 60-65kmph on 5th gear and she will serve you well. Mine is.
Cheers
