Q. Which is good to buy between Himalayan ABS or Thunderbird 500 ABS I prefer the Himalayan for its ability to accelerate much better than most enfields and I prefer the Tb 500 for its sheer driving comfort and much less vibrations than most enfields.
  • It depends for what purpose you want to have a bike. Surely Himalayan is the bike with less vibrations from Royal Enfield house. Better go with Himalayan if you like adventure riding and Off roading.
  • Tb 500 driving comfort I dont thinks so. it vibrates. alot. take a test drive if both. I would suggest u for the himalayan
  • Himalayan is more comfortable..and trust me it has least vibration

    Mileage 35kmpl

    Though with a cruise bike. It gave me mileage 35kmpl in 2016. My Thunderbird tour mustang in 2018, was tougher than the long tour which was a lifetime experience. 2nd tour was another excellent experience. I did all these tours without a puncture which is one of the amazing experiences. I really had an excellent time, but today he's departing from me forever. Thank you RE Thunderbird 500 my macho.

  • Engine performance

    Driving this 500cc bike was fun.Engine performance was great with mileage of 30kmpl.Seat was not comfortable for long rides.Maintenance of enfield bikes are high.Specially the fuel pump will stop working after 5-7 years.Replacement from re service centre also does not guarantee a long running fuel pump.Rust on body parts is a major issue in re.Overall good to ride but high on maintenance.

    Latest technology

    It is a great highway cruiser but a pain when driving in the city. It has a powerful 500cc engine which is good. But the vibrations, lack of latest technology are some negatives. Overall its a good bike if you like cruisers and especially the RE bikes with a thump then this one is definitely for you. if not then dont buy it,

  • Reliable bike

    Over all its strong and reliable bike, Only most important thing you have to care services on time and engine oil.I love my bike.I am using from since 2013 and it's still very best pickup, Engine and best thing is this you can drive hundreds of kilometres without any hustle.

    Service costs

    Clutch gets tight every ride.2nd gear pick up is not so good.Very comfortable.Vibrations are enjoyable.Service costs so much.Very disappointed with the service.Takes time to start.And if we leave it idol for 4 months, It never starts.Sound is awesome.
