Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 has won the Enthusiast Motorcycle 250cc –500cc category award for the year 2012: The Thunderbird 500 is quite a massive leap ahead in motorcycling terms for Royal Enfield than we’ve ever seen compared to its current model line-up. The bike cruises close to three-digit speeds without breaking a sweat and with the bigger 20-litre fuel tank and the kind of efficiency it returned, it will cover longer distances without having to stop for fuel. Add to that the excess of mounting options to load up your entire luggage and you get an all-rounded touring machine. And borrowing the new motor from its Classic sibling has done a world of good to the overall reliability and performance of the new Thunderbird, which makes it a very good option for those looking for an affordable cruiser in India.
