Like we said, there are very good chances that the new Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500X and Thunderbird 350X will launch on February 22. It is being reported that many dealerships have already started taking unofficial bookings of the new models. Prices of the new bikes shouldn’t be too different from those of the regular bikes. It may be noted here that the regular Thunderbird range starts at Rs 1.57 lakh. The new models offer more in terms of features. Hence, we expect them to command a considerable price premium over the regular models. Expect the price of 350X to be roughly Rs 1.70 lakh while the new 500X could cost Rs 2.10 lakh. The motorcycles, in all probability, will be able to justify the higher price through more features and fresher looks.
