With a kerb weight of 195kgs, the Thunderbird 350X is anything but light. However, once astride, the bike feels considerably nimble. Most of this feel comes from the short handlebars which offer a relaxed yet slightly upright riding posture. It also makes filtering through traffic easier, adding brownie points to the Thunderbird 350X’s city cruiser characteristics. The one-piece seat is bliss to the backside. The rider’s seat consists of the right amount of contours and cushioning, while the pillion gets a wide area too. Although the absence of a backrest ( like on the standard Thunderbird) could be a disadvantage to some, you can always swap the side grab rails for one at the dealership.
