Thunderbird Twinspark has arrived !



The much hyped Enfield Thunderbird twin spark has finally arrived at the show room ... After months of speculation about the release of the bike the bike can be seen standing in the main enfield showrooms in the city .. i been almost waiting for an year to lay the hands on this beast ...
finally had this chance 2day to go for a ride .n book my baby ... one of the first to do so... well technically its the same engine ... no fuel injection but is the unit construction engine which delivers the goods of an integrated gear box n clutch with the engine .. so teh main gains is the milage n less maintainance which are not usually associated with enfield bikes
other noted changes lookwise are the change in the seat... and the dual tone color of the tank has been removed ... don know how the these changes willl be taken by the cult TB riders ... the pick up is higher in this engine with a power of 20 bhp ... will be smooth as expected frm Tb ... talkin bot the trademark thump of enfield bikes i felt it did hav the thump same as the TB ... but this bikes promises to be a real deal after all the hype it creates ... well lets hope :D... note - sorry for the quality of the pics taken frm cell phone ..
