Launched in 2002. This was the first Royal Enfield motorcycle to come equipped with a front disc brake, making braking woes a thing of the past. It was also the first to use Digital CDI ignition and sport a production 5-speed gearbox (The Lightning A350 had it for a brief spell, but failed to make it to mass production.) This bike won the "Best Cruiser Award" from BBC Wheels. The new model of Thunderbird is launched with twin spark engine.
