The Thunderbird has been a part of the Royal Enfield stable since 2000, getting an update nearly a decade later in 2009, with the 346cc engine powering all the 350cc models. Late 2012 saw the Thunderbird 350 get a facelift, with a new fuel tank, digital instrument cluster, projector headlamp and other cosmetic enhancements, making it quite the looker. Like its Royal Enfield siblings, the Thunderbird is a cruising motorcycle, for the modern generation. Despite being discontinued, the Thunderbird can still be spotted on the roads, a testament to its success.
The Thunderbird 350 was crafted to conquer roads of all sorts, be it in the cities, or beyond. And as is the case with cruisers, they are bound to experience rough roads that challenge the bike’s capabilities, and integrity, requiring frequent maintenance and possible repair-work, before or after every trip. To safeguard yourself financially, against these expenses, while also protecting yourself against accident-related damages, you need a good bike insurance policy. While a third party bike insurance policy is mandatory as per law, the most recommended option is a comprehensive bike insurance policy for Thunderbird, to cover a wider range of risks. At HDFC ERGO, we offer a host of insurance plans to protect you financially.
Recommended by experts, your new Thunderbird should be protected with this holistic policy. It is a comprehensive bike insurance policy with a 5-year third-party liability component, and an annually renewable own damage component, ensuring you’re covered adequately, and for long.

One half of a comprehensive bike insurance policy, the own damage cover offers financial coverage against damage to your own vehicle. This could be a result of an accident, natural or manmade disaster, or even theft.

A comprehensive Thunderbird bike insurance plan includes financial coverage against damage to your own vehicle, third-party liability, and a personal accident cover. Here’s what it covers:
Accidents are unpredictable, and sometimes, unavoidable. You may be riding safely and could still be involved in an accident. Your comprehensive insurance policy will cover against damages in such cases.
Damage to your vehicle due to nature’s elements are also covered. As is damage caused by manmade calamities such as rioting or vandalism.
In case of theft, you will get compensated as per the Insured Declared Value (IDV) of the bike, ensuring it’s not a total loss.
Accidents can end up injuring the rider, and not just the bike, requiring hospitalisation and treatment. With a personal accident cover, your treatment costs are taken care of.
Injury to a third-party person or damage to their property can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses, all of which is covered by the third-party liability component of your Thunderbird bike insurance policy.
