I have a TB350 and i did close to 40k kms in 2 years. My cruising speed on a highway is from 90-100kmph, 80kmph is the sweet spot and i don't feel any vibrations till that point. Vibrations over 60kmph is a bit exaggerated. I was also there at Rider mania 2017, came all the way from hyd. 725 kms in 18 hrs, no overnight haults. TB is one of the best mid range cruisers

Like many owners of 350 and 500 has posted here thier views, Faisal I watch your reviews and they are genuine. However in this case 350/500 bikes are not the "give it the beans bike". I had been riding a honda for 10 years and when I transitioned to TB350, I too had the disease of "give it the beans" :-) RE 350 and 500 are to ridden without out putting too much on the throttle. It eventually pulls up. Its like a couch on a wheel. With 40-60 kmph constant speed, it will still beat any bike and reach destination in complete comfort. If you ride an elephant like a horse, it will get you high maintenance cost. Drive it slow and gradual speed build up, you will enjoy the experience.

Believe me I’ve done 25000 kms with this bike. The brakes are great, mirrors are great and doesn’t vibrate much, handling is the best part. It cruises upto 80-90 kmph with absolutely no vibrations, post that foot pegs vibrate hard and then the handlebar starts. FI is great, the odometer set doesn’t vibrate when you’re cruising. The projector headlamp sucks, suspension is too rigid for city, it’s a pain in the ass “literally”. Idling goes haywire and behaves like a madman when something goes wrong with air/ vacuum pipe. If FI adjustments are tweaked or something goes wrong on its own god help you coz the authorised service center guys turn helpless and are too dumb to understand your problem and just say it’s normal.

When will this company realize they need to evolve sitting with old design and not upgrading anything majorly. That speedo on the bike swings due to vibes that it might fell off someplace..., once i rode a classic 350 and @around 60kph if i wanted to steer it's like handling an elephant.. Vibes give a nice massage also after 60kph...The only thing i like in re bikes is the best seat comfort it's like a sofa for me.. No bike has provided me such comfort... Hope they listen and upgrade... If something this old and unupgraded one is selling this huge then think how much potential it'll have with a proper upgrade.. But i think it'll never happen.... Or maybe after 100 years later... 😂😂, you tried 100kph on this one faisal... OMG..! 😉

KTM has some deal with bajaj and it's completely being manufactured here, but because of that many KTM fans outside india lost confidence in KTMs (which are made in India).
