Also, as leaked in the previous spy images, it gets a very contemporary retro-classic design and also hosts a number of factory-level customisation options. As against the Thunderbird 350X, it gets a new rear fascia, a restyled tank and side panels. Also the front fender has been chopped shorter and the indicator/brake lamp units have been re-positioned and given a different styling. The fuel-cap has been placed in the centre and is no longer off-set. Apart from that, also new is the alloy wheel design as it gets Y-shaped spokes and the chain/sprockets, discs/calipers have switched sides.

In terms of mechanics, there is also a new 350 cc engine which has been developed keeping future norms in mind. Currently, the company has a 346 cc single cylinder 4 stroke, air-cooled fuel injection which is known to develop 19.1 PS of power at 5, 250 rpm and 28 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. There is a 5-speed constant mesh transmission.

The upcoming 350 cc engine will use a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) technology and will do away with the push-rod design on the UCE engines. Expect a higher degree of smoothness and reduced NVH levels on this engine.
