The Royal Enfield Thunderbird was a cruiser style motorcycle built by Royal Enfield Motors in India, and sold as the Rumbler in export markets. Its article gives a production span of 2002 to 2020 in the lead and says the model was first introduced in 2000, when it replaced the Lightning with a 350 cc AVL lean-burn aluminium engine and a five-speed gearbox. The AVL engine, named for the Austrian engineering firm, was replaced in 2009 by a 346 cc unit construction engine, and the bike became the Thunderbird Twinspark because of its two spark plugs. In October 2012 Royal Enfield launched 350 and 500 versions with a facelift that brought front and rear disc brakes, a 20 litre teardrop tank, a split seat and a digital console, with fuel injection on the 500. A Thunderbird X with anti-lock brakes followed in 2018 and the 500 was discontinued in 2020.
