.It's a medium-size cruiser with guts to match its style. What really counts is the machine underneath. At roughly 70 bhp, she has the grunt to do what you want on the highway (top speed 125 mph 1/4 mile 12.9 sec Engine 885cc), with lots of low-end torque for in-town riding. You will quickly become accustomed to the comfortable low-speed characteristics, but grab the throttle on the highway and she comes alive. The short wheelbase makes the Thunderbird very maneuverable, handling well in curves at all speeds, easily flicked about. At high speed, she's stable and solid underneath you, at low speeds she corners without a hint of wobble. Amazingly, most of the time you can read the mirrors. The triple is smooth and quiet, and easy to ride for distances. The bike looks great; it makes its own statement. It has enough chrome and accessories to make a Harley rider wince. The Triumph saddlebags look great but should have been made larger, for riders who have to use the things in real life. But the first thing you really notice about the bike happens whenever you stop. People come up and ask about the bike. They talk about Triumphs they used to ride. Has new Metzeler Marathon ME880 Marathons's tires with 700 miles on them (Front) 110/90 18 M/C 61H (Rear) 150/80 - B16 M/C 77H. Bike always garage kept and covered never dropped. I am seventy-one started riding when I was eleven years old.
