For sale in a no reserve auction is a 2000 Triumph Thunderbird Sport model. If you are looking at this listing, you know that the Thunderbird sport is one of the rarest of the Hinkley Triples. 900cc with 6 speeds. Classic looks, modern engine and electronics. The Sport raises the bar with higher spec suspension that is adjustable and awesome dual reverse megaphone exhausts. Triple discs stop like a sport bike! It has just less than 20K miles. I have owned this motorcycle for 3 years and have never dropped it. However, I am still more of a 'sport bike' guy than a 'cruiser/ modern vintage' guy so this bike has not been ridden much since I bought a sport bike in June. So, it's time to let her go.
