Triumph is a name that will go down in History, people a hundred years from now will be talking about these classic motorcyles, Thunderbird, Bonneville, names to invoke the `rocker' in all of us. Compared to todays `plastic rockets' the Thunderbird is slower (but is still capable of over 100mph), but that unmistakable Triumph twin sound and the roadholding as you accelerate through the bends belies their age. I toured around Scotland on mine back before the Thunderbird was a classic and give it 100% for reliability. If you have only ever ridden modern bikes the Thunderbird and the rest of the Triumph family may take a bit of getting used to (no electric start for a begining) . A major plus for these classic Triumph are all the spares you ever need are available from a wealth of suppliers the world over. Once riden never forgotten.

Advantages: Where do I start. I find that it rides like my old 250. Disadvantages: Now that I know the my bike, I find that it does not have enough ground clearance for a sport titled bike.
