The Thunderbird 1594cc liquid-cooled parallel twin makes upwards of 100bhp, and has a maintenance-free belt final drive just like the American machines.
It has a fat 200/70-18 rear tyre with a tall 120/70-19 front to compliment the fat rear end and raked out front. Styling is similar to the Bonneville America, but has its own unique look.
The styling doesn’t seem to break any new ground but the bike puts Triumph squarely in the center of the large bore cruiser market with a parallel twin instead of the usual V-Twin configuration run by everyone else.
Triumph Thunderbird 1600.
