Triumph Thunderbird 2009

Triumph Thunderbird 2009

The Triumph's overall appearance is somewhere between Harley and the Japanese. The overall design and image of the brand is a little more appealing than the bikes from Japan. But it can't compete with the appearance of a V-Rod Muscle, for example. But it is also about 6,000 euros cheaper than the V-Rod. So there is still a lot of budget left for accessories to catch up in front of the ice cream parlour.

Sophisticated sound

good workmanship

stable chassis

powerful engine.

Very high total weight
