Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thunderbird 2012

A Thunderbird is just as unique and independent on the motorbike market as a Speed Triple, a Rocket III or a Scrambler. And you can feel it. Through the cultivated rumble of the two parallel pistons, the powerful bite of the Nissin four-piston fixed calipers on 310 mm discs and the friendly glances of passers-by.

Optimal fit
