2002 Triumph Thunderbird

An evocative Triumph name straight out of the history books, the Thunderbird is heavy on retro style.

The Hinckley factory's first classically styled retro machine offers a low seat height, relaxed riding position and an engine right in tune with the laid-back looks of the Thunderbird. Delivering 69bhp the triple powerplant is a perfect match for this eye-catching roadster.

With a no-nonsense twin shock chassis to match the good looks, offering light, stable handling and good comfort, and with disc brakes front and rear, the Thunderbird is as solid a performer on the open road as it is a stylish way of getting about town.

From the 'peashooter' pipes to the duo-tone paint and classic badge on the swooping tank, the Thunderbird is definitely a retro.
