Thunderbirds are really quite nice. They look like a proper motorcycle and have plenty of power. They seem just a bit topheavy as compared to an America or Speedmaster, but you get used to it easily enough.
The design was always good, but by '01, it had been refined to much better than good.
The 3 cylinder sound is something that some love and some never get used to. At least they don't have that sissy whining sound of the far east made 4's.
