Triumph’s new cruiser, the Thunderbird, will arrive in dealer showrooms sooner than expected, the company said.
Triumph said the cruisers should arrive in North American by late June, two months ahead of the initial timeline.
The Thunderbird features a 1,600cc parallel twin engine, six-speed transmission and 200mm rear tire.
Triumph said its air-freighting four prototype Thunderbirds to Daytona Bike Week for display at the Triumph Demo Truck, which will be located at Daytona International Speedway.
I have seen 3. One silver, one Blue-white, and one jet black. The jet black model is a in the two-up cruising mode with a ton of accessories, while the other two are sportier, solo models. I kind of prefer the two-up model, but I will say that it is better in person than in the photos. Triumph persons on-site who have ridden the Tbird say that it is fantastic. I am sure they wouldn't lie!  Riding position is identical to the America save the wider tank. There are going to be tons and tons of really nice accessories for this model. I would certainly enjoy riding this bike, but if I were going back into the twin market, I would get the Bonnie SE!
