Got to go to a sneak preview Tuesday night of the new Thunderbird in Phoenix,Az.It actually looks alot better in person than in the pictures.Very nice looking bike.They would not start it for us,so sorry no report there.I got to sit on it.It felt very comfortable,peg location,bars,etc.It also felt very light for as heavy as it is.It feels much lighter than the Rocket III.I really like the wheels on the thing,they look high quality and lite wheight.If it runs as well as it looks they ought to sell a bunch of them.No I did not put money down,but yes they are taking orders.The speedo location in the tank I did not care for,but that can be fixed.Overall I believe they have a winner.Hopefully the economy does not kill too many sales.I heard a few of the Triumph sportbike riders and RocketIII riders commenting on how they are going to order them.I did not truely expect to hear that from the sportbike riders,so that is a positive note that they even liked the looks of it.They all actually sounded excited about the new bike.I am still paying on the one I got,so it will be at least a year if I go ahead and get one.
