My original intent for this thread was not to bash the T-Bird. I wanted to simply say that I am tired of people saying that they are trading-up to, graduating to or upgrading to the T-Bird, like our bikes are some little training bike. No, I dont care for the new T-Bird, but a lot of people do, that is good for Triumph, but not for me. If someone does go from a Speedy or America to a Thundrbird, it a step side-ways (with a bigger motor) not up. It is something completely different.



My intent wasn't to bash it either just my impression of it, some of the things I don't like about it are the same things I don't like about the new SM. If people like the Tbird then fine but I don't feel it is a step up as in saying my bike is inferior. I don't think that is the case, my bike has done anything I have asked it to and never let me down. I feel no need for larger displacement and like the styling of my bike far more than any other. My bike is right for me, if it isn't right for the next person that doesn't make the bike they choose a step up any more than mine is a step up from what they like.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
