Took a ride on a Thunderbird Storm today and I can definitely tell you that it runs a whole lot better than the 1600cc Thunderbird. I was pretty impressed actually it just seems like it will keep going and going with the 6 speed transmission. I had it up to 120 and I ran out of road before it ran out of engine. I don't know that I am crazy about looking down at the 2 headlights but I am sure you could get used to it. The front brakes, I felt were extremely strong, pretty much stop on a dime. The engine had plenty of torque and ran smooth too. It still seems like it is lacking something though, not sure what it is but lacking something none the less. Would I buy one? I would have to think about it a little more, maybe if I didn't already have my TBA. I want to ride the Rocket III Roadster before I make any decisions on anything. Beautiful day to be out riding today in fact I burnt my noggin a little too, I gotta remember to start wearing something on my head.
