That T-brd has 92HP and 110 lbs. of torque. Pretty respectable.




Fun , yes, but who needs it unless you are trying to compensate for other short comings. My SM with a mostly stock 790 is great fun and plenty fast enough to get me in trouble.




I test rode a new leftover 2012 1600 Thunderbird last year. Strong low RPM torque, which you need because the bike is 200 pounds heavier than an America. With the weight penalty the bike didn't feel much quicker than my America with TORs and sprocket change. The 865 engine is strong in the 3000-6500 RPM range instead of down low like the 1600.

The new Thunderbird Commander looks very nice with premium seat, paint details and the 1700 motor.
