I really like it. I am really curious as to what Triumph's plans are for the Thunderbird as well.
The plans are not to make anymore, at least not in the 1600/1700 variant. I'm sure the name will be recycled as it's one on the oldest Triumph names, 1950. Just not in the near future.
Yep, and I have a feeling that the Speedmaster is probably going to be the only Cruiser styled motorcycle you're likely to see Triumph producing for the foreseeable future too, and primarily because I believe the decision makers at Triumph are and have been taking note of the latest and declining fortunes of The Harley-Davidson Motor Co., THE biggest producer of Cruiser style motorcycles out there.
(...and yes, even taking into account the recent relative success of Polaris' Indian brand)
I'm afraid you're correct Dwight.I'd love to see a 1200cc America but I doubt it'll happen.I think Triumph are concentrating on the "Traditional" Bonneville lines of old and of course the adventure bikes which I think are doing well for them
