2001 THUNDERBIRD

2001 ThunderbirdThe Thunderbird, which was Hinckley’s first classically styled triple, blends authentic retro styling and timeless three-cylinder character with modern engine and chassis technology.

Style is unashamedly at the heart of this model's appeal. Its two-tone

paintwork, classical tank badge and traditional "peashooter" exhaust

silencers reflect Triumph's rich heritage, as does the famous Thunderbird name itself.

The Thunderbird's 885cc, three-cylinder engine is tuned to deliver 70PS

(69bhp) along with generous torque at very low revs, providing the perfect match for the relaxed riding style encouraged by the bike's laid-back character.

Chassis design is simple yet effective, giving light, easy handling along with unshakeable stability. The upright riding position and low, broad seat aid comfort and control, while efficient front and rear disc brakes give reassuring stopping power.

Triumph's comprehensive range of accessories enables Thunderbird owners to personalize their bikes, adding further to the distinctive period look and feel.
