Big Triumph cruiser nearly ready for lift-off

[sinfull]

I think the way our dollar is if the big twin was on the market today it would retail for maybe $21K

If it's over the $20K when I am ready to buy later on in the year. I will wait for a demo bike to come up or a low milaege one owner to spring up. Because people buy new bikes straight of the showroom floor when the sumps are still dry. Only to find out a week later, that it's just not them.

Or wait for the wallys to wobble and fall off at low speed, Grab it at an insurance auction, as i've done with the two triples ! Near half price cause they have a few scratches on em, lol gonna get a shit load more time i've finished lovin em !
Mmmmm Anyone fallen off a new thunderbird lately ?

[spookytooth]

afraid theres been no new thunderbirds for a few years

[huck farley]

the Tbird sports were the last of them in 2004 and only 15 were sold in NZ. I was one of the 15. Picked mine up from Hamilton Motorcycles. Traded a Speedmaster on it. The Speedmaster was anything but. The T bird sports made up for what the Speedmaster lacked. And that was just about everything.

But the big twin has me fizzing, I can't wait for someone to fall of one!!

Another spy pic.

I enjoyed the middleweight shootout article and the new kid on the block a Triumph 675 Daytona cleaned up. Beating bikes like Suzuki GSX600 Yamaha r6 and the likes. It's a good read. Recommended.

A big river with humpy bridge over it.

Apparently there is a lot of humping going on down there!

Some of it has even been interrupted by car thieves! John

Yes...its in all the papers.....

wonder what retail would be. Considering America/Speedy around 17K & Rocket around 30K, I'm picking 22 - 25K.
