I saw one of these in the flesh today.

I want to have its babies.

Must admit its a looker for sure.

**Big Dave** · 28th January 2009, 17:05

I'm also seriously interested in one of these to replace my existing T'bird.

I like the look of the SE. Would be nice to see them come out standard with a centre stand.

2010 Triumph Thunderbird
1600cc vertical twin.

The 1995 in storage will keep it and add a newer one if it's as good as it looks.

Conversely - its the first thing I remove from a bike if it has one.

Look wise it certainly has it in spades over Trumpets biggest.Very nice indeed,certainly has "the look".If you have time any more pics of it to drool over.

Agreed. I miss the centre stand on my old bike...Id have one on a sportsbike too if I could (easily)

Undecided on the SE's cast rims. (swore I saw Matty from Ham m/cycles riding one today also).
Keen to here your view on the big twin. (why the hell can't Triumph whack some decent shocks on their new sickles

).

Is this one put together in Thailand like the rest of the Bonnie range for the Australasian market?

Had to do something to sort out the crappy Italian rims.

When I first saw those alloy wheels (17"?) I had two thoughts:
1) I hope they come in sizes such that there is a choice of modern robber, and
2) What does the smaller wheel diameter do to the already limited ground clearance?

In the fullness of time all will become clear no doubt
