New Thunderbird 1600

[trustme]

Boring, where is the Tiger Cub, 675 motor in off road capable chassis to take on the BMW 850 GS . Look how many GS's of all types get sold, are the other manufacturers slow learners.

Six speeds = What does its opposition have?

There's another 1600cc parallel twin?

I want a bike that can return to the three speed box. First for starting off, second for real slow corners and trickling in traffic , and top for everything else. Pity they didn't make it a side valve.

I agree, but I'm not trying to go head to head with a market leader.

I'm really impressed with where Triumph is going.

They've done a great job at bringing the company back to life.

I wish their bikes would go on a diet,(the Bonnies n cruisers), and upgrade the suspension.

Thats cos your stuck in a fookin time warp. change is good if companies dont change their designs they go broke cos there is only one old codger like you left that will buy the old style slow oil leakers. meanwhile all the other companys are selling to thousands of people.
