2010 Triumph Thunderbird 1600

We took this bike in on part exchange for our Kawasaki Vaquero and what a gorgeous bike it is.
A UK bike with 2 owners from new and finished in a cracking deep pearlescent green.
Full Triumph history, garaged from new and in sublime condition (check the video).
If you are looking for one of these then look no further as I doubt you’ll find one much nicer.
The very first Triumph Thunderbird before it was reborn with a 885cc triple cylinder in 1995.
By 2009 it was time for Triumph to add a rumbling, thunderous cruiser to the market; one that had much more grunt than those from the parallel twin America’s and Speedmaster’s, but more usable and attractive to a wider audience than the huge Rocket 3.
That offering would once again take the Thunderbird namesake and the Triumph Thunderbird 1600 was introducedTriumph Motorcycles are one of the very few manufacturers to continuously produce cruisers without bowing to the pressure of using a V twin engine. For that we have to give them credit as let’s face it, the lack of a V twin will certainly prevent some very traditional cruiser riders from considering a Triumph. I don’t think Triumph care too much as they continue to produce unconventional cruisers and the public continue to buy them.
The sole aim of the Triumph Thunderbird 1600 was to bridge the gap between the smaller 865cc America and the super sized 2,294cc Rocket 3.
In order to compete with the big boys like Harley Davidson in the cruiser world and target the US audience particularly, Triumph knew they needed a heavyweight cruiser that had impressive power, was rider friendly, looked the business and sounded awesome.
The best way to do that was to take the idea of the Triumph America 865cc already in existence and make it bigger, a lot bigger.
At the time of its release the Thunderbird 1600 was equipped with the largest parallel twin engine in production.
The clear signal from Triumph Motorcycles was that the British are here with the new Thunderbird and we are not only going to compete but we are going to give you such a good bike it can’t be denied.
The Thunderbird 1600 had a production run until 2016.
