I just bought one a few months back and it is awesome. Doesnt matter what gear youre in when you roll on the throttle it just goes. Surprisingly nimble for such a big bike too. Great ride 10/10
Sat here waiting for delivery of my storm its a 2012 and I'm like a kid at Christmas what a fab bike wish they were producing the thunderbird again after all it must be one of triumphs best sellers around the world
@@EspressoRacer Well to clarify. I did NOT race those bikes. I meant that the Thunderbird beat them out on my short list to purchase. Rocket 3 is a beast, but why do I need an F-18 in my garage? The R18 has the same power and torque numbers but is over 50 pounds lighter, shorter, and more nimble.
Nice sounding exhaust. I actually think pipes are deeper and louder. I've a cat removal, and a set of BC Predator Pro's made for a 2018 Thruxton with adjustment welding to fit. Awesome and a bit upset for more ground clearance.
Yup Ill give it to my Thunderbird, although I ride an LT model and mine is a bit heavier. But it will accelerate and pull hard straight to 110 and thats where I chickened out and let go of the throttle. But still selling it its just to heavy for me anymore
Thanks! I use a Zoom H1N recorder and place it close to the exhaust (hidden from wind and adjust the settings accordingly to the db/sound). Hope this helps and thanks again for watching! I plan on doing a video dedicated to my set up :)
Yeah this helps a lot, thanks. Because I also have a H1N, but didn't find a good spot fot it yet. I am looking forward to your video. Would be cool if you could give some tips regarding the correct placement and also how to find the correct input gain, when you will do this video 👍
@@EspressoRacer Hey ER, great vid and sound. Except that tinny rattle squeak sound. Prob near the sissy bar/rack, loved the sound tho. Is it comparable or just a bit better than a Harley?
@@colinm1325 Yeah! That buzzy sound I noticed when editing. I would compare it right with a Harley. I only rode it this one time, but felt just like the Harleys I've ridden.
