I bought my 900 thunderbird in 2003 ,still have it. I got 80,000 miles on the clock.it’s got load of power , 150 miles to the gallon before switching to reserve. I love it I can ride 400 miles ,no back ache.

Loved the guys style "hammering that deal down" like a pro! Go Grandpa

@ep9360 Год назад

Grandpa didn't hammer jack.

Triumph's triple engine is smooth as silk...how can he say it's not smooth? 70hp is really detuned as my 2001 Speedie has 120hp(undertail custom exhaust). The dealer made out like he had a real highly sought after bike when in reality the Triumph T100 is the "dog" of the Bonniville line. I would have bargained alot more for a rock bottom price. Buyer should have done his homework on Triumph.

I have the green and silver 98 thunderbird, most excellent bike! Owned it for 12 years, very reliable, powerful, not great on corners i think, not like my old 850 commando but its a keeper

@papatorr3669 2 года назад

I owned that Thunderbird model in that color. It's a five speed, and the single front disc is lacking. It is plenty powerful with strong acceleration, in part due to lower overall gearing, running 5,000 RPM's at 65 MPH. It's a great all around bike.

How can anyone give a score for reliability after just a test ride?

@TheOriginalCoda 3 года назад

As it's episode 12 and they're still doing it...

@xchalibur77 7 лет назад

Those tbird are becaming genuine classic and very hard to find.

@progste 6 лет назад

My dad had one and changed it for a bonneville -.- well, at least I still have that one.

@thomasmcginty1040 3 года назад

Definitely regret selling mine.

@xchalibur77 3 года назад

Well I beat both of you. I gave my father my shadow 750 and he sold it. There goes my present. I thought he would appreciate it. He introduced me to motorcycle world. But I guess I love bikes more.

They should have put that old man on a 1983 Honda V65 Magna so that we could watch his arms and hips get pulled out of it's sockets!

@MrWiskin 8 лет назад

Did I tell you I rode the Panthers over the Rockies? Yeah shut up, what do you think about the tank badges again or for the first time?

@j.ramone4116 6 лет назад

poor old chap

@electronicdawg 5 лет назад

After watching some of the old guys maneuvering, R-turn signal to go into the left lane then jumping back r again. I hope he don't wreak it on the way home.

@ericgeorge5483 4 года назад

I would have the Bonneville too.

@paulob.7343 8 лет назад

What is wrong with a Kawasaki W800 ?

@progste 6 лет назад

Nothing really.

@ossa60 9 лет назад

you took away the 200 the poor boy needed for his facial treatment!!!!

@harleychris100 6 лет назад

you don't know what bikes are on offer and as a kid I toured on a 250..like you need 1300cc to travel at 70 mph

@wubstepgrandma 2 года назад

Well I'm a big fat man and I can't do seventy on a 250. I can on my 650 though

@madheadmadDAZ 2 года назад

You're right buts it's nice having loads of power under your ass. Sounded a bit gay but your know what I mean

@Karlf46 6 лет назад

So it’s not just my old nan who constantly repeats everything. I know the rockies were awesome for you but I’m bored of hearing about them already... the videos only 20 odd minutes long

@aaronknight9725 3 года назад

Yeah the bike is reliable .... after a 30 minute ride.

Two commercial s on a download? Thumb down !

@Panchdara 4 года назад

What is it with presenters, sitting and leaning on bikes on their side stands???? Isn't there enough weight on the stand and now that extra weight might do some damage to the stand or the pinion pin??? DON'T LEAN OR SIT ON A BIKE WHEN THE BIKE IS ON ITS SIDE STAND.
