Anyone got one? Any feedback on them etc? Have been looking at them for a while as a second bike, late model 2003 or so. They seem to command decent money. Any feedback welcome

Hi Jazbee
I have a T-bird (non sport) but its a similar bike but with a more laid back ride position, one major improvement is twin rather than single front disc the brakes on mine need a bit of forward planning.
I have had no problems and the engine is a beauty with loads of torque and a noise like nothing else, it sounds a bit subaru impreza.

Saw your ad M-D, tis a nice one you've got and a decent price, but I prefer the Sport riding position, megaphones and 82bhp etc. Same name, shared parts and engine, but a diffferent bike in many ways I think?
Good luck with the sale, should get some interest on here I think but also try ebay as they are selling well and at high prices just now. I've been tracking TBirds for a while

The TBS is one of the few Triumphs I've yet to own but I will no doubt have one eventually 
I'm currently running a MK1 Speed Triple and a later 1050. TBS's hold their value like MK1's and in some cases are going up in value. For more information on them try looking at www.t595.net quite a few lads on the forum have them and they all love em

My 1st post after joining this forum, and I'm talking Triumphs
It is my 1998 Thunderbird Sport for sale. I am only selling it as I have just purchased and collect next weekend a mint 2005 1200GS, non-ABS, and there is insufficient room in my garage to house the BMW, T/Bird Sport, never to be sold Triumph Thruxton and Track only Honda Firestorm.
The earlier T/Bird Sport like mine has stacked exhausts on the right hand side and alloy wire wheels. The later version has exhausts on both sides and chrome wheels. Other than that, the original & later bikes are basically the same.
Here is my T/Bird Sport
Stock ugly rear light replaced with this neat Lucas Retro
And my much modified 2006 Thruxton (it's not for sale so don't ask LOL)

Had one a couple of years ago. Great handling, comfort and brakes. Got shot of it 'cos it was rusting away in front of my eyes. This may have been a one off tho' as I haven't heard of anyone else with the same problem.
And my much modified 2006 Thruxton (it's not for sale so don't ask LOL)
Never really lusted after Triumphs, but these two really hit the spot with me

Sorry John, it was sold yesterday within 12 hours of listing it on the T595 forum. The new owner collects it tomorrow.
