Triumph Thunderbird

Shame they don't make these anymore. I could see myself on one.
Anyone had one ?

I have a mate who had the Thunderbird Storm ... He now rides a Forza 750

Idris Elba has one. It gets collected by Triumph Oxford in their van every year for a service and MOT

When I saw it last year at the shop. The mileage was in the hundreds

Plenty of good used ones available.

This is true

I got offered an absolute minter last summer for £5k but sadly there was no room at the inn

I had a Storm for a few years. Brilliant bike, smooth, torquey, handled very well for it's size. The engine is fantastic, oodles of torgue at the bottom then much revvier than you would think at the top. Always felt like riding a big v8. If they'd put that engine in a street bike frame it would have been brilliant. I'm currently (mainly unsuccessfully) trying to reproduce those sensations but with slightly better handling on my low rider s. I have seriously considered going back to a Thunderbird.

Just traded one in. A 2017 model Storm in dark red with H&B Engine bars, a wider pillion seat and footboards. I couldn't find one in better condition with lower miles in the UK.

I took the cat off mine, which improved the engine sound a bit. But really needed short pipes for the full experience. Otherwise a bit "sewing machine".

Loved looking at it. Wasn't a big fan of the feet first riding position, but as cruisers go it was quite quick and easy to handle.
