AMERICA

AMERICA. With a British twist.
Defi nitive cruiser styling and distinctive
design. Sit low, settle into the low-scooped
seat, feet forward. Grab one of the bars
and with the other hand hit the starter
button. The traditional British torquey,
air-cooled 865cc parallel twin clears its
throat and rumbles into life. That 270°
crank says it all. No place to hide now.
They’re all looking at you. Get real,
they’re looking at the bike. Ok, ok, some
are admiring themselves in the chrome:
there’s plenty to go round. Chromed
single headlamp, chromed engine covers,
all that chromed detailing. Shrouded
forks with polished lowers, machined cast
wheels, twin reverse cone pipes.
America the bold. America the beautiful.

A L L - N E W T H U N D E R B I R D.
A rider’s cruiser. Typically assured Triumph
handling. A rigorously engineered chassis.
Finely tuned suspension. Supreme control
for all kinds of riding. A low centre of
gravity for perfect balance at all speeds.
Open the throttle. The all-new parallel twin
1600cc/98 cubic-inch water cooled engine
effortlessly heaps immense torque down into
the road. Even at low revs. In all gears.
Savour the exhaust note. Consummate
acoustic artistry to tune out the treble, turn
up the bass and create the Thunderbird’s
unique freedom call.

THUNDERBIRD

THUNDERBIRD ALUMINIUM SILVER WITH ACCESSORIES

The meticulously considered all-new Thunderbird. In every aspect of its instrumentation
and detailing. The tank hosts a large speedo, integrated tacho, two trip meters and
fuel gauge, set in a chromed nacelle. Its generous 22 litre capacity affords you an
extended cruising range - the perfect opportunity to admire the cast chromed Triumph
badges and Thunderbird logo that adorn it. The finely calibrated suspension system
is a revelation eating up mile after mile of tarmac with the comfort and handling you
demand. And for that ultimate control, there is the progressive smoothness of dual front
discs, delivering that special feedback and responsiveness.

THUNDERBIRD JET BLACK

handlebars for a more relaxed riding
position. Hand polished triple chromed
wheels, triple plated chrome fork legs,

ROCKET III ROADSTER. A masterpiece. A tour
de force. Inspired. The world’s largest production motorcycle
engine. It’s awe-inspiring. A new, revised, more focused
riding position. Amazing acceleration. Increased torque.
Delivered via shaft drive for controllable power off the line
and through the gears. It handles like a bike half its size.
Real, useable performance. The ‘easy’ rider. No unnerving
surprise. A bike for the real world. Sports bike derived
brakes: twin front discs with Nissin 4-piston calipers,
a Brembo rear caliper and, of course, braided hoses all
round. A massive 240 section rear tyre. Long, chromed
twin exhaust pipes. It looks the business. It is the business.
