Thunderbird Anyone?
I went to the preview launch of the new Triumph Thunderbird at my local dealer this week. I was quite impressed with the look of the bike. Priced at $12,000 and with a 1600 engine, its aimed at the large cruiser market. I can see it doing very well against most of the Japanese cruisers, but will it take any market share away from HD?

I think its a nice bike....and with that power plant it just might take some Harley business.
Harley needs to step up and compete with the foreign manufactures with a real power plant for the Sportster.
They bombed with the 110 CI. in the BTs with an abundance of head gaskets failures that they aren't recalling.

Looks great, probably runs and rides great, but it isn't a HD.
People buy HD's because they are HD's. I know I did
