== Overview ==
Triumph Thunderbird Storm















New for 2011, meet the Thunderbirds
punky cousin. Dechromed. Stripped down. More attitude than before. Distinctive
twin headlights. Straight bars. Any colour you like, as long as its black. This
is the Thunderbird Storm, the same great chassis as the award-winning
Thunderbird, with more power as standard and a harder edged and more distinctive
look.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm
New for 2011 is a power cruiser for riders who expect a harder-edge to their
ride:
the Triumph Thunderbird Storm.

Powered by a big bore, 1700cc, version of Triumph's acclaimed T-16 parallel twin
engine, the
Thunderbird Storm's massive 107mm pistons pump out a muscular 98PS, with a
meaty 156Nm
of torque at just 2950rpm.

The Thunderbird Storm utilises the chassis of Triumph's award-winning
Thunderbird, a cruiser
renowned for its outstanding poise and precision, but is wrapped up in a pared
down, punked up look.

Triumph's iconic twin headlights, made famous on the Rocket III and Speed Triple
models, and
drag bars perfectly fit this street rod's aggressive nature and are
complemented by the deep metallic

Phantom Black or dark Matt Black paint options, and the matching blacked out
engine cases.





The low 700mm seat height provides a sumptuous laid back riding, while handling
will provide a
pleasant surprise to cruiser and non-cruiser riders alike. Triumph is renowned
for its ability to make
fine handling motorcycles and the Thunderbird Storm provides no exception. With
47mm forks up
front and five-way adjustable twin shocks at the rear, the Triumph delivers a
compliant and accurate
ride in all conditions, while well appointed twin 310mm floating discs up front
are grabbed by powerful
four-piston brakes for progressive stopping power, with optional ABS for
increased rider security.

Sporting Metezeler Marathon tyres, developed especially for the Thunderbird
range, adorn five-spoke
cast alloy wheels and inspire confidence while cornering.
And while the look may be
minimalist, the Thunderbird Storm's specification sheet certainly isn't.

This power cruiser oozes quality, from the premium components to the neat
attention to detail and
a distinctive new Triumph script on the tank, this is a machine for the
discerning rider looking for
a distinctive alternative to the mainstream offerings.


The tank mounted speedo includes a comprehensive on-board computer which
includes a clock,
two trip meters and fuel gauge, in addition to a small and stylish tachometer. A
range of almost
100 accessories are available for the Thunderbird Storm, giving owners the
chance to personalise
their bikes to meet their own needs and tastes.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm Features and Benefits

comes highly specified as standard.

The edgy, stripped down, styling is complemented perfectly by the iconic twin
headlights, made famous on Triumphs legendary Rocket III and Speed Triple

1700cc parallel-twin at its heart the Thunderbird Storm is a power cruiser that
packs a mighty punch. The tank mounted speedo includes a small built in tacho
and on-board computer which includes clock, two trip meters and a fuel gauge.

option for the Thunderbird Storm, offering extra security and safety to the
rider and passenger.
