presentation of the 900 THUNDERBIRD 2002

the 900 T-Bird, which briefly disappeared from the British catalog (in 1999 to be precise), is back on the road with a new 6-speed gearbox (the same used on the Thunderbird S). Triumph's roadster range boasts a fine offering. The Thunderbird 900, with its deliciously retro charm, is a credit to its family, which includes no less than 4 other machines in the segment. There's an S version of the Thunderbird, the Legend TT, theAdventurer, and in a sportier, more characterful vein, the Speed Triple. With its low seat height, well-presented engine, beautiful chrome and sausage-style exhausts, this bike is a real dog, transporting us back to the heyday of British motorcycles. But today, mechanical worries have vanished. The 3-cylinder engine has been tuned to deliver just the right amount of low-end torque. Power may seem fair for a 900, but that's not how the T-bird is judged. Its charm is distilled without the need for hustle. Sitting cool, riding cool to enjoy the English touch. Comfort is a little disappointing, thanks to the rear shock absorber. It has too little travel. The turning radius could be improved for city escapades. The chassis copes very well with the engine's capabilities. The machine brakes smoothly and handles the road with sufficient confidence.

perfecto Model 1995

With just a few extras: 17" rear wheel, bitubo shock absorber, hardened fork, Frank's dual-system pots, small handlebars and, for the styling, a Lucas light on a shortened mudguard, you've got a real British roadster with more peach than a New Bonnie lung! Happy trails and long live triple carburettors. 01/13/2013 12:54 Rating : 4/5 Respond to perfecto

gery Model 1995

I just tightened my 1997 Tbird at 53000Kms after changing the distri chain! The chain guide broke and then clogged the oil pump (no strainer ...) on the highway!!!! I reassembled a 1995 55000kms used engine: I just cast 1 connecting rod! I'm disgusted!!! I'm a fan of Triumphs, BSAs, Nortons and other English cars, so I'm looking for 1 other reliable engine! 03/22/2012 18:22 Rating : 2/5 Respond to gery

borc Model 1995

I've owned a tbird 95 (50,000 km) for 9 years, and I've traveled with it (sensitive butts please). I love it: nice engine, especially if you let the pots out a bit, great mouth, good handling with good tires. A real tractor. There's always someone to stop in front of it..
On the other hand, overhauls (essential for reliability: pellets) are expensive, and repairs hurt on a model that's already 15 years old. 07/08/2010 11:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to borc

Sprint Cra Model 1995

Agree with Clot about the lack of kick. Impossible to start with a stroller. As far as I know, tubeless is incompatible with spokes, but I did learn something about the spinning effect induced by the presence of a single front disc. While they're at it, they could have fitted the excellent double cam of the 1969 Bonnie T120R. 12/03/2006 20:36 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Sprint Cra

jml Model 2003

for me it's my ideal bike it's very easy to ride because i loaded the handlebars (wider) and i lowered it and i have "mecatwin" pots an extra sound and i changed the rear..bike which has caratere 01/03/2006 21:02 Rating : 5/5 Respond to jml

Clot Model 1995

Nice bike, too bad it's so poorly equipped. No center stand, no passenger roll bar, no lockable fuel cap. A single disc at the front, no fork stiffener (the fork tends to twist with a single disc), no starter pedal (very practical for winter riding), they could have taken the opportunity to fit one, given that it's old-fashioned. And why not a toothed belt instead of a chain (more practical, more efficient, less maintenance, etc.) No storage space under the saddle and no possibility of fitting tubeless tires either. A real shame 01/15/2005 23:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Clot
