Triumph 1700 Thunderbird Nightstorm 2015 - Motorcycle specifications

presentation of the 1700 Thunderbird Nightstorm 2015

With the Thunderbird, big cruiser enthusiasts get a taste of something other than the unchanging Milwaukee V-twin. The Storm version plunges into the dark side, the first step towards rebellion. Triumph has gone one step further with the Nightstorm special series.

like the Storm, it asserts its personality with menacing twin headlights, a twin-cylinder engine increased to 1699 cm3, 98 hp at just 5,200 rpm, big torque approaching 16 mkg, and even more black. From one end of the exhausts to the other, the handlebars, the brake pedal and selector plates, the mirrors - they're all plunged into the night. A new ribbed seat is fitted, lower and more comfortable. As for the fuel tank, it gets a touch of cheek: a hand-painted "Flaming" motif produces a distinctive glittery effect.
Menacing, dark and admirable, this Thunderbird Nightstorm takes you cruising between the roar and the storm.

Problème de courroie qui se tend en roulant

Philou Model 2016

Owner since 2017 of this nightstorm, I made some modifications, namely replacing the original amortos by more efficient models (not difficult). I ride about 15'000 per year with stages of 250-400km depending on the route. At first I was delighted, but for some time now I've been struggling with the drive belt, which shortens as I ride. Result: blown rear wheel bearings. Nobody seems to know much about it, except a dealer who told me he'd had to replace the bearings twice on identical models, for the same reason. In despair, I had my belt replaced at 56'oookm and a bill of 1000.00 for an identical result. pity and pity. great bike and engine, but it's impossible to ride with 27 and 14 mm keys in the saddlebag. 11/14/2020 10:40 Rating : 3/5 Respond to Philou
