Triumph Thunderbird 1600

Cool looking bike. Finally a new bike with a normal looking exhaust.

No specs yet, supposed to be hitting dealers sometime next year.

Wow, I think that's about twice the displacement of the current parallel twin. If that has an old school Triumph firing order (360 degree crank) that thing is gonna be a shaker...

Nice looking bike.

Needs a bigger headlight or some chrome to fill the space behind it though.

That's a big parallel twin! Nice looking bike. In the first pic it looks like it borrowed some styling cues from the VTX.

No way. Engine not large enough.
