    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.
    If you think that loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to really ride that thing could do.

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

    Love everybody

    No way. Engine not large enough.

    Thunderbird review: 2010 Triumph Thunderbird Review - Motorcycle.com

    I mentioned above that the T-bird shares some styling cues with the VTX. It makes sense after reading this interview with the designer (who previously worked with Honda...on the VTX): http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...ner-88328.html
