Safe travels!
Very nice looks like brand new!
nice ride! being older + a smaller guy i prefer the bonneville line + have a 19 street scram + 18 T120. i have a good dealer Hermys in port clinton. pa BUT do my own work for enjoyment + savings, Triumph Rat is a great forum with many members!
I have not ridden one of the late-model Bonnies, but I would like to. Very nice looking bikes! Thanks for the tip on the forum.
Nice looking bike!
Congrat’s! The T-Birds are beautiful. Is it the 1600 or 1700?
Thank you! Mine is a 1600.
Love it, great bike, love the parallel twin, love the look, love the brand, came close to buying one some years ago, touring version I think.
Negotiated the price on the phone, still wish I bought it, but I needed to see it and think it out. If the dealer wasnt 2 hours from my home I might have owned it.
Good Luck with it, I might be on my last bike so may never experience one but if I wasnt I would.

I did a demo ride on the T-Bird and absolutely loved it.
I wonder why Triumph discontinued these?

I think sign of the times, almost all metric big cruisers have shut down that aspect of the big cruiser business, too many games and not enough players, less interest and the USA used to be the big cruiser market for them
Looks great and clean. Congrats!
I may be wrong, but the pricing of the bikes has really gotten up there, which is a deterrent for new riders to be brought in. For example, about a month ago I was at a Harley dealer, they were adding $7k to MSRP on a Street Bob, so a bike that is about $14k MSRP, was now $21k before taxes/fees. Road Kings would be about $30k +. I love my Road King, and I love motorcycling, but I am not spending that to ride on two wheels.
I’ll put a new engine in, before buying a new bike.
bikes that you can see through.
I’m the fellow forum member that gave you the sad face reaction… but in a good way; nostalgic yearning.
In the 60s in Southern California, the Triumph motorcycle was the most sought after scooter. Sure, the Harleys’ were the road boss, but the styling of the Triumph reigned King.
BTW, that’s one majestic looking cat.
