2011 Thunderbird Storm
New for 2011 is a power cruiser for riders who expect a harder-edge from their Triumph ride: the Triumph Thunderbird Storm motorcycle.
The Thunderbird Storm utilities the same motorcycle chassis as the award-winning Triumph Thunderbird, a cruiser bike renowned for its poise and precision handling, but is wrapped up in a pared down, punked-up look.
Triumph is renowned for its ability to make fine handling motorcycles and the 2011 Thunderbird Storm provides no exception.
With 47mm forks up front and five-way adjustable twin shocks at the rear, the Triumph delivers a compliant and accurate ride in all conditions, while well appointed twin 310 mm floating discs up front are grabbed by powerful four-piston brakes for progressive stopping power, with optional ABS for increased motorcycle rider security.
Triumph revealed a new addition to its cruiser line at the 2010 INTERMOT show with its Thunderbird Storm. Sourcing a bored out version of the Parallel Twin powering the standard Thunderbird, the Storm also features new styling.
The Storm’s engine displaces 1700cc. We sampled the 1700cc-version of the Thunderbird during the International press launch in 2009 (2010 Triumph Thunderbird First Ride).
