1998 Triumph Thunderbird review from United States of America
"One of the best bikes on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
So far I only had to change the rear light bulb.
I took the bike to every scheduled inspection and did all the required oil changes. But I have trouble starting the bike in cold weather (below 32 Fahrenheit).
General comments?
This is a bike I will keep as long as possible. It is very well built and is a pleasure to look at.
I changed the high handle bar and exchanged it with the lower bar, added crush bars, fog lights and Hepco and Becker luggage cases.
The bike is very reliable as long the temperatures are above 32 Fahrenheit.
