1998 Triumph Thunderbird review from United States of America
"Definitely a classic"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
One of the best bikes ever. I got the TBS to have a bike to accommodate my wife. I came across this bike while just browsing and immediately fell in love. With the solo seat it looks like a cafe racer, or I put on the windshield and backrest and cruise with the wife.
Seat comfort is not the greatest, but I don't know if that's the bike or just me after an accident on another bike.
Power is decent, and the brakes and suspension are excellent!
