They’ve even managed to keep the mirrors low without sacrificing vision around your arms into the quickly diminishing traffic behind you. You sit with your legs wide around the fat tank and your hands down low on the slightly bent beach bars.Īhead, all you see is the blurring road and white line. Neutral is easy to find and the gears lock into place without much mechanical noise to drown out the macho purr of the megaphone style exhausts. Thankfully the gearbox has become a little slicker over the years since I first rode a Thunderbird. It’s addictive in its own way and you have to use the gears just a little more than you normally would to avoid a slight lag around 2000-2500rpm. There isn’t the low-down grunt you expect from a big cruiser, but a surge of 156Nm of torque from 3000 revs through to the red line. I love its characteristic broad sweep of midrange torque and this is no different. While the thumping vibe of a big V-twin is addictive, the parallel twin has its own appeal. Unlike most cruisers, it’s not powered by a V-twin but by a parallel twin which Triumph prefers. Thunderbird hit the streets in 2009 and two years later they unleashed the Storm which instantly became a hit, proving that power is king. I stomped on them a couple of times and the ABS comes on quickly and effectively. Luckily the brakes are also really effective, especially the rear brake, perhaps the most powerful I’ve experienced. Leaving Oliver’s Motorcycles in Moorooka, I let the clutch out into a slim gap in the afternoon commuter traffic and the bike lunged at the space. It’s basically a liquid-cooled Thunderbird 1600cc bored out to 1700cc with 107mm pistons pumping out to 73kW (98ps).

The VIN# is SMTB03WFODJ565078 and miles are 3,325. There have been two services at Hansen’s, one at 675 miles for an oil change and the other for the same service at 3,032, just less than 300 miles ago. The buyer of the motorcycle opted for an extended 72 month Service Contract which is assumable for a reasonable fee of $50 and his signature. The speedometer is mounted on the tank and in this case, showing 3,325 miles from new. The Storm was based on the entry level Thunderbird but with flat matte paint and the absence of much chrome. With the front end geometry, the bike is extremely stable at Highway speeds with the added bonus of ABS Brakes on hand in the event of road panic. The Vertical Twin 1700cc engine is almost stall proof with so much bottom end torque but the clutch pull is very light and the bike easy to manage at parking lot speeds. Hansen’s BMW sold the bike brand new in 2013 to a rider returning to the road looking for a do it all sort of ride. I imagined that it would be immediately uncomfortable but it was quite the opposite, a very natural sitting position and reach to the bars when I rode the bike briefly. I hate to be cheesy, but I have to say:”Look what we got in, a 2013 Triumph Thunderbird Storm!” We have yet to see one of these physically imposing motorcycles in the flesh so to speak, but still it was quite a visual shock to witness the width of the tank and handle bars up close.
