Triumph T-bird Storm

The Triumph T-bird Storm has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 86 hp and weighs 330 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

트라이엄프 썬더버드 스톰은 2010년, 다시 태어난 썬더버드의 좀 더 공격적이고 블랙아웃 변종으로 출시되었으며, 클래식 크루저 시장을 탈환하기 위해 2009년에 재출시되었습니다.The Storm은 블랙아웃 엔진과 다크 크롬 부품, 그리고 표준 썬더버드와 비교했을 때 더욱 위협적인 미적 요소를 특징으로 하여 더 어두운 커스텀 스타일 크루저를 찾는 라이더들에게 어필했습니다.트라이엄프의 1597cc 패러렐 트윈 엔진으로 구동되었으며, 미국의 V-트윈 라이벌과 직접 경쟁하는 현존하는 최대 배기량 패러렐-트윈 크루저 중 하나로 유명했습니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항

⚙️

Bulletproof Parallel Twin

The 1597cc liquid-cooled parallel twin engine is widely regarded as extremely durable with proper maintenance. Many owners report 50,000+ miles with minimal issues beyond routine servicing.

🔍

Watch the Bevel Drive

The shaft drive bevel box can develop leaks over time — inspect for oil seepage around the rear drive unit before buying. Replacement parts can be costly, so a pre-purchase inspection by a Triumph specialist is strongly recommended.

💰

Strong Resale Retention

The Thunderbird Storm holds its value better than many cruiser competitors due to its limited production numbers and strong Triumph brand loyalty. Well-maintained examples rarely drop below 70% of their original asking price in the used market.

7.5/10
최적 대상
Experienced riders wanting a credible Harley alternative

"A genuinely characterful cruiser that rewards buyers who do their homework."

$6,500-$10,500 used

The Thunderbird Storm is Triumph's attempt at a proper muscle cruiser, and honestly, they largely pulled it off. That 1699cc parallel twin thumps out torque like it owes you money, and the blacked-out, aggressive styling still turns heads a decade on. It's genuinely different from the Harley crowd, which is either a selling point or a dealbreaker depending on your tribe. Handling is surprisingly competent for something this heavy — Triumph clearly remembered they build motorcycles, not furniture. On used examples, watch the final drive belt religiously — neglected ones snap without much warning. The throttle-by-wire system on later models occasionally throws gremlins, so check for fault codes before handing over cash. Service intervals are reasonable but Triumph dealer labour rates aren't cheap, so verify the history book is complete. Fuel consumption is thirsty by any measure, and that tank range will have you planning stops more than you'd like.
