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.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm был представлен в 2010 году как более агрессивный, затемненный вариант возрожденной модели Thunderbird, которая сама была возобновлена в 2009 году, чтобы вернуть себе рынок классических круизеров. Модель Storm отличалась затемненным двигателем, темными хромированными деталями и более грозной эстетикой по сравнению со стандартной моделью Thunderbird, что очень понравилось гонщикам, предпочитающим более темный круизер в нестандартном стиле. Он оснащался параллельным двухцилиндровым двигателем Triumph объемом 1597 куб. см и отличался тем, что являлся одним из самых больших из доступных крейсеров с параллельным сдвоенным рабочим объемом и составлял прямую конкуренцию американским V-образным конкурентам.

Что следует знать покупателям

⚙️

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.

Отзыв покупателя б/у

7.5/10
Лучшее для
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.
