Triumph Thunderbird description
The Thunderbird Sport promises a great deal with its classic flat track styling emphasised by its striking colour options and finished to perfection with its pair of reverse cone silencers stacked one above the other on the right-hand side. It lives up to that promise thanks to a chassis which has been described by many testers as the best handling of a Hinckley Triumph aside from the supersport T500 series. Compared with the Thunderbird from which the Sport is derived, the suspension has a longer travel, the wheels front and rear are a sportier 17 inch diameter (compared with 18 and 16 inches front and rear) and the front brake is uprated to twin disc specification from single disc. In addition, to help riders take advantage of the enhanced ability of the cycle parts, the engine is upgraded over the Thunderbird's to produce 83PS (82bhp) and 76Nm (56lb.ft) compared with 70PS (69bhp) and 72Nm (53lb.ft).
KEY FEATURES Engine: Proven 885 liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine with DOHC, 12 valves, modified from the Thunderbird. Low maintenance bucket and shim valve train.

Digital electronic ignition for precise combustion control. Smooth shifting 6-speed transmission to maximize engine performance. Stainless steel exhaust headers with bright chrome finish for durability and good looks.

50th Anniversary Of The Great Escape To Be Celebrated With Electric Motorcycle
Wed, 26 Jun 2013July 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Steve McQueen film, “The Great Escape,” and to commemorate the golden anniversary of McQueen’s escape attempt from German forces during WWII, McQueen Motorcycle will unveil a special electric motorcycle, the Xscape. The Xscape is scheduled to be McQueen Motorcycle’s first production motorcycle, with cues to incorporate today’s technology and integrate “the history and design of tradition.” Details are scarce at this point, but considering McQueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy in the scene, it would be reasonable to expect similar styling. In fact, looking closely at the photo above will reveal wire wheels, most likely a nod to the vintage Triumph.
