Triumph Thunderbird : You know, I like the Triumph motorcycles brand, i don't know why but Triumph is very nice looking motorcycles, today let see about Triumph Thunderbird. Thunderbird at the first time come with 500cc to 650cc and parallel twin engine, it' because America rider like this class engine capacity for better performance and more power than 500cc motorcycles, The Triumph Thunderbird also called Triumph 6T, maybe 6T it's 600cc ^_^. Thunderbird is 4-stroke motorcycles and 34 bhp @6300 of max power, well I thing it's good beginner class motorycles with more than 30HP of max power.
