TRIUMPH Thunderbird 1600 (2011 - Present) Description & History: Representing Triumph’s first entry in the mainstream premium cruiser sector, the Thunderbird combines classic cruiser styling and ergonomics with performance engineering. The levels of control and precision are inspired from the ones used for the Daytona 675 and Speed Triple models.
For 2011 the Thunderbird comes with a wide range of standard and limited run special colors. Standard options include the metallic Phantom Black and two-tone Pacific Blue with Fusion White centre stripe and Aluminium Silver with Phantom Black centre stripe. Special color options include the Phantom Red Haze and Phantom Blue Haze, hand painted flamboyant schemes that change form near black to resplendent red or blue depending on the sunlight. A new graphical scheme based on the new Cranberry Red paint will also be available in 2011, alongside two variants of a Crystal White and Sapphire Blue design.
A special edition Thunderbird SE is also available and comes complete with a range of touring-orientated factory fitted accessories as standard and a unique Carnival Red color option.
