triumph_thunderbird_storm
339 Kgs. Large fuel tank, wide handle bar, forward set foot pegs with all-black and minimalist chrome looks, makes this powerful cruiser an attention grabber.All-black and de-chromed the Thunderbird Storm is enticing and gets noticed easily. The twin headlamps are recognizably Triumph inspired by the Rocket III but on the Storm they look distinctive.Triumph logo sits proudly on either side of the fuel tank and the word ‘Storm’ is carved along with the ‘paper dart logo’ on the chromed side cover of the gearbox housing. This is another noticeable element of the overall radical styling on the Storm. There are more details such as the elegantly designed exhaust pipes and huge fuel tank tapering down towards the seat along with the handle bar on a pullback rise and a tank mounted console are some of the attributes that can give you the impression that this may be a custom built motorcycle.
