Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer. The entire British bike industry collapsed in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership, but after a few years of legal wrangling, British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his “new” Triumph motorcycle company restarting bike production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s most desirable and best-selling motorcycle brands and have cleverly revived some of the classic model names from the 1950s. The 900cc Thunderbird triple was launched to break into the Custom/Cruiser market, offering a comfier and more laid-back approach.
Presenting as very original, this Thunderbird has been part of an enthusiast's private collection since 2011. The classic 1960s style Metallic Green and Cream paint scheme together with the shape of the silencers, give it a very traditional Triumph look but with more up-to-date performance. Used regularly by the vendor for touring in the UK and Europe, it has been run recently and is offered with a rare genuine Triumph alloy rear carrier. Already nearly 30 years old, it is still a very usable bike and should be an appreciating classic, supplied with 16 old MOTs, a Haynes manual and a current V5C.
