The Triumph Thunderbird 900 is a British motorcycle that was manufactured between 1995 and 2004 by Triumph Motorcycles at the Hinckley factory. Launched in 1995, the Triumph Thunderbird 900 was styled to create the impression of an air-cooled triple combustion chamber although the radiator up front shows it is clearly a liquid-cooled machine. Fed by three 36mm flat slide carburettors, the engine was lively and could cope easily with all riding styles. In 1998 a 'king and queen' seat was added as an option. The Thunderbird was produced until 2003 and the Thunderbird Sport until 2004. Upon its introduction, the Triumph Thunderbird 900 received prominent press coverage due to its use by then- highly popular actress Pamela Anderson in her film, Barb Wire. Other prominent media appearances were by Hugh Laurie in British film, Maybe Baby and, with a sidecar, in the BBC TV cookery series Two Fat Ladies.
The Triumph Thunderbird on offer was purchased by the late vendor from WRF Motorcycles in Alfreton, Derbyshire. The Triumph is in ‘good condition for its age’ and is said to have been running recently. There are 11 old MOT certificates on file with three keys and a current V5C.
