Triumph Thunderbird 900

Triumph Thunderbird 900 at the sea side

Here is a photograph of a Triumph Thunderbird 900 photographed at Paignton harbour in Devon. The colourful sea side background is contrasted by the powerful cloudy grey skies and that almost compliments the maroon and silver two tone pain scheme on this bike?

This 2001 model is a lovely example of why these Hinckly build Triumph’s are still enjoying such popularity amongst Triumph enthusiasts.

This retro style ‘mouth organ’ tank badge was intended to evoke a sense of nostalgia associated with the Triumph brand.

This photograph shows my Triumph Thunderbird 900 looking very regal outside of Greenway House, near Galmpton. The cream walls of the famous building show the bikes features off quite nicely. Greenway Houses’ claim to fame is that it was at one time the home of Agatha Christie, but is now owned by the National Trust.
