It had many upgraded components - wheels, brakes, suspension, etc. - and put 82hp to the ground - a significant increase. The design was slightly modified as well, but it retained its lovely retro styling. The 900 Sport was the last 885c.c. Thunderbird motorcycle to be made ..

Bought a 2000 Thunderbird Legend in 2004, and now I have my 2010 Triumph Thunderbird parked in my garage (next to my Legend). What can I say, torque, torque and more torque. Not like the Rocket III (which I have ridden while working at a"triumph dealership), but plenty just the same. Power is instant and delivered very smoothly through the belt drive. I'm 5'7" and the bike fits perfectly. Much better than my 1991 Electraglide (no Triumphs to buy then). The Rocket is just too big and wide. The Thunderbird is comfortable and it handles like a Triumph. Plenty of ground clearance for me and 90 mph comes up so fast it takes my breath away. I didn't buy it for gas mileage, but I can't complain getting 50 mpg. Every Triumph that I ever owned got me 50 mpg so I am one happy rider. Can't wait to ride to Daytona in March.
