Triumph Thunderbird Storm first ride

The new Triumph Thunderbird Storm is a pared-down, mean and moody version of the standard Thunderbird.

MCN's Phill West said: "Aside from predictable black paint and metal finishes plus subtly minimalistic styling, Triumph has gone the extra yard by giving the Storm more performance and a host of neat detail touches."

seriously i prefer this bike yet compared to most harleys

[mlojko7]

This kind of production quality is what got me to subscribe to MCN. Much better than the "Honda CBR600F first ride" video.

@Bashers79 What's wrong with getting help from Brembo? Brembo is a damn fine brake company.

@z06carguy 100% agree, It is not rocket science. MCN should know better.

A beautiful machine... I think I'll take one

[z06carguy]

I really wish you guys would turn the music off so we could hear the engine. That is part of what this bike is about, not "cool" music.

@DarrellShultz Erm.. you do know that triumph's come with the option of ABS and that ABS brakes are just smart disc brakes, the technology has been around for years. In usual fashion harley are behind the times and only introduced their brand of ABS in 2008 (they had to enlist the help of Brembo to do so). In fact looking at the Harley website the current 2011 model of the Fat Bob does not come ABS, just standard twin disc. I've ridden harleys and the new thunderbird, I know which one I'd trust.
