New 2010 Triumph Thunderbird looks lake a Harley D. with the exception of the engine. Simply put your thumb over any side view of the engine and and you have a Harley. I have totally lost interest in this new model. I hate copies this is why I didn't consider any Jap V-Twins. Now Triumph copies the HD even the fuel tank shape. Disappointed to put mildly. Will keep my America and replace the 865cc with a big bore 994cc kit before owning this 2010 counterfeit.

Buddy it seems you have cut and paste down to an art , and lot's of time to go and find every pic of the new t-bird and bitch about it, personally I don't like the pipes so I will change them other than that maybe a bigger tank badge but it is what everybody asked for more HP power , belt drive more options ... and for the record it is a 988 1/4 stroker big bore kit for the america , so get you fact's straight ,before you start bitching .

As a Harley owner I can say this bike is NOTHING like a harley. I test rode one and it Stopped, went around corners and was very quick- No Harley will do that like this bike, so I say again, this is NOTHING like a Harley.

Its for Bike Riders NOT Harley owners (who never or can't ride)

Harleys are simply "Ass Junk" and I wish I had never bought one, Peer group pressure from mates who ride them. My BAD!

@Podmanaus Amen, brutha! I am a current Harley owner and test rode a T-Bird yesterday. I won my HD in a contest and as a current Harley owner, I know that I don't want another one. The T-Bird is a big bike, but doesn't feel that way when it's out and about. I'm signing the paperwork on a 2010 this week; no disrespect to HD but no regrets either. Ride safe.

Harley Davidson boots are made in China -- that is fact.  LOL

I have one of these bikes myself & find it a great bike to ride on a trip. A bit big for around town though,thinking of getting a smaller one to run around town now * keeping this for travelling. The smaller one I have considered is either a Suzuki Intruder 250 or Hyosung 250 or similar. Can anyone out there suggest others??.

if u ask me harley (I will not capitalize harley either) doesnt mean cruiser and for all the haters on Triumphs they started building scoots b4 harley and will probably b building them long after harley goes to china and then out of business. I like Triumph "Go your own way" I had an original thunderbird and will have this one in the future

I couldn't agree more! I just got my brand-new 2010 Triumph Thunderbird and LOVE it! Just because it's a big bore twin doesn't mean it's a HD clone... that couldn't be farther from the truth. This bike is PURE TRIUMPH... mean looks, fantastic build quality, excellent reliability, great performance, and superb & sporty handling. Triumph knocked it out of the park with this bike!

Why do people nag so much about any cruiser to be a Harley clone?? Form follows function! Harleys didn't invent cruisers!!! Besides, in my book they broke whatever conventions Harley supposedly build in this category by opting for parallel twins. I'm a fan of Harleys, and yes many motorbikes do try to mimic Harley, no doubt about that . But don't berate these beauties so fast over superficial resemblance! They are a breath of fresh air in this category since quite some time.

to say a cruiser is an HD clone is the farthest thing from correct by any stretch of the imagination. triumphs are notorious for lightweight great handling motorcycles. from the amazing triples to the smaller speed master, america, or thunderbird, they can out ride any harley on the back roads. and if your referring to the rocket III, well, not many cruisers out that can beat that in a straight line. harleys are the biggest peieces of shit. yea thats my opinion, but i do work on them often.

Hey dougbm53, Triumph DIDN'T name this T'bird after the T'bird 900, they nmed it after the ORIGINAL T'bird, the 650 parrallel twin made famous in the movie; 'The Wild One'.

A cruiser is always going to look something like a Harley, because the layout is always going to be pretty much the same. Hey, if you like sitting with your heels banging your bum all the time, great, but I like to be comfortable if I'm riding for 10-12 hours and covering 1,000+km's (600+miles) in a day.

beginners bikes?? your talkin out of your arse man...

id have one of these bikes now if i could, great lookin bikes, and so what if its aimed at harley riders, maybe it would do triumph some good to take some of harleys custom, if they only sell one, its one less tosser in the harley owners group!
