The Triumph Thunderbird 900 was a naked motorcycle with a classic style and a modern engine and chassis introduced by Triumph in 1994. The bike was manufactured at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.
In addition to the standard model, the British motorcycle maker introduced three other versions. The Triumph Thunderbird Legend, Thunderbird Adventurer, and Thunderbird Sport. The Base model was manufactured until 2003, while the Sport model until 2004.
In 2001, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird, a naked machine with classic styling backed by modern technology, designed to deliver a retro appearance.
In the visual department, the 2001 motorcycle featured the same standard fittings as previous models, including a large round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.
The bike was built on a micro-alloyed high tensile steel spine frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork, a 320 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front, and an adjustable shock absorber with a 285 mm brake disc with a tow-piston caliper on the rear.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 2001 Triumph Thunderbird had installed an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 70 hp at 8,000 rpm and 71 Nm (52 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.
