Take A Ride - Take A Holiday - Take A Thunderbird

Take A Ride - Take A Holiday - Take A Thunderbird

Date: 2014-05-23
Its distinctive, charismatic parallel twin engine and class-leading chassis can turn every journey into the trip of a lifetime. The Triumph Thunderbird LT will transport you with effortless power and style to new adventures with the easy-going, laid-back vibe of a premium classic touring cruiser.

The motive force at the heart of the new Thunderbird LT is the World's largest parallel twin motorcycle engine, as found in the existing Thunderbird Storm and based on the original Thunderbird.

Whether crossing continents or on a Sunday morning run, the LT's awesome engine potential is harnessed by a progressive throttle, highly accurate fuel mapping, cutting edge sequential fuel injectors, a positive six-speed gearbox. The result, from the top end of first gear to the bottom end of top gear, is an unrivalled ride in this class.

At 1699cc, the LT's eight-valve DOHC motor produces 94PS at 5400rpm and a whopping 151Nm of torque at a lowly 3550rpm. The enormous thrust from its pair of 'saucersized' forged pistons and uneven, long stroke 270¡ firing interval, creates a classic big twin feel, perfect for propelling you over long distances with a natural, easygoing groove.

The Thunderbird LT has a belt drive for low maintenance and long life and to match the quality of its ride, the LT's tapered trioval exhaust cans aren't just built to look good, they're especially tuned to give a rewarding, rich sound.

Contact East Coast Motorcycles for more information on this life changing motorcycle on 031 566 3024 or visit it in the flesh at 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
