Triumph Thunderbird - Hinckley (twin): 1,600 and 1,700 Cc Thunderbirds

Hinckley (twin): 1,600 and 1,700 Cc Thunderbirds

In July 2008, Triumph announced the new Thunderbird, a 1,597 cc (97.5 cu in) liquid-cooled parallel-twin cruiser with six gears and belt drive. The Thunderbird went on sale in June 2009. For the 2009–2010 Thunderbird model, Triumph marketed an alternative chromed clutch cover accessory featuring Edward Turner's original 'paper dart' Thunderbird logo and script which harked back to the chain case covers of the later pre-unit Thunderbird as pictured. The black-finished 2011 Thunderbird Storm model with the previously optional 1,700 cc engine fitted as standard also carries the same Thunderbird 'paper dart' logo as standard embossed above the word 'Storm' on the clutch cover.
