Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Triumph was re-established in the early 1990s under new ownership and is once again including big-capacity vertical twins in its range.

This striking Thunderbird was bought new from Jack Lilley Motorcycles in 2010, with the vendor choosing just about every optional extra listed by Triumph. The bike is fitted with a QD screen, saddle bags, chrome crash bars, touring seat, chrome ‘sissy bar’, fog lamps, chrome front and rear running boards, as well as numerous chrome embellishments such as fork leg covers and swinging arm covers. Also included is a TomTom satellite navigation unit and a Bluetooth headset. Most importantly, the bike was fitted from new with Triumph’s official big bore performance kit taking the capacity out to 1700cc and an impressive 95lb ft torque. It was then treated to a high-quality respray in the famous Gulf race colours of Blue and Orange. Altogether the optional extras list runs to over 50 items at a cost of c.£8250, almost doubling the basic price for the bike when first supplied. Part of a small private collection of bikes and cars since new, it is only showing a credible 500 miles on the speedo and is presented in excellent condition. It comes supplied with all of the original manuals, a Triumph battery charger, an itemised list of the extras fitted and a current V5C showing the appropriate registration number of ‘TR10 BRD’. The bike was last MOT’d in June, 2021, and has been carefully stored in a private collection since but has been run recently with a new battery fitted.
