The Thunderbird had originally been introduced in pre unit form with a sprung hub or rigid frame during 1950 and had rapidly earned an enviable reputation as a long distance touring mount capable of high average speeds. For 1955 it adopted the swinging arm frame first seen the previous year on the newly introduced Tiger 110. The next significant revision came in 1963 when the Thunderbird, together with the Trophy and Bonneville adopted unit construction for the engine and gearbox. In this form the Thunderbird was offered with the distinctive headlamp Nacelle and attractive partial enclosure, commonly referred to as the "skirt" that had replaced the full bathtub enclosure which had afflicted the big touring twins from 1960. The models last year of production, 1966, saw the machine stripped of the "skirt" completely but otherwise unchanged.
