Triumph Thunderbird 900 - classic motorcycles can be modern

The British motorcycle school was once legendary. Unfortunately, almost nothing remains of it. Except maybe Triumph... But this is the oldest and at the same time youngest English motorcycle brand. The company was founded in 1887 - initially it produced Bicycles. At the beginning of the 20th century, having caught the new fashion trends, the heads of the company decided to make motorcycles. The first model debuted in 1902. After that, the brand's "golden age" began, lasting until about the 1960s. And then models from Japan flooded the European markets. Motorcycles from the Land of the Rising Sun were cheaper and more diverse, which brought them to the top of success in the shortest possible time. Triumph's star set, and in 1983 the brand was declared bankrupt. But the company was bought by an eccentric British billionaire and it was revived.

Modern Triumph motorcycles are produced in different ways, but the most interesting are the classic models. In their appearance, references to the 60-80s are traced. That is why bikes are liked by those who are well over 40. The author of the channel “#Wondertechniques with Georgy Belov” will talk about the Thunderbird 900 model in two versions. From myself I would like to add something. If it seems to you that Japanese motorcycles are too expensive to maintain and repair, then Triumph is definitely not worth considering buying. This is a specific brand. It cannot boast of such reliability as the Japanese motor industry. And the prices for spare parts there will definitely be higher.
