Sorry missunderstanding. This one isn't mine, just one that is my inspiration for a project bike. As much as I love the Thunderbird, I just think the T300 series lump is special and the sound from a triple quite unique. A signature sound from an engine that formed the re-birth of this brand that we are so proud. Mine hasn't got so far, but hopefully through this year it will get closer to launch.   If only I had a bigger garage  Author  Post     Xfarmer  Set Reg.

I think their design team did a nice job with this V-twin. The vs1400 is just as pretty IMO, but I don't have as nice a picture of one.

Granted, it's a small thing and if I had room (read that as money) to have my collection of 5-6 must have motorcycles (the 'want to have' list is much longer) The new Norton would still be in that first group.

And yes this is in my top two.   My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.  Author  Post     Freebird  Set Reg.
