whats up everybody, my name is Jeff Azcona and I work at a Royal Enfield dealer in Fort Worth Texas. I just came across a beautiful 2012 Thunderbird Storm with only 420 miles on it (basically brand new). We try to focus primarly on Royal Enfields so we are selling the Thunderbird for super cheap. If anybody needs a new Triumph call Jeff at 214-629-4011. My asking price is $11,400 but I will always entertain any offers.

If I had the cash we've dumped into the remodel project back I'd be on a plane to DFW for a fly-n-ride.

Get it bought -it's for nothing. We would pay around (equiv) $17500 for that over here.

what pipes are those? they look stock, but they don't at the same time. The ends look a little different and ther appears to be a gap just under the heat shield

Believe it or not but they are stock. I love how these pipes look on the bike. I keep finding excuses to run down the street. I can send you a rear pic of the bike if you would like

Mini bike???? Even with the seat foam chop, she's still around 33" tall at the saddle. And her power-to-weight ratio (both hp and torque) are equal to if not superior to the 'Bird. (I hear cries of "HERETIC!!!!" emanating across the webbernet )

You got the "play toy" right... all I do is play when I ride the Kitty.

Seriously... I've already sold 1 bike (the original 'Bird) after spending so much time and money getting it sorted, I won't do it again (well, not so soon, anyway). After spending last winter and spring getting the KTM 990 sorted I just can't bear to part with it. Besides, with my skinny ass in the saddle, it's a major hoot to ride and a pretty damned good touring machine.

Don't feel too bad for me... I DID manage to get another bike added to the stable...

Nars it may go like stink, but seriously, they look like crap, and after all it's all about the look, feel and sound, and I'll bet you miss all that

Look like crap???? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, mate


I do miss the style, power, and riding of the 'Bird, but I don't miss all that damned chrome I always felt compelled to keep clean. I will get me another cool street bike... just not sure when. Though, if the EPA tests/processes for the new Norton Commando keep going well, I might have to start saving my pennies for one.

Man I wish I had the cash. I have an idea: I'll trade you my 08 Rocket III Touring and we'll call it even.
