SPEEDMASTER. Bad boy good looks. Flash cut pipes. Engine covers in black for real attitude. Black cast wheels with machined detail. The Speedmaster. Air-cooled, 865cc parallel twin, 270^ crank engine. A unique 'hot rod' style. The very essence of a low-slung, old-school cruiser re-invented for the demands of the modern rider. A brooding dark horse. Tank mounted tacho. Braided brake hoses. Twin front discs and flat bars. The Speedmaster looks brilliant. It rides even better.

ASTER

AMERICA. With a British twist. Definitive cruiser styling and distinctive design. Sit low, settle into the low-scooped seat, feet forward. Grab one of the bars and with the other hand hit the starter button. The traditional British torquey, air-cooled 865cc parallel twin clears its throat and rumbles into life. That 270^ crank says it all. No place to hide now. They're all looking at you. Get real, they're looking at the bike. Ok, ok, some are admiring themselves in the chrome: there's plenty to go round. Chromed single headlamp, chromed engine covers, all that chromed detailing. Shrouded forks with polished lowers, machined cast wheels, twin reverse cone pipes. America the bold. America the beautiful.

AMERICA

Increase the America's touring potential with huge, 18 litre capacity per side, genuine leather saddlebags featuring Triumph branded chrome buckles and subtle snap-fit clips. Chrome plated sissy bar and rack featuring backrest pad tailored to match seat. Die cast Triumph branded chrome plated highway pegs shown fitted with adjustable mounts.

UNDERBIRD

ALL-NEW THUNDERBIRD.

A rider's cruiser. Typically assured Triumph handling. A rigorously engineered chassis. Finely tuned suspension. Supreme control for all kinds of riding. A low centre of gravity for perfect balance at all speeds. Open the throttle. The all-new parallel twin 1600cc/98 cubic-inch water cooled engine effortlessly heaps immense torque down into the road. Even at low revs. In all gears. Savour the exhaust note. Consummate acoustic artistry to tune out the treble, turn up the bass and create the Thunderbird's unique freedom call.

THUNDERBIRD

The meticulously considered all-new Thunderbird. In every aspect of its instrumentation and detailing. The tank hosts a large speedo, integrated tacho, two trip meters and fuel gauge, set in a chromed nacelle. Its generous 22 litre capacity affords you an extended cruising range - the perfect opportunity to admire the cast chromed Triumph badges and Thunderbird logo that adorn it. The finely calibrated suspension system is a revelation eating up mile after mile of tarmac with the comfort and handling you demand. And for that ultimate control, there is the progressive smoothness of dual front discs, delivering that special feedback and responsiveness.

Thunderbird pictured features wide handlebars for a more relaxed riding position. Hand polished triple chromed wheels, triple plated chrome fork legs, chromed single seat rack and chrome master cylinder cover with Triumph logo as well as high flow short silencers.
