The Triumph Thunderbird was a British motorcycle first introduced in 1949 and made in different shapes and forms until 1966. The name was also used for other distinct Triumph models. The bike's name and retro styling harked back to the company's golden years of the 1960s. Also, it was the first classic machine manufactured by the recovering company. The bike's engine was made to look classic and modified for more torque at lower rpm. Also, the British maker introduced other versions of the motorcycle, such as the Triumph T309TT Legend, Triumph T309RC Adventurer, and the Triumph T309RD Thunderbird Sport. The Thunderbird was manufactured until 2003, and the Sport version until 2004. In the visual department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels. The 1995 Triumph Thunderbird had installed underneath its fuel tank an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 70 hp at 8, 000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 4, 800 rpm.
