The brakes take a good hiding as well because there’s only a single disc on the front. "They do tend to knock out a few fork seals, though and we see those from time to time. As such, they don’t have the injection problems of some of the later bikes. "We don’t see too many mechanical issues because the first generation of machines from the reborn Triumph were heavily engineered to ensure reliability. "The Mikunis are an old style carburettor, which is very similar to those on the old GSX-Rs, everybody used the same sort of carbs at that point. They probably got a better deal off Keihin, that’s all. "There’s no real difference between the Mikuni carbed ones and the Keihin ones. Looks and cosmetics are really important on bikes like this. Keep on top of that and you’ll be absolutely fine.

"Corrosion is something you need to watch out for, because people don’t clean them properly. "As for the engine, as long as the battery’s kept fully charged all the time, so you don’t have starter clutch issues, it’s bulletproof. In fact, so much so that we usually keep coils in stock! ‘The other thing we see is the coils packing up, which causes running problems. Because they’re the sort of bike that’s not used all the time – they are more sunny Sundays than commuters – the fuel system is very prone to clogging up. "The only issues we tend to see with them are fuel problems. Triumph Thunderbird 900 reliability - a dealer's verdictīy Pete O'Dell, The Motorcycle Works, Peterborough - 01733 578 883 The bike scores 4.1 out of 5 stars overall, with buyers stating the brakes and suspension need work after a few years of regular use. The downside of that is the Triumph Thunderbird 900 is a little heavier than it has to be, but, in this context at least, I think we can live with that.Īfter 27 years on sale, we've got 22 Triumph Thunderbird owners' reviews on the site. Like most early Hinckley Triumphs the Triumph Thunderbird 900 benefited from engineering paranoia to the extent that it is massively over-engineered, understressed and pretty durable, too. The T-bird was quickly joined by the more cruiser-ey Adventurer 900 and the faster, better handling Thunderbird Sport (which, though less retro, is the most desirable 900 T-bird of all, launched in 1998) and more basic, cheaper Legend TT. It’s comfortable, relatively low and easy but prone to back-firing (all the early Mikuni bikes do it, apparently). The triple puts out a fruity-sounding 70bhp with plenty of flexible drive. It’s also, being a retro roadster, still a decent ride, too. However, if you prefer classic chrome and alloy, a decent original Hinckley Thunderbird can still be had for under £4k.

There’s also classy build-quality and detailing (on these early ones the amount of polished alloy is simply mouth-watering) plus its timeless style.Īs a result, prices – particularly of good ones – are on the rise, especially for the most potent and best performing Thunderbird Sport. That’s due not just to the current fashion for retros and the T-bird’s ‘bigger, three-cylinder Bonnie’ appeal, but also to its still relevant 70bhp performance, its durability and reliability. The 900 T-bird was a reasonable hit for Triumph back in the day and, if anything, is even more popular today. Triumph Thunderbird 900 is a great used buy Unlike the original Speed Triple 900, though, which now feels and looks a little dated, the retro-look T-bird is still relevant.
