TRIUMPHThunderbird 1999 - 2000

　　In 1999, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird, a naked motorcycle that debuted in 1994. The 1999 machine had the same package as previous models, without significant modifications.

　　In addition to the standard model, the British maker made available three more variations of the base model: the Triumph Thunderbird Sport, Thunderbird Legend, and Thunderbird Adventurer. The base model was manufactured until 2003, and the Sport model until 2004.

　　In the aesthetic department, the 1999 Thunderbird was fitted with standard features, such as a large round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The bike was built around a micro-alloyed high tensile steel frame with a 43 mm fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

　　The braking performance was handled by a 320 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 285 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering optimum stopping power.

　　In the performance department, the 1999 Triumph Thunderbird had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three flat side carburetors, delivering 70 hp at 8,000 rpm and 71 Nm (52 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.
