In 2000, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird 900, a motorcycle that debuted in 1995 and carried on its heritage with an stylish blend of authentic retro styling and modern engine and chassis.
The 2000 Thunderbird featured the same package as the previous model without any modifications, delivering the same visual, technical, and performance specifications. The 2000 model was available in Cardinal Red with Chromium and Aston Green with Champagne.
The bike 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 silencer on each side, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.
Also, the machine was available with many Triumph Accessories, including an integrated alarm, different windscreens, a tank bag, a front mudguard extension kit, a leather pannier kit, a center stand, and many chromed elements.
The 2000 Triumph Thunderbird had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three carburetors, delivering 70 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 71 Nm (52 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.
The bike's power was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch that spun the rear wheel through an X-ring final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 191 kph (119 mph).
From top speed to a complete stop, the motorcycle relied on a 320 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 285 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
