I thought I'd seen 'em all, but that's a new one on me. The T-bird was really kicking lardy cruiser butt back then.. :-D

I always thought it was funny that many people and mags consider the T'Bird a cruiser. Like the Yamaha V Max is considered cruiser?!?!?! (I do like it that my insurance company considers the 'bird as cruiser)

I've always thought it as a standard. Upright riding position - not slouching, feet below me - not in front of me, good cornering clearance - not scraping metal and performance - not slooooooooow!

I think the article shows that the Thunderbird is far and away a better performing bike than all the others. (as if we needed to be told that :razz: )

Best of all it is one of the most affordable.

Cheers to us!
