Folks, my girls (wife and daughter) will not ride with me on my Speed Triple. I really don't blame them, but I love my Speed Triple so it isn't going anywhere. So, I am looking for a relatively low cost motorcycle to add to the stable for two-up cruising. I am very fond of the Thunderbird Sport, so herein lies my question;
Do any of you use a Thunderbird Sport for two-up cruising? How is the suspension? Power?
I worked at a Triumph dealership back in 1999 and I rode the standard Thunderbird a few times. Great motorcycle, but the suspension was too soft. I am a big boy at 255 lb.s, but my wife is a tiny 4'9". Combined we are probably the weight of two average people.
Now, I don't mind buying the T-Bird Sport and having to upgrade the suspnesion immediately if all else is right with the bike.
Any suggestions, comments, insults?
