It's not nearly as bad as that baby blue one they came out with in , 02 I believe? That color wasn't around long.

For Triumph dealers, the Thunderbird 1600 provides a saleable alternative to a Harley. "Take a mix between a Rocket (III) and Speedmaster and that's what you get," said Dave Rosen, general manager of Gengras Triumph in East Hartford, who sat on one at Triumph's dealer show in England last month. What Rosen finds disappointing is the fact that the Thunderbird 1600 won't be in showrooms until July 2009. "They're going to beat on the bike for another year," he said, the purpose being to make sure all bugs are worked out.

All of Triumphs lines (including the Bonneville models) will be fuel-injected for 2009, with Triumph planning a limited edition 50th anniversary version of the Bonneville. A total of 650 will be produced but only 150 will be sent to the U.S.
