    Hi guys,
    I've been riding fast bikes for years but need to chill now.
    Have just bought a T.Bird 1600 on a 10 plate.
    Being delivered on 4/2/22.
    Can't wait.!! It's virtually as perfect as what I want in terms of styling. I'll want a sissy bar and I like the double T-bars. Need to source them,any thoughts,ideas.

    SNAP! I went from a GSXR1100WP to a 10 plate T-Bird 1600 in October 2020. Great bike and no regrets. Nice to be able to actually see the scenery when out for a spin now.:)
