How Many Thunderbird Owners Out There

I was curious about how many Thunderbird owners are out there and what the spread is across the UK. Found a web site showing bikes that are registered here in the UK at DVLA which makes interesting reading:

Thunderbird LT numbers are
2014 - 148
2015 - 194
2016 - 198 (to date)

Thunderbird Commander
2014 - 71
2015 - 116
2016 - 124 (to date)

Thunderbird Storm
2011 - 54
2012 - 269
2013 - 380
2014 - 457
2015 - 505
2016 - 507

I was wondering how many thunderbirds are out in the rest of the world and how many riders are members on the forum?

There's more variants to the thunderbird than those you have listed
Mines a 1600 but there's also a 900 version as well

 

Hi Gary, yep I'm aware of that, I just wanted to get things started with the latest variants. Happy for you or anybody else to add their bikes numbers etc to the thread. Hopefully in time we will establish the numbers for each thunderbird type and the spread across the UK and world.

Just out of interest how do you find out those numbers?

 

I got a thunderbird 650!!

 

Not many of those about right now, it is beautiful; did you restore it?

I used this web site. Just select search and enter your bike details.

No unfortunately that's what she looked like 15 years ago. Is being neglected in my shed right now awaiting some love and affection and parts and work and time and.......

 

Oh dear you really should get that project started, such a shame not to be able to show such a beautiful machine off.

... and a blue respray!

 

Sacrilege!!

 

I think it would look good in blue with polka dots ala Mr Blobby

 

Ok guy's it looks like there is only Gary M, Crispey and me on the forum that have Thunderbirds, surely this cannot the case? Come on guy's you are out there aren't you.

Thought Wayne had the 900 version?

 

so the number increases to four!

Wessa

 

Any more for any more; are there really only four of us on the forum riding thunderbirds?

Wessa

 

I'm sure there was somebody on here with the t'bird storm

 

Thanks for that Dougie D. Makes you wonder when there are circa 500 LT's, 300 Commanders and 2000 Storms register in the UK that there are apparently only four or five owners on the forum that have a Thunderbird.

I had thought there to have been so many more? Still having started the thread I now know that we T'bird owners are a rare breed.
