Great Qualities Of The Big Twin Thunderbird

I started making a list of the great qualities of the big twin Thunderbird motorcycle.

1. It handles incredibly well and, with high-mounted foot pegs, provides sufficient ground clearance.
2. It delivers good fuel economy and long range with the large tank size.
3. It is completely stable in strong crosswinds.
4. The engine pulls hard from low rpm and offers a flat torque curve and smooth fueling.
5. The engine is happy being lugged or operated at the upper levels of its rpm range.
6. The engine note has a great character at all rpm.
7. The braking is strong (if a bit lacking in feel).
8. The transmission shifts precisely and smoothly.
9. It is extremely comfortable.
10. The roadster windshield creates a pocket of stable air without noise or buffeting.
11. It has a low-maintenance belt drive perfect for touring.
12. It's a beautiful motorcycle.
13. It has a wonderful overall character that makes you feel like you're one with the machine.

What would you add to this list?

 

Tennessee whiskey? Gotta be Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey!

 

14. Effortlessly handles a passenger.
15. Cruises at 80 mph with ease.
16. Looks awesome in black!

 

Definitely! "Sophisticated" is exactly the word my daughter used when she saw it for the first time today!
