    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.

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

    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.
