    Hi
    Thanks for the opportunity to join the Triumph Forum.
    Short history:
    Passed my bike test in 2000 and my first bike was a ‘98 Thunderbird Sport in red!
    She was sold three years later to be replaced with an Aprilia RSV Mille which I had until 2019 and replaced with a Yamaha XT660 Z Tenere.
    The Tenere is a great bike, comfortable, reliable and ready to travel around the world!
    Just one problem, she just doesn’t float my boat and I really miss my TBS!
    So nights are now spent trolling eBay looking for a red, mk 1, hopefully with a single seat, unfortunately I have to sell or PX my Tenere.
    Stay safe
    Tony

    Hi Tony,

    I passed my test in 2017 and my first bike is a '98 TBS in red!

    You can't have it!

    It holds far too much sentimental value to me.....and everyone on this forum who has sold one, regrets it!
    Good luck with your search.

    I loved the RSV but I had grand plans of riding the TET, Kung Flu put the kibosh on that!
