Triumph’s new Thunderbird 1600 cruiser has scooped a prestigious award, just months after its launch.

The twin cylinder machine has been listed as `Cruiser of The Year’ 2009 by Cycle World magazine, the best-selling motorcycle magazine in the world. The Thunderbird impressed the CW panel with its styling and ease of riding at the Barcleona launch of the new model recently.

“We hope this is the first many awards,” commented Paul Stroud from Triumph UK, “this model has been eagerly anticipated since our global dealer conference last year. We hope that the Thunderbird sets new standards in the Cruiser class, and to receive an award from the biggest magazine in motorcycling, published in the land of the Harley-Davidson, is a fantastic boost.”

UK bikers will have a chance to judge for themselves, as Triumph dealers are holding Thunderbird launch weekends on the 11th/12th July 2009. There are demo rides available on the new machine, so get in touch to find out more; www.triumph.co.uk
