    Hi all
    Just bought a 96 plate thunderbird 900 and loving it. Based in Peterborough and my other bike is a ZZR1400. Love the ZZR but getting back on an older bike bought back loads of memories of how we used to ride.

    Hi Rob,
    Welcome to the forum ,
    I also own a Thriumph Thunderbird 900 View attachment 167565 and a ZZR, but the 1100.
    Welcome to the forum, FB_IMG_1710675989447.jpg FB_IMG_1717139983193.jpg I have the same bike in blue, I also had a ZZR , the 1100 though, I love riding the T bird as I get older, the need for speed doesn't interest me as much.
    I enjoy the sound of the Browning exhausts ( a must have on these bikes)
    The no plastic all metal cosmetics.
    An ideal bike for pottering about around the country roads where I live in Kent. I wouldn't swop her for anything.i have owned her now for must be 10 years I guess .enjoy the ride :)

    Greetings from Lincolnshire.
    Had my Thunderbird 29 years now.
    Best bike I've ever had, you'll love it too no doubt.

    I have always wanted that model of Triumph, but in the cream and purple colour. Maybe one day. Welcome.
