Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thunderbird LT 2014

It was to be expected that the LT would not disappoint after the convincing performance of the Commander. What's more, the blue and white paintwork is already convincing at the car park; something for the history books. And once the windshield, the sissy bar, the pillion and the panniers have been removed, you're done for. Fuck big enduros!

Solid, quality workmanship

comfortable, relaxed seating position.

Windshield could easily be perceived as annoying, depending on how you feel.
