Triumph Thunderbird Lt

TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD LT

IGNITION

No suprise that the $ 6,699 LT (for Light Touring) rides a lot ike its Commander stablemate since they share the same platform Easily detachable leather bags and copbike screen Work with a higher handlebar to help make the LT better on the open road, and it's got the Same great seat. But the slightly extra weight, 16-inch wirespoke wheels (with radial whitewalls) and stiffer rear springs (for the extra oad potential) end up giving the LT a slightly floatier feel Bottom line? A totally travel-ready Triumph.
