Engineered by Triumph for the prototype - concept model motorcycle segment, the 2009 Triumph Thunderbird 1600 features a 1594 cc (97.3 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 92 HP (67.2 kW) while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 57.7 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
