I really like the looks of this bike and road a demo model @dealer can any one tell me how the realiabilty is on this model or trouble area's to look for if buying a used one how are the ole electric's looking for a 1998- 04 model Thanx/ John g
Yes John I have a 2003 TBS. There is a group on yahoo dedicated to this model: triumphthunderbirdsportriders. Reliability is quite good with some owners reporting very high mileage with no major repairs. They have problem areas like any vehicle but these issues have been well discussed in group posts. These bikes are fairly rare so if you find a nice example go for it. Walter I bought my 1998 TBS in 1998. I feel this is the best all around motorcycle out there. I have had no significant problems in 9 years. The electrics are excellent.
