Triumph Thunder Commander reviews

The Commander is a beautiful bike. Very comfortable to ride, great on the open road. Standard with floor boards. It’s not bulky or too heavy and it handles nicely. I kept mine stock and it sounds great, didn’t see the need to change the pipes, so it’s not obnoxiously loud. They are no longer in production. Show less

I have ridden and raced motorcycles since I was 17 years old and have owned three street bikes. Yamaha FJR 1300, Suzuki M109R2, and my Current motorcycle the Triumph Thunderbird Commander. Each bike had qualities that I like. But for an overall bike, the Triumph Thunderbird commander is a head above the rest. The quality and finish of the motorcycle is outstanding. The paint has real painted pinstriping done by hand. Oh the belt drive is very quiet and I don’t have to do any maintenance like shaft drive or a chain. The Commander has a 1700cc motor which has all the power and torque that you will ever need. It’s by far is the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden, and I’ve ridden a lot of bikes including several different Harley Davidsons. It is a shame that more people do not look Triumphs they are is fantastic motorcycle. The only problem that I’ve ever had with the motorcycle is a dead battery. The only complaint that I have, is the sound level of the horn. I took it off and put on a aftermarket horn. Anyone considering getting a Motorcycle should go check out Triumph’s line. If you’re looking for a great cruiser, this is the one to get! You won’t be disappointed. I am constantly getting compliments on how beautiful the motorcycle is. Ride safe and have fun. Show less

The frame is unreliable- It loves curves- high speed or low, maneuverability is like no other bike I’ve ever rode- what they did with the frame is a marvel of engineering—the suspension is also top notch--- I just need to disconnect the charcoal canister, re do the tank breather (not from Cali)- other than that, it’s a sheer joy to ride Oh- and you can't lift it like other bike's - (see frame) but it's not a big deal Show less
