-In 1999, alongside the standard, Legend, and Sport models, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird Adventurer, a motorcycle that blend the 50s and 60s appearance with the classic cruised design. The bike delivered plenty of street character and handled both city streets and highway roads.

The bike feature a low seating position and was perfect for shorter riders. It also offered excellent handling at both highway speeds or city heavy traffic. It also came with an optional restriction kit.

The visual department was similar to the other models, packing standard features, such as a round headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.
