Looks like a nice enough bike, competitive price too.
I have to wonder though, why not simply sell it with the 104 kit covered in your sidebar? Slightly bigger pistons and different cams would not cost much extra if they simply came with the bike to begin with.
With the kitted engine, power is very good for the class. Seems like a missed opportunity.
As it is, the new Thunderbird is heavy and underpowered as delivered. Pity. The power part of it apparently is easily rectified.
