Triumph Thunderbird Rated Best Cruiser of 2010

In Cycle World magazine's annual Ten Best Bikes review, the Triumph Thunderbird has been awarded Best Cruiser status for the second year in a row...

The T-Bird's pair of 4-inch pistons make more torque at 2630 rpm—95.1 ft.-lb.—than most cruiser motors make all day. But this bike's more than a pair of big jugs. It rumbles along smoothly, soulfully, while providing comfortably kicked-back ergonomics and suspension that actually suspends. Triumph being Triumph, it couldn't even keep from building a big cruiser that handles okay, too, and then wrapped it up in crisp styling, with a shapely no-seams gas tank, maximum chrome and minimal plastic.

Cool NY Times Article on Royal Enfield C5 Classics

Just ran across this great article from last year which gives some great history on the Royal Enfield brand, as well as some great details about the last engine design:

The heart of the C5 is its air-cooled 499 cc power plant, an all-new design that continues the single-cylinder layout of its predecessors. It retains the trademark cadence of a thumper — the common nickname given to large-displacement 1-cylinder bikes — but now the engine and transmission, formerly separate components, have been integrated to create the Unit Construction Engine. The UCE, as Royal Enfield calls it, is fuel-injected and designed to be efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly. It will be used on all Royal Enfield export models.
