I´m 66 years old. Been riding for 50 years. Hondas and 25 years on Harley Davidson Springer. Purchased thunderbird LT 18 months ago New. 12K miles on the clock now. Very powerful, responsive. 47mpg. Smooth as glass at 80mph. Most comfortable bike I´ve owned. Nothing to go a tank full at a time. No issues so far. Con: very little in accessories. Mine is loaded. Heavy as slow speed. Paid 13,500 dollars. Superior in every way than Harley Davidson in my humble opinion. Not much high tech on the bike. But that´s how I like it. No much on resale value.
