It would be easy to be cynical about the Triumph Thunderbird Storm. Its route of taking an existing cruiser model and spinning off a pared-down, mean and moody, all-black, ‘hot rod’-styled variant is a well-trodden one.

In recent years there have been Harley-Davidson Nightsters, Victory 8-Balls, Honda’s Black Spirit, even Kawasaki’s VN900 Custom, so the Storm is not so much a case of Triumph jumping on the bandwagon as shouting ‘Room for one more?’ and squeezing onboard among everyone else.

Riding it, however, reveals the new Storm to be pleasingly more than just AN Other fashion victim. Hinckley has become particularly adept recently at delivering well thought-out and crisply-executed machines that are both thoroughly developed and wanting for little. And the Storm, although developed from an existing model – the 1600 Thunderbird – is the latest example of this.
