Average Rating – If we talk about the comfort and styling of the fat boy then, it comes with Full Length Rider Footboards that giver extra comfort and handling to brakes and gear shifts. Seating of the bike is low heighted with lowdown frame and rigid power train which will give solid and comfortable connection to the bike and road.
Triumph Thunderbird is somewhat similar to Fat Boy in seating with wider and low height seat but unwelcomed the pillion rider with miniscule rear perch. High handle bar and Cruiser-typical forward –set foot pegs make it better choice for taller guys.

Triumph Thunderbird Strom is available for Indian riders in two colours which will cost around 13,00,000 INR (Ex-Showroom). As company does not have too many customers in country and also lacks number of showrooms around the nation, 13 Lakh is a big amount for the bike.
Value for Money – Brand’s iconic name and its glorious history in bike making, makes Fat Boy total worth for Money. The leather tank strap, satin chrome side badges and satin chrome speedometer and ignition switch console make it more eye catching. The sensation of riding such a heavy torque machine, makes it purely addictive and hard to resist to have one.
Front two head Lamp style gives classic look to Thunder bird storm. Liquid cooled and fuel injected parallel twin engine make it powerful. If we talk about the ride of bike in city and highway then the bike gives efficient and good control on highway with wider tyres and greater handling but on the other hand, large turning radius and wider look make it tough to ride in crawling city traffic. This bike is not preferable for daily city ride.
