Based on our original Thunderbird, the Commander easily impresses riders and onlookers with its classic cruiser style, premium feel and the world s largest capacity parallel twin engine. And being a Triumph, it s a cruiser that also gives you day-long comfort, practicality, character and, on top of all that, superb handling. There s no compromise here.
