The Storm was the blacked-out, stripped-back member of the Thunderbird cruiser family, built on the same chassis but with the larger 1700 cc twin as standard. It wears twin headlights, drag bars and dark finishes in place of chrome, with a low seat and belt drive. Tuned for strong low-rpm pull and relaxed cruising.
