Do you think that a Triumph Thunderbird 900 is suitable for touring the Swiss Alps?
You probably know about Swiss traffic regulations, so you won’t be speeding and get a vignette. Recently Triumph owners have been told to keep a close eye on oil levels but apart from that the bike will probably benefit from a Scottoiler or regular chain lubing, fresh tyres (you don’t want to run out of grip on a hairpin halfway up a mountain). Try a Ventura rack and luggage, works with pillions or without positions your luggage over the pillion so it doesn’t affect the weight distribution too much – handy with tight corners. http://www.ventura-bike.com/fitments.
