Copywriting

trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with
flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about
your business, services or products. Read an an example of good copywriting for a
fictitious Sydney Mercedes Dealer, or

I've owned and ridden Harleys exclusively since I was 22 - and not until now
have I even been tempted to ride anything else. That’s how good I think the
T-bird cruiser is!
2010 Thunderbird overview
The 2010 Triumph Thunderbird is apparently 99% brand new - it only inherits
about 1% of it's build from its big brother, the Rocket III.
The T-bird is powered by a parallel twin 1597cc, (98 cubic inch) water cooled
engine. The motor produces almost 85bhp @ 4850rpm, and almost 108ft.lb @ a very
low 2750rpm (63.2kw and 146.1Nm). The Combustion gases are expelled through a
very long (and wide) exhaust system, which is rated at 92dba (legal level in NSW
is 94dba). Triumph also have available a shorter and slightly louder system
available as an option. Read about my two favourite
aftermarket Triumph Thunderbird exhaust mufflers.
The transmission has six gears, or really, 5 with an overdrive top gear. Slip
into sixth, drop the revs, and the bike smoothly rumbles along the highway, even
at higher speeds. The bike also uses the first belt drive to appear on a Triumph
since 1922. Triumph say the belt will last the life of the bike, but the rear
pulley, strangely enough, only lasts about 60,000 miles.
The dash mounted instrument panel tells you more about the road, as well as your
journey, with class-leading functionality. The tank has a large speedometer,
integrated tacho, two trip meters and fuel gauge, set in a chromed nacelle and
proudly bearing the unique Thunderbird logo. This detailing is carried through
to the indicators, which have clear lenses so as not to spoil the monochrome
look and are self-cancelling - because you’d rather just concentrate on enjoying
the ride. The fuel tank under the dash holds a useful 22 litres.
The standard seat is nice and low - a mere 700mm off the ground. But as expected
from Triumph, this class-leading low clearance isn’t at the expense of padding.
Cruise with a partner in comfort - or alone - and still plant both feet firmly
on the ground at lights. The seat seams are also taped to avoid soaking up any
possible rain you might get caught in.
The front wheel is a 19 x 3.5 inch cast aluminium, and the rear is 17 x 6 inch.
Both wheels have spokes which are machined with such precision, you can see your
face in them. Even the tyres are new. The Thunderbird team worked with Metzeler
to develop bespoke profiles, with the rear being engineered to give it a look
that means business at no expense to that trademark Triumph handling.
