Looks like the boys from Hinckley have toyed with the popular Thunderbird cruiser for the new model year. The Storm version is black-only, with much of the chrome anodized black for a more aggressive look. They also swapped the tradition single headlight for the dual headlights of the Rocket III, Street and (old) Speed Triple, and drag bars. Result: a tough-looking machine that even a non-cruiser guy like me finds alluring.

More at motorcycle-usa.com, including some video of the beast moving about.

I got a chance to see this beast in person a few days ago, and it’s definitely better looking than the usual Thunderbird. The gloss gray headlight buckets look fantastic and would look very appropriate on my Street Triple.
