What needed to happen, of course, was that the model would sell well to riders who had never sat astride a 60s British bike and that is what started to happen in ever-increasing numbers. Anyone who was familiar with the original Bonneville of the 60s immediately felt as if they had been transported back a few decades, and as such, the model sold as well on nostalgia as much as the quality of the ride, which was also impressively modern. The new Thunderbird was 10 inches shorter and 900 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and 1977 would be the best year for sales year to date, far exceeding the 1960 production numbers.
