Hummm, after my accident with the r3 now i am looking to replace it. I love the r3 but do to my wrist injury i dont think i will be able to handle such of big heavy bike. In a perfect world i will get another r3 but passing that thru the wife its almost impossible(atleast for now). I got a few months to decide which bike to get(or if i wanna ride again) but i really like the red thunderbird any suggestions will be appreciated.

only you know what you can handle, but don't give up on the r3 just yet.

The T Bird is still a big bike, if you are a smaller guy a Bonneville may be the answer a lot lighter and a nice ride, just a bit cramped for a bigger rider,

A buddy of mind was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and decided to give up his R3R for a tiger, when I inquired as to why he didn't go with the Thunderbird he claimed during the test ride it felt nearly as heavy as his Rocket.
My suggestion would be to try a couple different models to see which one feels the best

Thunderbirds are just as heavy. I tried one for the sake of extra leg room, but it doesn't exist on that bike either.

The Bonneville is so slow it will feel like a Honda trail 90 after owning an R3.
I had a new 2010 Scrambler and it was very nice but oh so slow.
