Always garaged, never rode in bad weatherGenuine leather, lockable saddle bags for convenient storageNo blemishes, scratches, dents, or other wear This is a beautiful, head turning, attention getting motorcycle. If you're a new rider, you will feel very confident on this sexy cruiser and will learn to push yourself to your limits. If you're an experienced rider, you will love throwing it into the curves and powering out. This isn't an overly hyped up V-twin that you see on every street corner. this is a brilliantly engineered parallel twin that will make those hardcore HD guys think about buying one of their own. Why am I selling it then? I bought a Triumph Rocket III Roadster! Long, low, blacked out and mean, the Speedmaster echoes the hot-rod cruiser theme but adds a very British spin with some classic Triumph parallel twin power. Built to be an engaging entry level bike that's also ideal for riders moving to their first big bike the Speedmaster has the zest and handling to keep experienced riders happy too. Everything about it is laid back and easy. The low rider look is a classic one reflecting the style of home-built hot-rods on both sides of the Atlantic. But the soul of any bike is its engine. And that’s where the Speedmaster stands out even more, with an air-cooled twin that is steeped in Triumph's long and colorful heritage. All this means you have a highly capable motorcycle that has a great feel and delivers satisfying performance every single day. Performance The output peaks at a muscular 61PS and there's strong torque from low in the rev range, with a maximum of 53lb.ft at just 3300rpm. To you that means plenty of thrust at a flick of the wrist without needing to resort to the slick gear change. Parallel Twin The Speedmaster's parallel twin is such a refreshing change with its roots in the very engines that brought Triumph to the forefront of motorcycling during the 1950s and 1960s the golden era of British twins. Still very much a classic looking Triumph engine, it was built using modern Triumph technology, cleverly hiding it behind that traditional exterior. Triumph has also retained the air cooling to give you a bike that looks right but, although it seems to have twin carburetors, the Speedmaster is fueled by a modern electronic fuel injection system for high efficiency, plenty of smooth and accessible power and exceptional fuel consumption. Configuration The engine feels great thanks to the 270 degree crankshaft design which results in a lazy, uneven beat from the mellow exhaust note to match the easy pull of the motor. Triumph made sure that vibration levels are just enough to let you know there's an engine working hard beneath you but without intruding on your general ride or comfort. And, inside the old style cylinders Triumph added double overhead camshafts, eight valves and a fully integrated crankshaft, clutch and gearbox. All with a comprehensive engine management system to handle the ignition as well as fuel injection. Fuel Efficiency The Speedmaster is laid back and easy on the fuel too. It can manage 71.1mpg at a steady 56mph and even at 75mph you’ll be sipping fuel at 55.5mpg. HandlingForming the backbone of the Speedmaster’s long, low style and at the same time providing it with exceptionally easy, well balanced handling. Triumph has made a chassis that even the most inexperienced riders can manage and seasoned ones can enjoy. Triumph raked the forks out at an extreme 33.8 degrees in true hotrod style and kept the trail figure long at 170.4mm. They stretched the wheelbase out too at a lengthy 1606mm but because they've kept the center of gravity low and very carefully matched the geometry, the Speedmaster still steers with that easy, engaging feel that makes even tight, low speed corners a breeze. And stability at higher speeds of course is exceptionally good. Brakes Triumph put a single 310mm disc at the front backed up by the 285mm rear disc to help maintain the bike's lean look. Together, they provide plenty of power with good feedback to make sure the Speedmaster stops as well as it goes. Riding PositionAs a Speedmaster rider you adopt a relaxed position, feet well forward and hands wide apart on the pulled back bars. Sitting just 690mm from the ground the Speedmaster is very easy to manage even at walking pace. And it’s comfortable when the pace increases, so you can take in the scenery and just enjoy the ride. It's laid back style suits a wide range of riders and is a great choice for anyone that finds other bikes too much of a stretch to the ground.
