ive had my triumph speedmaster a month now and its rained most of that so havent covered that much mileage. ive owned various bikes since 1975 from fire blades, ducatis to harleys. i find the triumph one of the most enjoyable to ride. fitted short tor exhausts from purchase and the fuel injection remaped. now covered 140 miles engine feels strong and barks nicely, with a low burble and pops and bangs on the over run. the breaks are excellent for a bike of 504 lbs i only have to one finger brake. very impressive chassis and great feeling of solid road holding. paint finish was a bit poor, but an evening cutting and polishing has sorted that. overall i think what a cracking bike for the money, only gripe is triumph are on back order for aftermarket parts so im still waiting for my single seat. ride safe all.
