    I bought my speedy back in August after not having ridden a bike for 25 years. No test ride - I wanted it so I bought it - it is better than I expected and it brings a smile to my face everytime I ride it - Awsome

    I've just got my new 2010 speedmaster and let me tell you all that tyhis is the best decision I've ever made. I have been riding with a couple of friends that have their Harleys and my speedmaster is much better in all aspects I can think about over their Harleys. I am so happy with this bike.
    I recomed it very much over Harley, Suzuki, Honda or Yamaha.

    Awesome allrounder for me,the more milage i do the more i like it.Have fitted aftermarket pipes which are great as cars can now hear me plus i like the improved sound,particurly at 5000+ revs.
    Perfect bike for me as 52 y/o returning to biking after 30 years.Excellent value for money.
    Only negative so far is the rear suspension which could be improved.
    Would recommend to all.

    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 brak ...

    Bought the Speedmaster after 23 years off bikes and so glad I chose this bike. Handles, goes, stops really well. Sure it will be plenty fast enough for me once it's run-in. I put the slash cut silencers on it and it sounds great, motorists can hear it coming! The bike gets loads of appreciative comments and looks - mostly I hear 'look at this Harley' but when peeps see it's a Triumph they are amazed. I love the look of the bike and would recommend it to anyone looking for a middleweight cruiser ...

    This Triumph Speedmaster bike is set up for people who want to chill. But it can go. Ride on the torque all day or just relax, its great at both. Well balanced, easy to ride, brilliant to chuck around. Great brakes, and now its got America bars on its even better.

    I've been riding since I was 14 now 71+. I started with a Cushman Eagle. When I got a bit bigger I had BSA, Suzuki, Yamaha 2 cycles up to 360cc. There was a dry spell as the kids were being raised. Then a new Yamaha 535 Virgo, Harley Sportster 1200. The previous bike was Kawasaki 1600 Meanstreak. I put 12K miles on it in 4 years. I consider myself a knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast. The Harley I just never got it to run right and I had massive warranty issues. The Kawasaki was super, l ...

    Excelent bike and if you put a set of 5 inch pullback risers on instead of the standard ones which you can just do without changing the cables it makes it more comfortable in my opinion anyway.

    This is my first 'proper' bike, my last having been a 50cc step-through some 15 years ago.
    Picked up my 2009 model the day I passed my full test and I am amazed at how easy it is to ride.
    I had 40 miles to ride home with the bike, and after getting out of town can count on one hand how may times I had to change down out of 5th.
    The bike has the Triumph short pipes and lower spoiler fitted - both of which are excellent. The tone of the pipes is spot on and the spoiler does exactly what I had ho ...

    I like it. Riding position is great. I have been used to upright models Yam XJR1300 etc. but the speedmaster is more laid back. Feet forward is without doubt the best ever riding position - I like it. Build is not quite as good as Japanese, but it definitely has something. It is throaty. Need to keep in a lower gear when going slower than you do with a big four cylinder. Really nice styling. Some quaint things about it.

    I have ridden from Longisland to Nova Scotia with no faults. Not
    A touring bike and maybe a touring seat would have been nice.
    I now have 10,000 miles and only had a faulty $18.00 oil pressure switch.

    This is my second Triumph Speedmaster, I bought my 1st one which was a 790cc after suffering from a damaged right foot from a previous bike accident. I rode it over to Spain for the Moto GP, it never missed a beat and never had any aches whatsoever. Then I went back to a Honda VFR800 as I thought in my weird way that I wasn't ready for this style bike, I went to Assen again for the Moto GP and then decided who am I kidding. So I sold the VFR and purchased my 2007 model Speedmaster. I have found ...

    The last time I owned a bike was over ten years ago which were all sports bikes so I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the different riding position with the foot pegs going forward etc. I needn't have worried however as I got used to it after a couple of rides. What I didn't expect though was the sensitivity and responsiveness of the throttle... that took a bit more time to get used to but improved after the first 800km service where it seemed to settle down a bit.
    I have had this bike fo ...

    Picked up my Speedmaster today and I'm over the moon with it. Smooth and good to ride. Probably the best looking bike I've had in over 40 years of riding (with the exception of a 9 stud '68 Bonnie I had 20 odd years ago).

    Great looks, great stopping ablity, fast enough for a cruser its size. But I would like more torque and it has a noisy motor. For the price its a pretty good buy.

    Reasonable bike. Better value than overpriced Bonny but you need to pay a lot on extras to make it a decent bike. Too many low mileage second hand bikes can affect re-sale value if you like to do the miles.

    The Triumph Speedmaster is a great bike I was getting fed up with the constant changes made to the R1 and the retro style will only have small changes. For me not been a traditional triumph owner I love the smoothe lines of the new tank, it was the deciding factor for me buying the speedmaster along with the FI.

    Replaced ugly shell shaped rear foot rests with new shape chrome hangers looks stunning.

    I have had my Triumph Speedmaster about 6 months. It is a good looking middle weight cruiser. The riding position is cool but if you have a dodgy back or shoulder problems you will want to look at changing the handlebars if you plan long trips. The need to keep the revs up for speed make this bike better for shorter trips than touring in my view. This is a personal preference as I prefer larger lazy engines for touring. I am sure some people would be happy covering the miles on this bike. Two up ...
