I'm taking delivery at the end of the month. On a test ride this week, I found: - easy handling - despite being 245kg (dry) it doesn't feel it (and I'm paranoid about weight) - beach bars, comfort, reach all good - suspension not really tested - excellent braking, cornering - despite going round roundabouts quite aggressively (for me!) I didn't scrape pegs. Not trying hard enough! In summary, I thought it was great fun. Beerman
Your a lucky man Got my heart set on one of these but can’t do it at the moment I’ll wait until you trade yours in
I had one out a couple of weeks ago and agree on handling and brakes. Not keen on seats so ordered the comfort ones Take delivery the end of this month so hope weather improves
Yes, the seats...I think I will put the Highway pack on it which comes with the comfort seats - are you adding anything else other than the seats? I sure hope the weather does improve - I went out last night on the Guzzi for the first time in weeks. Cheers, Beerman
Hi Beerman I'm also in for a speedmaster to be delivered at the end of March, begining of April; waiting on the dealer to confirm actual delivery date. Can't wait to get my hands on the new steed........ Wessa
Hi Wessa, have you been for a ride yet? The only real drawback I've read about is that it's supposedly very easy to scrape the pegs. I didn't manage it. I've taken it as an indication that my riding style may be on the careful side! Beerman
Or for most of the money you could have a watch!!! https://www.bucherer.com/uk/omega-s...2ijVa6T9Tis2k2S9peAY4iGNIQMNG24hoCwfMQAvD_BwE
I think you lot are really mean to Dilligaf! Maybe he should take you on a personal tour of the "pit of misery - Dilli Dilli!"
Nope I'm hoping to get a ride when the weather improves. I've also read that it is easy to scrape the pegs, something I will look out for. Wessa
Picking mine up tomorrow, much of the same, I really did try to ground the pegs on a couple roundabouts out of curiosity but could not manage it. I would imagine you could do it but why! It is a super comfortable mile munching cruiser and I ordered mine as soon as I returned to the dealer.
Don’t forget the guys who report being easy to scrape the pegs are invariably bike journalists, who predominantly are into sports bikes, so not really a good indicator if your riding style is “steady away”.
