    Hi guys,

    I am looking to pick up a triumph speedmaster 2009, and want to know if there is anything i should be lookin for.

    It has got a different seat and exhausts but is being supplied with the originals, but what should i keep in mind and check for specifically.

    First bike im buying as usually i get hand me downs from father so any auggestions would be great

    Luke

    Hi mate and welcome
    09 Speedmaster :cool: was my last bike before trading it in for a 2018 Speedmaster :grinning:
    Had my 09 for two years and never had a problem with it except for self inflicted ones because I was always doing things to it :)
    Certainly not the best handling bike I’ve ever had but as long as you’re not expecting sports bike handling it’s a fine bike :cool:
    Fuel tank is good for nigh on 200mls:eek:
    Engine and gearbox are very nice and strong :)
    If it’s still got the Metzeler tyres fitted :( then budget to get them changed cos they’re CRAP :poop:
    Avon’s are a recommended replacement and totally transformed my bike for the better :)
    Get ready to spend lots of money and time customising it because it’s addictive :p

    Not a lot to fault on the speed masters. If you like it it runs sweet has service history and at the right price go for it and send us a picture and any queries we will do our best to help you.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy

    Looks nice that mate :cool:
    Just pretend it’s a Triumph :)
    Half of them on here probably won’t know the difference and the rest of us are just pleased that you’re getting a bike that you want :p
