Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a newbie to the site and to the world of Triumph. I have been ‘sans’ motorbike for a few years after my domestic situation changed and found myself as a single pop. Unfortunately the ‘toys’ had to go. My last ride being a Yamaha V-Max. I have been a scrimping and a saving for a number of years and have scratched together some pocket money, which I’d like to use to get myself again upon two wheels. I am favouring the Speedmaster and would welcome any advice and suggestions?
Good evening everyone and thank you for the warm welcome. Dozers Dad: I’m thinking that my budget will afford me the 865.
Have you had a chance to try a couple out yet? The America may be up your street as well. Not sure of the prices though.
I’ve had a ‘dry hump’ so to speak, having sat on a few models at the local Triumph dealership. I did find the bobber and the Speedmaster most comfortable, certainly meeting my ‘knees in the breeze’ and feet forward sensibilities. But I note your advice and will seek a good solid ride before I decide.
