Speedmaster. 799cc or 865cc?

Hi Yeti, I have the 865 with hi flow pipes on and find no power difference over standard. Don't no about 799 though.

Cosmetically the bikes are quite different but to ride would think not so.

 

Hi Yeti

I have the 865 as well. Regarding power there really isn't much anyway, the book says 54 bhp.

If it's power you are after, look elsewhere.

Where this bike scores is chilled out cruising, though saying that it can get a wiggle on if needed and the handling isn't too bad for a twin shock set up.

Mine came with the short Triumph slash pipes and sounds good, if you get these make sure it is remapped if efi as it runs very rich if not, suspect the carb version will suffer similar troubles but have no experience.

Only cost me £30 at a Triumph dealer and worth every penny, they also balanced the cylinders.

Honest opinion, is it a good bike, yes. Could I have it is my only bike, no. Should I move it on, no way! she's a keeper.

Some days you just need to chill out.

 

Hi Yeti, I have the 2005 865cc it is a brilliant ride just done 680 mile and it didn't miss a beat ,I have altered the sprockets to a 19t which gets better fuel economy and lowers the rev's , to my knowledge there isn't a great deal of difference between the 790cc and the 865cc but I love it you won't regret buying either , I have the long TOR exhausts which sound sweet and give it a real bike sound , hope this helps :upyeah:

 

+ 1 on the sprocket.

It makes a world of difference
