Hi all...been dreamin of a 2020 Speedmaster BUT, at 6'3 and 240 pounds(US), I worry about the speedy being to small for me...watchathink???? PS...no ride at all...for now........
Welcome from Iowa. Just go for a test ride and find out. Speed Masters have a 1200cc prime mover that equates to 77 HP. Nice for getting around and not going crazy. Think of it as a smaller Harley with better character and flair.
Thanks for the welcome...back in the early 60's, 2 neighbors had an older Indian and another had a Harley...they worked on ' em more than road...by 1964 I had a Honda 125 scrambler that never needed more than gas/oil...at this point, I don't want a stretched out heavyweight...just something fun... I do need a test ride but nearest dealer 200mi away...and if I test rode and liked, it would havvta come home with me...wife may shoot me BUT, I do have a camper trailer w/AC, so I can hide out.......
Hi mate and welcome I have just traded my 1200 Speedmaster for a Rocket 3R I absolutely loved the speedmaster and at 5ft10 and half found it all day comfortable The engine is surprisingly strong and willing and married to a silky smooth transmission It is a VERY good bike The stance of the bike is a bit on the small side though so at 6ft3 I would definitely recommend a test ride
Hi Jack and welcome to the forum at 6’ I find the Bonneville Speedmaster comfy, you may want to look at the higher bars but it will depend on your riding preference. I added spacers and rotated the bars to lift for straight back. Edit- found good pic of risers
Thanks for the hellos...and dart, thanks for the pics...risers were already in thought as a possible solution....
Hi madjack & Welcome to the Forum I am 6'3 & 225 (English) pounds, believe me whatever you ride these days is gonna feel small!
