    Hi;


    NUBE here old enough to have ridden a Triumph 350 back in the 60’s, had several bikes through the years but haven’t rode a motorcycle since 1980. I have been riding a scooter for the last twelve years currently riding a Vespa 300 but now I want a larger bike.
    The new 2018 Bonneville Speedmaster has caught my eye I think it would fill my wants and needs.
    Couple of questions:
    Has the Speedmaster been reliable?
    Any reason I should hesitate on getting one?
    Will the 2019 be much different? Would like to see tubeless tires on it.

    Ron otherwise known as rajron

    Welcome in Ron, best keep the scooter riding to yourself!
    Get yourself a test ride on the Speedmaster, Dilli did, now he has one! :cool:

    Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in.
    The best advice I can give you is buy a BLACK One as they go faster and go up in price.

    Welcome Ron.

    I know a few guys who have the Speedmaster, and like Dilli they all love them.

    Thank You for the welcomes.

    I will take a test ride after I see the 2019's - I want to see what will be different.
    If I take a test ride now most likely I will break my rule of not buying a first year model, it is hard waiting but then again I can save more money.
