Triumph Speedmaster (1200cc)
The Speedmaster seems a little overlooked, as Triumph's copy of an HD Softail.
But it's EXCELLENT.
It is supremely comfortable, and handles very well, with a lot of grunt, not too much weight, and a very light-feeling front end. The tank, seat, and general lines, are beautiful and classic. The beach bars and forward controls make for a very laid back but easy riding position, and it is a LOT of fun to ride. The exhaust note is the best from a factory exhaust I've heard, honestly! It is not too loud, not quiet, just a beautiful deep thrum from the 1200 twin. I added a Madstad windshield, bags, a sissy bar, and bobbins for chain maintenance, and that is all it needed. It comes with just enough features, and the cruise control is easy and intuitive. making it good for long rides. Beautiful, reliable, fun, and easy. Take this thing to the cafe, or across country, it is a very gratifying, pretty, and functional road cruiser. (I like it better than the HD Softail, too. Not as heavy, hot, loud, or difficult. I never had to make any excuses for this Triumph. Fantastic bike!)
