Looking for input...anyone have experince with the TBS and Speedy...looking for Pros and Cons...of each.
I like my speedy (T-Bike Pipes, 904, Belt Drive...see pics in my gallery), but looking for something sportier for 2 up riding/touring...my Bonneville will still be my main bike...
Opinions?

i personally say keep it since there is so much put into it. with the 904 you still need more when 2 up? either way at least your staying with triumph

No the 904 is great for 2up...I just am kinda bored with the cruiser style...I want something more unique.
>at least your staying with triumph
Absolutely...if I had the room I'd keep the speedy and get a TBS as well...but there are 4 plus bikes in the garage right now (2 T's, 1+ kz "projects", and a buddy's '70 CB750). I would really like to get down to two bikes.

gregzilla,(I hear the waters of Tokyo Bay are pretty cold)
My first question is.......Does Ted Turner know that you're planning a hostile takeover of his vast television empire?
My second question is...If you're talkin' about a bike here...what is a TBS?
My third question is......Your friend's Honda K1...what kind of shape is it in?

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Keep the Speedy and get a Sprint ST if you're looking for sportier. Otherwise I don't see the TBS as looking any more sport rider oriented than what you're cruising on now. You've invested a chunk of cash, why not enjoy it?

gregzilla(watch out for that wimpy looking little Japanese scientist...he's got somethin' that could cause you serious hoit),
Of course, the T-bird Sport! I had forgotten about that cool ride. But as nice a standard bike as it is, I'd stay with the Speedie. It may be a bit slower, but the Twin is just cooler in my book and a lot better looking.

Hmmm a great two-up traveling ride, that isnt a cruiser? Find yourself a Trophy.  Soren
