If there were other bikes that were extremely similar to the speedmaster then i could see the argument "why did you buy it if you want quick?". But what you guys are missing is that people who buy them do so because they like everything else about the bike so much that they will live with the lack of power but not that they didn't WANT more. In other words, they had a choice but liked the bike so much more than anything else that the lack of power/speed was not enough to make them pass and go elsewhere. Thats how i feel about it too. There are tons of much quicker bikes, but none do anything for me by comparision. So i compromised and lived with the lack of power, but that doesn't mean i don't wish it had more !
One of these people is our own Dinqua. Do you think he'd have gone thru all he has if he liked any other bike near as much? After all, he could spend 1/2 or less of what he's spent on the bike so far and but any Jap bike he wanted and instantly have a much quicker bike than his w/o having toi even buy a single aftermarket part.
That my friends is why those of us who seem to want more and more power from our triumph cruisers DIDN'T buy the wrong bike.No bike is perfect and knowing there is always a compromise, i chose the one that was closest to perfect to me. It just happens it's weak point is power.
