Ok, firstly i would like to thank all those who gave advice on my last newbie question (Help and Advice, Tuesday). I have given this some serious thought and this evening i have had my head stuck into the Triumph Motorcycle book looking at the difference between the Speedmaster and the America. The problem is, there are parts of both bikes that i love (pipes, seat, wheels and brakes on the Speedmaster and Chrome, paint and the bars of the America). So the question is, You can spend a lot on extras to change both styles of bike but do they perform differently? Do the slash exhausts make a difference on performance on the Speedmaster over the America or is it just sound and looks? Is it worth paying the extra for one over the other? My extras list has already reached £1000. Are there any extras i should avoid? Sorry if these seem lame questions to you experts but it's proving harder than i thought it would.
