I've been watching this 1500 story for a while now and as a very happy owner of an 03 Speedy I've been weighing up the deal.

We all started talking about the extra hp/tq we would get and how in many opinions, including my own, that is all the America/Speedy was missing. But as the story unfolded with inclusion of the water bucket then the shaft drive the thoughts turned to handling and weight. Realistically I cant see this bike being a Speedy with a 1500 as in the photoshops we've been joking about (cheers Ed ), I'm starting to get the feeling that the 1500 is going to be more of a cut down Rocket.

For me the comfort, ergonomics and handling is more of a plus than the lack of power is a negative so the 904 kit is starting to look real, real good.

Hey maybe I'll be wrong, only time will tell.


...yes, that is a single seat...no, I will not put the other seat on...yes, I am selfish...yes, you should buy your own bike
