I hear this same thing from my harley friends all the time. They go buy a sportster 883 and immediately start complaining about power and wanted to trade up. If you want a big 800 lb gorilla, then why not buy one to start with. For me my 03 speedy has been just what I wanted. Did a few mod's to make it my own and the standard stuff to unleash the power that it has available. For 20k miles its been a solid bike. I have no desire for a bigger cruiser. I do, I have to admit, lust after the new ducati 1098, sprint st, tiger, Aprilla, and about a dozen or so other bikes. None of them cruisers. I all ready have the perfect cruiser. I almost bought a bmw R1150R before I got the speedy. Even went to get it on a saturday after checking it out a few days before. Only reason I didn't get it was the dealer couldn't prep the bike that day. They did offer to get it ready and deliver it to me free of charge. I said I'd let him know. Then happened upon the triumph dealer and brought home my speedy the next day. And there you go....
