I was in the exact same boat about 4 months ago, was less than a week away from buying a nightster (kind of a blacked out bobbed sportster)very nice bike. I have a Harley but wanted something smaller, better in the twisties.
Had seen someone around here with a speedmaster and rode with another guy that had one. Found this site did a little research and the rest is history. I have put about 3k miles on it and so far i couldnt be happier with it, power, handeling, the overall ride. Gets alot of looks too, if you go with it you wont be sorry!
