I am an old fart and I am very happy to tool along at 60 to 65 MPH on my 07 Speedmaster. At that speed it is turning 3,500 to 4,000 RPW and is velvet smooth and a pleasure to enjoy. I like to enjoy the scenery and at 70 MPH or above I must spend too much time paying attention to the roadway and the bike than the scenery so I enjoy going slower.
I took a trip recently from LV to Alamo Nevada along Rt 93. It was over 230 miles each way and although long and tiring I enjoyed it completely. I opened it up on some of those lonely stretches of highway to over 100 MPH and the bike was still solid and vibration free.
The bike is pretty much easy to take care of as it only requires a cleaning and oiling of the chain every couple of weeks and I change my oil at 4K. The big expense will be to adjust the valves at 12K but I have a buddy with all the tools and knowhow to get the job done and save the expense of going to the dealer for that service.
It's cheap to keep and run and a pleasure to ride. Plus all these old people keep coming up to me and telling me their stories of the Triumphs they used to have etc.
07 Speedmstr, Long Tors, bags, sissy bar and rack, windshield, engine bars, 2 ww lights, 2 fast eddy stickers and a .45 ACP.
