Sorry to go against the grain here, and correct me if I am wrong, but. as far as I am aware large front wheels slow steering down, so , why put a smaller wheel on the America which has always been more of a cruiser with the higher bars, and then put a larger wheel on the Speedmaster which has always been targeted as a more mean, hot rodded style bike? me thinks it should be the other way round.
As for loosing a disc off the front, sorry big mistake!.
The rear pegs have been relocated forwards which means sales will fall at newspeedmaster.com as lots of people, me included, have forked out for their items to do just this.
Why a lower seat height? the old one wasnt really stratospheric now was it!.
Chopped of rear mudguard and smaller front one look okay, I will admit that.
What most of us wanted was a 6th gear, a bit more ooomph if possible (904cc anyone)and a more reasonable pillion seat(so we didnt have to fork out for the America one).
I agree with SOREN the 2007 Speedmaster is looking more like the defining model ( did I mention I have one?) as the new one seems to be morhping into something different
