Hey guys, I have a couple questions...

I've been riding a T100 for a year now. Love it for the most part. But it's not the most comfortable bike for hwy riding (hard to avoid around Houston) or for two-up. I was wondering if the speedmaster would be a good way to go. I really want to stay with Triumph, I just need something that makes a tad more sense for the riding I'm doing. I know I could look at the America too but there is something about the speedy that is just a bit more attractive too me... it's more sporty looking or something. I thought I could quickly swap out the seat for a nice dual seat with backrest for two-up riding and go back to a nice single with grab rail when i'm out with the boyz. My pillion wants to go out riding, but after 200 miles with frequent stops (6 hours from the time we left the house till the time we got home) she was in pain and couldn't wait to get off. And that was with my corbin gunfighter/lady with backrest! And the wind didn't help matters. I could put a windscreen on the bonnie but it seems out of place so i just have a flyscreen which takes the buffeting away but not the wind.
So what do you guys think? Speedy does well in the twisties? Opinions from pillions? Suggestions for seats in that respect? What about around town?
If I decide to trade (and unfortunately i can only have one)I want to go all black with just a little chrome. I love this pic... it makes me soil myself.

But maybe do even more black like black powdercoated fork tubes. And probably the sceptre exhaust or staintunes. And i'll have to find some good saddlebags. And of course a good windscreen. And maybe a light bar for the front. And....

And I have to find a 2005 or below to get all black, right?
When did the Speedy switch from 790cc to 865cc?

Anything else I should think about?

Thanks!
