Actually, other than the forward foot peg location on the Speedies and that everything isn't blacked out on it like on the Yamaha, I think the Speedy actually DOES fit into this much too abbreviated and so-called "comparison test" here.
Could not the present generation of Speedies be defined as "Bobberize Americas", what with their cut down fenders?
And, haven't we seen many a "comparison test" done in the past between this Triumph model and the Sportsters?
(...I think that Brit was over-emphasizing the chrome on the Triumph, if you ask me)
