Nobby,
That seems a fair question to ask. No catastrophe at all, the Speedmaster was love at first sight, without question, but after the shine wore off I though it was underpowered and uncomfortable (again, I'll expect some shelling on this also.) If Triumph made a Cruiser with some power, other than that circus wagon they call a Rocket III, I'd scarf it up right away. Any other S.M. or B.A. owners praying for a bigger power plant? Be honest now. I sincerely hated to leave the Triumph family but they didn't offer anything I wanted. A sad but simple fact.
Happy Riding,
Dave
