I went to the local Triumph shop and had a quick ride on the Speedmaster.The test track at the back of their shop was very small. I couldn't get out of 1st gear so it wasn't a test ride by any means. My first impressions are.It's small.I felt a bit like Yogi bear on a bicycle but 1200cc in a small package should be potent.It seemed willing enough on take off. I didn't like the bars much and I'd definitely need the touring seat for my big backside.I didn't ground the pegs on a small track with sharp turns so that's good.It looks good .I will be keeping my America and leaving my options open on the NSM.I wouldn't be buying it here in Thailand anyway .It's about A$5,000 more than Australia.

I put this in "other bikes" section
