... Still, pretty damn impressive that Triumph won two, but no way does the Speedmaster handle like a sportbike or hold its own against bigger Twins. Sorry.

Heck... it was worth a shot



Nice.
Personally never ridden a Sport Bike but I "really" liked how my America handled the "Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, NC" and I didn't even begin to push it.
At least it didn't do this
(bike at actual Tail of the Dragon road)

Also never rode a "big??" vtwin but my America can ride highway all day long...maybe Cycle World ought to try it. But...again...I may be wrong since I've never experienced a BIG bike.

Soren, thanks for writing Cycle World..impressed they responded.
