Hey All,

New speedmaster owner here. I have really enjoyed all the info on this site. I sold my 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 classic fi, for the Speedmaster, and I love this bike. What a change from that heavy crusier. Sure the 1500 had some power, but I'd rather be a bit more nimble on the road.I'm totally getting into this "Triumph thing"Keep the info coming!
Mike

He got the black one Dazco.....black is the color of mystery, evil, power, dignity, and should I say it....death. You gotta be one tough cookie to choose black! Congrats on a wise purchase MML! Triumph rocks!
:-D :-D

Sorry but your boaf wrong. I got the Tornado Red/Black. I had my choice of colors, but the red just had that classic Triumph look. So far I have added the foot boards and the Triumph long slash cut pipes, that $500 free stuff was sure nice!

Welcome. I have the neon blue/black 2005 SM. Just rolled over 4.5k and will tell you I have not had a bike I have enjoyed riding as much as my speedie.
