I have an 07 Mulberry Red Speedy, also have owned an 04 America. I also own an 08 Harley Fatbob. I was planning on spending 3k upgrading the Harley's motor but am realizing even with the upgrade the brakes and handling won't be up to par, although the Fatbob handles amazingly well for a #650 bike. I love my Speedy, but have a few issues with it and am wondering if I should just sell it and get a Thruxton. I am happy with the power (have done the AI, D&D exhaust, re-jetted) but could always use more power. Does the Thruxton with the hotter cams make an appreciable power improvement? My second gripe with the Speedy is the terrible rear suspension, compared to the Fatbob, its like riding a brick. (I know I can upgrade) I'm kinda thinking the back roads would be more fun if I was in the Thruxton riding position but the Speedy handles well. Does the Thruxton suspension need upgrading as well and is the Handling of the Thruxton significantly better than the Speedys??
