2018 Speedmaster

A couple of things bug me about the photo. It looks more like an America than a Speedmaster. 1) the front tire is fat. A Speedy has a skinny front. 2) the engine cases are polished like an America. A Speedy should have black cases.

Having ridden a few bikes with the new 1200cc motor, this should be a blast!!

I tested the BOBBER and that was fun

I would bet by the time Triumph officially releases it there will be a few versions to choose from. The feet forward are like the original America and Speedmaster, which I have and like. I have ridden the 900 and 1200 versions of the new bikes and both are fun.

I hope is has a 6 speed tranny.

It was revealed just after the launch of the bobber. You can see it is based on the bobber frame.

Yup, like he says. It's a Bobber with a rear fender attached to the seat so you can probably expect to the same configurations available. Still hoping they make the America out of the 900 engine so they can get some range in their cruiser line. Also curious to see where the deal with the indian manufacture is going for producing smaller engines, then Triumph can have a genuine entry level bike.

I still prefer dual rear shocks vs the fake hardtale look.

D@mn Jag, now I have to buy TWO and be 100cc ahead.

And a 100cc scooter, then you will be all set

A faux hardtail is a softtail! If the monoshock is tuned right it should be a spectacular ride!
