Speedmaster
After the phenomenal success of the America, it is no surprise that some riders wanted more of the same – but different. They wanted a tougher look to last year’s cruiser sensation. So here it is. Brand new for 2003: the Speedmaster.
A pared-down, raw-boned, hot-rod version of the bike that’s already swept clean through people’s perceptions of cruisers. Built on the same low-slung chassis and powered by the 790cc twin-cylinder engine that has already captivated legions of new Triumph customers, the Speedmaster is tailored for riders who like their cruisers built for speed, as well as comfort.
Triumph’s celebrated 270 degree crank, DOHC, eight-valve engine provides the power and this time it breathes out via dual, deep-chromed pipes, the off beat engine note reverberating through. The crinkle-black finish on the engine covers and silver finished cylinder head fins emphasise the purposeful nature of the machine.
The riding position too, is slightly more aggressive. Flat bars on risers pull back from the slab top-yoke and matched to heavy-chrome forward pegs, the rider sits snug in a gunfighter-style seat with scalloped support – ready to launch the Speedmaster into the distance with a twist of throttle. And when it’s time to call a halt to things, there are now twin disc brakes up front and at the back a classic machine-turned finish shows off the new cast rear wheel.
The Speedmaster is steeped in the stateside world of speed where minimal decoration and maximum effectiveness are what is respected – where fancy touches give way to sheer function. The rev-counter is housed in the tank nacelle, where it’s visible at a quick glance, directly beneath the white-faced speedo angled back into the rider’s eye view from its top-yoke mounting.
The 16.6 litre fuel tank means the Speedmaster can go the distance and the twin shock rear end and wide-style front suspension is more than capable of ironing out the curves and taking the bumps out of grinding out the miles. And if the Speedmaster’s a bit too minimalist for some, there’s always the ever-expanding Triumph accessory range to put a bit more meat on its bones.
