2008 Speedmaster
For 2008: "The Speedmaster’s
new seamless, teardrop-shaped tank gives larger capacity
and looks great with its chromed badges and hand painted
coach lines. "
Dark, brooding lines and a
pared-down hot-rod essence make the Speedmaster a
standout middleweight cruiser from every angle.
The heart and soul of any motorcycle is its engine, and
the Speedmaster’s 865cc, DOHC, eight-valve, air-cooled
parallel twin-cylinder engine uses a 270° crank firing
interval, giving a throbbing beat and smooth,
torque-laden power delivery. Both cylinders vent through
a pair of deep-chromed slash-cut silencers while the
satin black engine finish adds a crisp, understated edge
to the handsome lines of what is a very distinctive and
evocative power plant.
The riding position supports and ‘cups’ the rider into
the gunslinger seat ready to launch at the horizon.
Upper fork shrouds add even more style, while high
risers mount the flat ‘drag’ handlebars on the
slab-style top yoke and match the chromed forward set
footpegs.
The Speedmaster wears a pair of cast wheels, with a
crisp look all of their own; the 18 inch front wears a
110/80 tyre, the 15 inch rear a 170/80. The twin shocks
and wide-style telescopic forks straighten the curves
and iron out the bumps, giving a planted and supple
ride. Twin 310mm front discs – gripped by twin-piston
calipers – haul the Speedmaster up extremely hard.
If the Speedmaster’s bare bones want a little more flesh
on them, the ever-expanding Triumph accessory range
features an array of bolt-ons specifically designed to
lend even more appeal and individuality.
With its punchy engine, mean looks and souped-up chassis
the Speedmaster is the very essence of an old-school
street rod, packing performance and style into one very
individual motorcycle.
