2010 Triumph Speedmaster

With its bad boy good looks the Speedmaster is a tough-looking, no-nonsense sports cruiser that’s dripping with attitude.

Powered by a fuel injected, 270º crankshaft version of Triumph’s distinctive 865cc parallel twin engine, this stripped down factory custom delivers peak power of 61PS at 6,800rpm, with maximum torque of 72Nm available at just 3,300rpm.

Minimalism is key to the bike’s harder edge, with slash cut silencers, black engine covers, black cast wheels, 18 inch at the front and 15 inch at the rear, add to the hot rod look, although the minimalist approach stops when it comes to the braking. Twin 310mm front discs – gripped by twin-piston calipers – bring the
Speedmaster to a halt with power and assurance, while the twin shocks and widestyle telescopic forks make for a planted and supple ride.

Completing the sleek look is a restyled-for-2010 style speedometer, which is perched neatly on the top yolk and in the rider’s sightline, and a small revcounter mounted discretely on the fuel tank nacelle for added functionality.

The Speedmaster comes in two moody black colour options for 2010: single-tone Phantom Black or the same colour with a New England White infill.
