Just Curious

I'm not trying to "Stir the Pot," I just have always wondered why the Speedmaster is lumped in here with the Rocket and the America. Why is it not in with the Bonnies? After all, it is the "Bonneviille Speedmaster." Just curious.

 

Really like your America. When I was shopping, the dealer had a used America and a used Thunderbird on the floor. I'm a die-hard cruiser rider. I really like the styling on both. If Triumph still made the America, I would have bought one. I seriously considered buying the pre-owned one there. However, even though both appeared to be in great shape with low mileage, I didn't want to deal with the uncertainty of a used vehicle. The Speedmaster has turned out to be a great choice, albeit a bit on the small side for me (6' 2", 200 lbs.). I had to get highway bars so I could install pegs for a little more stretch and add the inch up/inch back handlebar risers. I had the seat rebuilt/modified with an upholsterer incorporating a gel seat into it. Other than that, she does everything I ask of her.

 

Andy, STOP!

No more pix of your America.

I found myself trolling Facebook Marketplace and Ebay Motors for pre-owned Americas after seeing your bike.

Shhhh... Don't tell my Speedy!
