I'm almost 76 from Minnesota and I just found your channel and this video. I bought my first motorcycle when I was 15 and my first Triumph in 1969 when I was stationed at Ft Bragg, NC. That bike was followed up by a couple of more Triumphs when I got out of the service. Then came the Harleys but I still have some Triumph blood running through my veins. I sold my last Harley 2 years ago due to a sudden injury that I didn't think I would recover from but I did recover and actually I'm better than ever now. Now I've discovered this Speedmaster and it looks like a perfect bike for me! Low center of gravity? Now that's a refreshing thought isn't it. And the fact that it's t least 250-300 lbs lighter than the Harleys doesn't hurt either. i am now seriously thinking about picking one of these bikes up. Thanks for the video
@daviddejong187 Thanks for sharing your story, it's always nice to see the human side of UA-cam! I can't say enough good things about the Speedmaster and as much as I like our Ultra Limited, the Triumph takes first place in daily bike riding! Thanks for watching, take care! 🍻 Mick.
I bought a leftover ‘22 Speedmaster about a year and a half ago. Most of my complaints are the same as yours. The cases show water marks, apply elbow grease and polish as necessary. The fuel gauge is pessimistic. It shows empty but I can only get a shade over two and a half gallons into the tank and frankly I’m fine with that. I’m not a fan of pushing my bike down a highway looking for the next gas station. Here in NC, the metal trim inside the speedo reflects sunlight right into my eyes if I look down. I had thought that the twin clocks of the Bonneville would have been a better choice but I’ve grown to accept the single clock. Like yours, the headlight on mine was good for illuminating the trees when it left the dealership and it is fiddly to adjust. My biggest complaint is the dealership isn’t close by and it’s primarily an Indian dealer with Triumph as a sideline.
@@gwynnromano5881 Thanks for your comments. If Triumph would produce a trim ring similar to the clocks on the T120 I'd be a happy boy!! Cheers and thanks for watching. 🍻
Hey Guvna, I have a Harley and a few old Enfields. I got a chance to test ride bike and obviously enjoyed the smoothness and relaxed feeling. Definitely getting ready to pull the trigger on one. I agreed the two tone paint makes for a better look.
@@waffleridersmoto4191 I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed. The issues I mentioned are all fairly minor, it really is a cracking motorbike! Cheers and thanks for watching. 🍻
Good review, I can't believe they had a chrome as a demo. I use turtle wax graphene flex wax spray on my aluminum. No spots so far. We have the same amount of subs! 😂😂 Cheers buddy
Agree with everything u said Don't like horn Stock mirror And no USB point. I hate the back mono shock might have to upgrade to ohlins. I weigh 220 pounds. i got 152 miles on full tank I was carrying a fuel can to find this.. But i observed power drops after 120 miles.

@Fourwedge I was very surprised myself! I bought it with 89 miles on it. Thanks for the Turtle Wax tip and nice Bonne BTW! Cheers! 🍻

Thanks for the feedback, interesting that you're looking to change the shock out. I'd be interested to hear how it goes. Cheers! 🍻
@Guvnarides-WI2020 in future cannot afford it now.
12:20 Wash with baby shampoo. We ride the same motorcycle
Thanks for the tip! 🍻
