2003 Triumph 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 years cruiser sensation. So here it is. Brand new for 2003: the Speedmaster.
A pared-down, raw-boned, hot-rod version of the bike thats already swept clean through peoples 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.
Triumphs 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 its 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 its visible at a quick glance, directly beneath the white-faced speedo angled back into the riders 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 Speedmasters a bit too minimalist for some, theres always the ever-expanding Triumph accessory range to put a bit more meat on its bones.

2004 Triumph Speedmaster
 
 
Just as the America re-defined a lot of perceptions about cruising motorcycles, so the Speedmaster defines a fast-developing niche that exists for more performance-orientated cruisers.
The Speedmaster is built around the Americas proven low-slung chassis and 790cc twin-cylinder engine but has the tougher, pared-down look of a bare-knuckle hot rod. The DOHC eight-valve air-cooled engine uses the same 270° crankshaft firing interval as the America but vents through a pair of long, deep-chromed silencers. The satin-black engine finish adds a crisp edge to the Speedmasters handsome lines as does the slightly more aggressive riding position. High risers mount the flat drag handlebars on the slab-style top yoke and match the chromed, forward-set footpegs.
Minimalism is key to the Speedmasters ethos. The rev-counter is mounted discretely on the fuel-tank nacelle while the large round white-faced speedo perches above the top-yoke. The tank itself holds 16.6 litres of fuel (4.4 gal US), giving a useful range. The Speedmasters paint options of Jet Black with Tornado Red or Racing Yellow infills are joined in 2004 with an infill of Sky Blue. Alternatively, for those who prefer simplicity, a plain Jet Black option is available.
Twin front discs gripped by twin-piston calipers haul the Speedmaster up hard. Cast wheels add style the 18-inch front wears a 110/80 tyre, the nearly solid 15-inch rear a 170/80 - and the twin shocks and wide-style telescopic forks straighten the curves and iron out the bumps, giving a controlled and supple ride.
And if the Speedmasters bare bones want a little more flesh on them
the Triumph accessory range features an array of bolt-ons specifically designed to give the Speedmaster even more edge.

2005 Triumph Speedmaster
  
Dark, brooding lines and a pared-down hot-rod essence make the Speedmaster a standout middleweight cruiser from every angle. Its a bike with attitude, always ready for action, ready to go somewhere, fast.
And going somewhere is what the Speedmaster is all about. Its 865cc, DOHC, eight-valve, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine uses a 270° crank firing interval, giving a throbbing beat and smooth, torque-laden power delivery. Peak power of 55PS arrives at 6,500rpm, with maximum torque of 68Nm available at just 3,500rpm. Both cylinders vent through a pair of long, deep-chromed silencers while the satin-black engine finish adds a crisp, understated edge to the handsome lines of what is a very distinctive and evocative powerplant.
The riding position too, which is slightly more aggressive than the usual laid-back cruising stance, sets the Speedmaster apart. High risers mount the flat drag handlebars on the slab-style top yoke and match the chromed, forward-set footpegs, which are set high for greater ground clearance. The rider sits supported and cupped into the bike in the gunslinger seat, ready to launch the Speedmaster at the horizon.
Cast wheels add style the 18-inch front wears a 110/80 tyre, the near-solid 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 hard.
Minimalism is key to the Speedmaster ethos. The rev-counter is mounted discretely on the fuel-tank nacelle, the large round white-faced speedo perches cleanly in the riders line of sight on its top-yoke mounting. The tank itself holds 16.6 litres of fuel, giving a useful range. The Speedmaster paint options of plain Jet Black and Jet Black with Tornado Red infill are joined in 2005 by Jet Black plus infill of Neon Blue. And if the Speedmaster bare bones want a little more flesh on them, the Triumph accessory range features an array of bolt-ons specifically designed to lend even more appeal and individuality.

2006 Triumph Speedmaster
 
Dark, brooding lines and a pared-down hot-rod essence make the Speedmaster a standout middleweight cruiser from every angle. Its 865cc, parallel twin-cylinder engine uses a 270° crank firing interval, giving a distinctive throbbing beat and smooth, torque-laden power delivery. Peak power of 55PS arrives at 6,500rpm, with maximum torque of 68Nm available at just 3,500rpm. Both cylinders vent through a pair of long, deep-chromed silencers while the satin-black engine finish adds a crisp, understated edge to the handsome lines of what is a very evocative powerplant.
The riding position too, which is slightly more purposeful than the usual laid-back cruising stance, sets the Speedmaster apart. High risers mount the flat 'drag' handlebars on the slab-style top yoke and match the chromed, forward-set footpegs. The rider sits supported and 'cupped' into the gunslinger seat, ready to launch at the horizon.
Cast wheels add style - the 18-inch front wears a 110/80 tyre, the near-solid 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.
As a hot-rodded 'Factory Custom', the Speedmaster proves the ethos of less is more, and minimalism is key to the bike's harder edge. The rev-counter is mounted discretely on the fuel-tank nacelle, the large round white-faced speedo perches cleanly in the rider's line of sight on its top-yoke mounting. The tank itself holds 16.6 litres of fuel, giving a useful range. The Speedmaster's paint options are plain Jet Black, Jet Black with Sunset Red infill and Jet Black with Neon Blue infill.
If the Speedmaster's bare bones want a little more flesh on them, the 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.
To some, the America is just perfect as it rolls out of the factory. To others its simply the starting point

2007 Triumph Speedmaster
 
 
MEAN AND MOODY
Dark, brooding lines and a pared-down hot-rod essence make the Speedmaster a standout middleweight cruiser from every angle. Triumph has not rested on the success of the Speedmaster however and, for 2007, a whole host of detail improvements have made the bike even more special.
The heart and soul of any motorcycle is its engine, and the Speedmasters 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. Peak power of 55PS (54bhp) arrives at 6750rpm, with maximum torque of 69Nm (51ft.lbf) available at just 4800rpm. Both cylinders vent through a new 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 too, which is slightly more aggressive than the usual laid-back cruising stance, supports and cups the rider into the gunslinger seat ready to launch at the horizon. Brand new 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 revised pillion footrest hangers and chain cover complement the bikes Spartan simplicity.
The Speedmaster wears a pair of brand new 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.
As a hot-rodded Factory Custom, the Speedmaster proves the ethos of less is more, and minimalism is key to the bikes harder edge. The rev-counter is mounted discretely on the fuel tank nacelle, the large round white-faced speedo perches cleanly in the riders line of sight on its top-yoke mounting. The tank itself holds 16.6 litres of fuel, giving a useful range. Four stunning new paint options are available for 2007: Phantom Black and Sunset Red infill with gold coach line, Phantom Black and Tornado Red infill with silver coach line and single tone Phantom Black or Mulberry Red.
Plus, if the Speedmasters 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.

2008 Triumph Speedmaster
With its dark, brooding lines and a pared-down hot-rod essence, the Speedmaster is a standout middleweight cruiser from every angle. Punchy 865cc 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.
At the heart of the Speedmaster lies a fuel injected, 865cc, air-cooled, DOHC, parallel twin engine with a 270Ί firing interval. Peak power of 62PS (61bhp) arrives at 6800rpm, with maximum torque of 74Nm (55ft.lbf) available at just 3300rpm.
For 2008 the Speedmaster is updated with a new fuel injection system to meet forthcoming Euro 3 legislation. Cleaner running than a carburettor engine, the fuel injected engine is also easier to fire up from a cold start and runs more smoothly when cold. The cool retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like carburettors.
The Speedmasters new seamless, teardrop-shaped tank gives larger capacity and looks great with its chromed badges and hand painted coach lines. Flat drag bars with high risers deliver a more aggressive riding position. Twin 310mm front discs gripped by twin-piston calipers lets you haul the Speedmaster up as hard as you want. The Speedmaster gunslinger seat supports and cups the rider ready to launch at the horizon.
