Oh well, I couldnt resist it!
I add a new bike to my barn, she is a 2019 Triumph Speedmaster 1200.
I’ve just collected the bike and rode her back home 500kms, mostly through motorways. The SM looks very nice, almost as my CB1100 EX, but it has a much higher lower par and sounds better in comparison.
Riding wise, the SM fits me very well and I find her quite comfortable. I might change pegs though, dont like the forward controls, i prefer mid mounts.
I’ll be using her for weekend short haunts as well as some medium distance duo or solo touring. The bike is certainly on the small side but my wife and me are not big either.
Most possibly I’ll be selling the CB, it would be a bit of a luxury for me keeping both thoroughbreds together with the workhorse vstrom 650 XT.
In any case I pretend to remain in this forum, if I may.
