The test of the Triumph Speedmaster and America
Bonneville is not only alive. So think of Hinckley. Rightly British designers use the excellent basic mechanics and chassis of the workhorse of the British to create versions taste very different from each other. Here's the hat so they jump out the winning English Speedmaster, which captivates fans with a line of custom low and elongated, opulence America, perfect for traveling and relaxing with a style that both Baker and Poncherello of Chips .
Both models that we present to take the 865 cc parallel twin engine and chassis in steel pipes, but change the dimensions of circles. And, of course, style and equipment. The price is identical and is set at € 8,990(turnkey).
Triumph Speedmaster
The custom Triumph of sporting weapons and sharpening in 2011 acquires a more slender. Responsible in particular axle, surrenders its bulging wheel 18 "in favor of the 19". Halved the number of front brake discs, as a (large diameter) is more than enough on a custom. The headlight beam is smallest in size and disappear many chrome (eg from the crankcase and the fork legs), by virtue of the total black fashion in recent years.

The Gunfighter seat is only 690 mm ??from the ground, while the handle is wider and slightly higher than that seen on the model of 2010. The rear wheel is 15 "and its fender has a different cut, which goes wonderfully with the two silencers cut slice of salami. The air-cooled twin confirms the crank 270 degrees, the electronic fuel injection and61 horsepower at 6,800 rpm Max . The couple stood on the value of 72 Nm at just 3,300 rpm.
The road test
The Speedmaster is the entry level range of the custom of the English producer. And you have to give her act that knows how to do his duty very well. The bike is well made, the details are not open to criticism. Chrome, iron and leather abound, and make us think that almost 9,000 € requested are on the whole a reasonable figure. The riding position is comfortable and allows even the most senior pilots to stretch (and relax), ready to face a series of beautiful curves. Or a long straight highway that makes the American dream.
The English twin mumbles beautiful wraps and full with vitality. The noise coming from the exhaust is not bad (during the test we would never get off the version equipped with discharge opening ... pace of traffic police in Verona!).
Power delivery is very smooth, but the 61 horses there are, are true and beautiful lively. Both conclude that overtaking is never a problem.
Help is always pleasant, as stated on the engine, but also to develop a chassis that allows even beginners to travel between the curves with unsuspected agility. Careful only to the platforms, which rub on the asphalt just too soon. The braking has lost a disc at the front, but the result does not change: there is the power you need and also not scalability opens the way to criticism.
E 'liveries available in two colors (black or red).

Triumph America
It shares the platform technology with the Speedmaster, however, significantly change the spirit, in this case based on maximum driving comfort (look combined with a very "American").
The double seat (now in one piece) is placed only 690 mm ??from the ground, in this way is easier to managein running order 250 kg (with full tank of fuel), even with the engine off.
Behind there is again a circle 15 "(with 170 mm wide tire well), while in front of you chose a paunchy ruotone 16", wrapped in the fender. The result is a custom fat rich in charm and chrome.

The road test
The two beautiful english girls - Speedmaster and America - are also daughters of the same mother (the evergreen Bonneville), but characters really show on the road to the antipodes.
Cheeky, cheeky and playful, the Speedmaster also enjoys tackling a trivial round town.
America is not, set on her beautiful 16-inch ruotone, she asks the road. Stable at all speeds (and in any country) and focuses on driving comfort. The saddle is a real chair from which lulled, better protected from the large screen (optional).
Fill the bags with the leather needed for a weekend, and games. America turns out to be convenient for the passenger. We would not doubt at all points in the crew (especially with the backpack / carrier) to make a long-distance rider, touring in the long haul. The vibrations are very small and the commitment required in a city or on the road, full of curves is always modest. Travel America are suitable to the character that the benefits provided by 61 horses of Twin English, as well as the power and scalability of the braking system.
