2014 Triumph Speedmaster for Sale

Chassis

• Riding Position:
• Brakes:
• Handling:
• The suspension doesn't suffer for the sake of the Speedmaster's style.
• Suspension:
• Frame:
• Its laid-back style suits a wide range of riders and is a great choice for anyone that finds other bikes too much of a stretch to the ground.
• As a Speedmaster rider you adopt a relaxed position, feet well forward and hands wide apart on the pulled back bars. Sitting just 690 mm from the ground the Speedmaster is very easy to manage even at walking pace. And it’s comfortable when the pace increases, so you can take in the scenery and just enjoy the ride.
• We put a single 310 mm disc at the front backed up by the 285 mm rear disc to help maintain the bike's lean look, but together they still provide plenty of power with good feedback to make sure the Speedmaster stops as well as it goes.
• We raked the forks out at an extreme 33.8 degrees in true hot-rod style and kept the trail figure long at 170.4 mm. We stretched the wheelbase out too at a lengthy 1,606 mm but because we've kept the center of gravity low and very carefully matched the geometry, the Speedmaster still steers with that easy, engaging feel that makes even tight, low speed corners a breeze. And stability at higher speeds of course is exceptionally good.
• Forming the backbone of the Speedmaster’s long, low style and at the same time providing it with exceptionally easy, well-balanced handling. We’ve made a chassis for the most inexperienced riders can manage and seasoned ones can enjoy.
• The shocks are preload adjustable too, so you can find the perfect balance and stance whether you’re traveling light or fully loaded with a passenger and the accessory luggage.
• We fitted high quality KYB forks and shocks with a generous 120 mm travel at the front and 96 mm travel at the rear, enough to cope with poor conditioned back-roads as well as maintained highways.
• Holding everything together and keeping it in line is our traditional-style tubular steel cradle frame with steel swingarm, using the engine as an essential component to give you exceptional rigidity for stable, sure-footed handling.

Engine

• Fuel Efficiency:
• The Speedmaster is laid-back and easy on the fuel too. It can manage 71.1 mpg at a steady 56 mph and even at 75 mph you’ll be sipping fuel at 55.5 mpg.
• And, inside the old-style cylinders we’ve added double overhead camshafts, 8 valves and a fully integrated crankshaft, clutch and gearbox. All with a comprehensive engine management system to handle the ignition as well as fuel injection.
• The engine feels great thanks to the 270-degree crankshaft design which results in a lazy, uneven beat from the mellow exhaust note to match the easy pull of the motor. We’ve made sure that vibration levels are just enough to let you know there's an engine working hard beneath you but without intruding on your general ride or comfort.
• Configuration:
• We've also retained the air cooling to give you a bike that looks right but, although it seems to have twin carburetors, the Speedmaster is fueled by a modern electronic fuel injection system for high efficiency, plenty of smooth and accessible power and exceptional fuel consumption.
• Still very much a classic-looking Triumph engine, we have built it using modern Triumph technology, cleverly hiding it behind that traditional exterior.
• The Speedmaster's parallel twin is such a refreshing change with its roots in the very engines that brought us to the forefront of motorcycling during the 1950’s and 1960’s - the golden era of British twins.
• Parallel Twin:
• The output peaks at a muscular 61 PS and there's strong torque from low in the rev range, with a maximum of 53 ft. lbs. at just 3,300 rpm. To you that means plenty of thrust at a flick of the wrist without needing to resort to the slick gear change.
• Performance:

Styling

• We added the skinny 19 inch cast front wheel to complement the fat rear tire on its 15 inch rim and enhanced each by the cut down mudguards.
• Wheels Tires and Mudguards:
• The retro theme continues with what look like twin carburetors and traditional air filter housing, all disguising the modern fuel injection system.
• Engine:
• The Look:
• We decided on a mix of blacked out and chrome components to give the Speedmaster a purposeful, moody look. Especially for the black-finish engine with its machined cooling fin edges, which now run the full length of the cylinders.
• The look of the Speedmaster is dominated by the 19 inch cast aluminum front wheel with single disc brake and ‘skinny’ tire, giving a classic chopped hot-rod look. Emphasizing the Speedmaster’s resolutely dark attitude even further a whole host of components – from wheels to bars and headlights to foot controls – get the black treatment for 2014. Machined detailing on the engine barrel block and cylinder head cooling fins add a subtle counterpoint.
