A new cruiser from Triumph and the open roads of sunny California. What more can you possibly ask for?

We thought the expansive Bonneville family would be complete with the introduction of the Bobber. But clearly, Triumph had other ideas. Despite having the most successful motorcycle on its hands in its 115-year history, Triumph has added another model to its Bonneville lineup, the Speedmaster. The Bobber and the Speedmaster follow the same basic philosophy but differ in one critical area.

Where the Bobber is for the solitary rider, the Speedmaster is geared for taking a pillion along. Of course, the Speedmaster has a different suspension geometry and handling characteristics. That’s why we’ve come to sunny California to find out.

I like it and the new seat configuration compared to the older models is a big plus.
 
I sat on one at the dealer last week. Found the bars very uncomfortable. Bend in them was all wrong for me. Angled back too far.
