2012 Triumph Speedmaster

Speedmaster. Stripped down hotrod.

Bad boy good looks. Slash cut pipes. Engine cases in black for real attitude. Black cast wheels with machined detail. The Speedmaster. Air-cooled 865cc parallel-twin, 270 degree crank engine. Unique ‘hot rod’ style. The very essence of low-slung, old-school cruiser re-invented for the demands of today’s rider. New for 2011, short guards, big wheels and a totally new feel. Ready to roll if you’re ready to rock.

The Speedmaster has gained a host of updates for 2011 to give a new look and feel to this stripped out street rod.

At its heart, the Speedmaster features Triumph’s distinctive parallel-twin power plant, a unique proposition in a sea of V-Twins.

With a 690mm seat height, the Speedmaster is accessible to even more riders than before, while wider, higher and more pulled back handlebars suit perfectly the bike’s style and give a totally different riding experience to its predecessor.

48 MPG City / 59 MPG Highway

Engine:

Air-cooled, DOHC, parallel-twin, 270º firing interval
