Thanks for revisiting the light question. I’m the one in the US who commented on the DRL on your previous video. My bike simply does not have that switch at all on the bars. Only the trigger. I wish I could show a photo. Therefore the light is always on , no DRL. Great video and I still love my Speedmaster.

I have one! A black and white 2021 model. The best bike I have ever owned and that includes several Harleys!

Great review appreciate how thorough and honest you are you got a new subscriber. I’m looking at a 2023 this weekend and doing my research thanks again

Hey, its Phill here in Vancouver saying hello again! I love your videos and your bike (almost as much as I love Speedmaster!) Wish I could send you a picture or two. I am so happy you are still thrilled with your machine, as am I and it seems, countless other folks who have the Speedmaster. It is certainly a wonderful bike indeed! Mine is the Cranberry red one, same brown quilted seat as yours with the matching pillion seat and back rest, white wall tires, bobber style straight handle bars and bar end mirrors and a Dart Marlin fly screen. Anyway, one comment on your review is that here in North America the lighting is configured differently than in the UK. We do not have daylight running lights on the Speedmaster, in fact we do not even have the on/off switch on the left handle bar. So, our headlight (and tail light) are on continuously. We have the small switch in front of the handle bar, but that only switches between high and low beam, so we cannot "flash" the lights like you can. We can only turn the high beam on and back to low beam, rather than "flash"! Perhaps Transport Canada, our vehicle approval authority, thought that "flashing" was rude or something so they took away our ability to do so. So, the guy in the US who told you it is different here is actually correct. But the review is great, and I am completely in agreement with it. Good job and keep up the good work Foz!

I'm the owner of a Bonneville T120 and have to say I really enjoyed your review.

I have my own Speedmaster already but I just love to see other owners’ perspective and your review is spot on. Though I customize mine a lot with the ape bars and so on. I think the green light being on for the DRL is so that when we turn on the ‘lights’ (dipped beam) at night, the green light won’t be too distracting on the dash in the dark of the night, cheers!

Excellent review of this new classic. “Best Bonneville Triumph ever made.” A big statement, but I think that there is much truth behind the inspiration of that statement. I just purchased a 2022 Goldline Speedmaster LE because I feel the same way, am retiring soon, and want something classy that I will not want to sell. It’s the attention to details, the retro look to it, but more-so, the beauty of it as a work of motorcycle art.

Beautiful bike ! Just found your channel, I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers. Best of luck with your efforts, I look forward to seeing more from you. Take care and ride safe out there 💯💯👍👍

Really enjoyed your review, and all the other FozBox videos. I have a new Speedmaster on order for delivery at the end of November. Can't wait to get riding again. As you seem to ride in my neck of the woods (Wiltshire between Salisbury and Marlborough) keep your eyes open for a red Speedmaster - it could be me !

Enjoying your videos. Loving my Speedmaster👍

Thank you sharing this video. I love listening to the engine! I believe Triumph Speedmaster is the most beautifully designed / best cruiser out there :)

I’m awaiting mine to arrive at the dealership this month. I’ve enjoyed your videos as a great way to get acquainted with the bike - though one’s use of a windscreen is relative to height. And they help with the highway speeds here in Texas. I’ve cruised them at speeds up to 85mph, and any windscreen definitely helps to hold on.

Thanks for your time spent on convincing me to test ride. Currently riding triumph America 15000 miles. Love the bike but time for something new2023

Puts a smile on my face every time I ride the Speedy - so easy to place feet down (for a 'retired' rider) - so easy to ride. Get an open face to fully enjoy the ownership. Don't like the jolts over bumps (maybe some thought into aftermarket shocks). Had to take all the quadlock and GPS stuff off my bars as they totally spoilt the look and retro feel of the machine. I have not taken the bike on a long tour yet, but it may come to the IOM with me next spring if it's all open again to experience the 36 miles of total fun. Like you, I dither as to whether to fit or remove the screen - there are after market ones that come off with a simple catch so maybe that's the answer. As you say, what's not to like. PS, Foz, join the Avon Bike Club and come along on one of our rides!

no bike is perfect , excellent review especially covering the rear bags, those stock pipes are something else, ballsie , rumble rumble , great fun

Just watched your Road Test - so glad you purchased one. It also seems KZfaq is pushing your content at last as I didn't search "Speedmaster". Won't be long before the 2,000th Sub and then they'll be no looking back.

Enjoyed your presentation. 👍

Two great tips for me during that excellent review. I now understand how the light works with the switch (I've been running for 4 days with the night mode set....!) and I've returned my Denali Split Sound Bomb (plus relay and wiring kit) for the plug and play Sound Bomb Mini. What has made the bike special for me is the addition of a pair of footboards (Kit 9770117). It now feels like a real cruiser and changing up gears with my heal is a revelation.... Thanks for the review.

Nice review - real world stuff, like it. I picked up a new Speedmaster last Friday (June 22) and absolutely love it! Traded in my GS, which was a great all-rounder, but a bit dull. The Speedy has reintroduced me to the 'grin factor' ! Looks like Salisbury and surrounding areas in the video - I know it well. Used to live in Amesbury, but been in Pewsey for a few years now.

Very informative video, thank you.

That is one nice review! The bike is excellent but the small gas tank…I don’t know, but it can be a dealbreaker for me. Have to test the bike and decide after that. Many thanks!

Great bike to ride, im really pleased with mine, except........ive been told there are no passenger backrests available until JANUARY 2022 at the earliest!! I cant use the bike as i wanted to without one as my partner wont go on it without the security of a back rest, Triumph get your act together please!

The bags actually look much better reversed as you suggested imo.

Great bike. Solid review.

love the gloves mate

A functional and fun review vid. Useful real, everyday info well presented. Cheers Foz Box, now want to empty savings more than ever 😂

Good review thanks

Looking to add the Bobber with apes as my second bike next to my R1250R. However, a new Bobber is $13,400, but it would probably be $15k with apes, a seat, and taxes. Hardly any used Bobbers, but there are two 2018 Speedmasters near me, both with apes. One is red with 5k miles, some Motone parts, and the brown quilted seat. The other is two-toned paint, with 900 miles, the comfort seat, and windshield. Dealers are asking roughly $10,500 for each. I might be getting a used Speedmaster over a Bobber. Closing on my house on Thursday, so I’ll be purchasing soon after.

Also purchased the Corbin solo seat with backrest well worth the money

Beautiful all black 🌻

Enjoyed that. I was very fond of my 2020 Speedmaster, but a 1300 kilometre tour nearly killed my butt, so the Triumph had to go. Hope you get many thousands of miles of blissful riding on your Speedie.

I have the red. They call it Cranberry.

Nice review. I own a T100, and am thinking of trading up to either a Speedmaster, or Bobber. Torn! Love them both. Have not ridden either.

Mate, what is the rack on the rear mudguard where the pillion pad was?

Dream bike.....

Curious what Corbin seat you're referring to. My back and bum be singing after a long ride.

@ FozBox where u get those grips?

Have you noticed any weird vibration under hard acceleration at highway speeds? (65mph and up)

I have a 2020 Speedmaster and it is a wonderful riding bike fir the rider. The passenger pillion seat is abysmal. It is small, hard, and uncomfortable. The padded, quilted aftermarket pillion seat is no better and expensive. How about offering the one piece, padded seat, like the pre-2018 Speedmastwr?

I can confirm Mr Fozbox that North American models do not have the option for just the day time running. Dipped or full bean only due to regulatory requirements sadly.

I’m seriously considering buying one of these. As a new rider is this too much bike for a newbie..?

On my 2022 T120 (US Model - delivered in California), there is no daytime running light switch. the headlight goes on when the bike is running and you have the "bright" switch - that's it. I suspect the Speedmaster is the same (can anyone confirm ?)

Ok!!!

Saddlebags are supposed to be on the right...

I'm a strapping six footer, but even with my long and shapely legs, I found the persistent swallowing of saliva, followed by the lip-smacking, rather irritating.

S&G😂

I like these reviews but feel compelled to say that I think this bike is not a good one. I had not realised that the retro / classic / heritage thing extended to a squidgy brakes, clonky gear change, a refusal to change line when cornering, stained engine casings and shocking levels of vibration. I walked to the car park - 50 steps, and then rode it a steady 200 miles up the motorway - 27, 336 steps. So please consider carefully if this bike is for you. It isn't for me. That said, please keep up these excellent review. Did I mention it is slow? Oh how!, and I'm no street racer, just an old man trying to get passed an hgv on a single carriageway safely.
