British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph has extensively revised the Speedmaster model for 2011, with the bike now featuring a host of updates to deliver an improved riding experience and an even more aggressive appearance.
The stripped down sports cruiser now features a new 19-inch cast aluminium front wheel with single disc brake and ‘skinny’ tire for the classic chopped hot rod look and a whole host of other updates to give the Speedmaster “more attitude and improved accessibility.”
At the heart of the Speedmaster is Triumph’s revered 865cc parallel twin engine, a classic configuration favoured by custom builders around the world. With its 270-degree firing order and twin slash cut pipes, the fuel-injected unit delivers some 61 horsepower and 72 Nm (53 lb.ft.) of torque.
In addition to that, ergonomics have also been improved for the 2011 model year, with a low 690mm (27inch) seat height, accompanied by new and wider handlebars that deliver a new riding position that feels substantially different to the previous model and which is expected to appeal to a wide variety of riders.
To complete the back to basics street rod look, the 2011 Speedmaster sports blacked out engine cases, a carefully crafted teardrop tank, minimalist mudguards, a 15inch cast rear wheel with high profile tire and a new front headlight design.
Two colour options are available for the 2011 Triumph Speedmaster: classic metallic Phantom Black and Cranberry Red, a new colour which is debuting on the Speedmaster.
A full range of genuine Triumph accessories are available to accompany the Speedmaster, including a range of saddlebags, screens and alternative seats to "meet the preferences of the individual rider."
