2005 Speedmaster

click to enlargeDark, brooding lines and a stripped-down hot-rod essence make the Speedmaster a standout middleweight cruiser. 

But more can sometimes be more.  And while the lean Speedmaster retains its low-slung and nimble street prowler chassis it now has more low-down torque thanks to its new 865cc, air-cooled, twin cylinder engine.  And due to the 270 degree firing-interval each power pulse from each piston is delivered in a seamless, languid flow that hooks the fat 170-section rear tire to the road.   The flat 'drag' style handlebars, double front discs and wide-set telescopic forks ensure a sporty and controlled ride.  As well as flawless function the Speedmaster has an elegant form all its own.  A satin-black engine finish and near-solid 15-inch rear wheel add to the show and whether on the move or at a standstill the Speedmaster turns heads, hard.
The Speedmaster has the edge.  It's built for city streets and twisting roads with an engine that inspires and a chassis that excels.

Above all else it's been built to perform.
