Q. Is the low ground clearance of Triumph Speedmaster really gonna be an issue in indian conditions..potholes and speed bumps.
  • I suggest to keep avenger 220 has 170mm ground clearance which scrapes some speed breakers in bengaluru, mysuru of karnataka with single rider, with a pillion it scrapes many speed breakers and potholes, even if you are on first gear. Now the all cruisers and street bikes of triumph have 130mm (3cm less than avenger), imagine the situation now. T bobber has 140mm and only adventure tourers have 200mm+ ground clearance but seat height is for guys who are 6ft or wear shoes with 5 inch heels. Bajaj Avenger is the only bike in india with no.1 ground clearance to seat height(737mm) ratio. So a 5.2 to 5.10ft guy can enjoy a bajaj avenger without hitting every speed breaker. same guy will scrape every speed breaker with any triumph except an adventure bike on which he will be too short to sit.Interestingly if they add 30mm more ground clearance to T bobber, it matches the exact seat height and ground clearance of bajaj avenger. I am waiting from 11 years to upgrade my bajaj avenger 220 bike, but I am too spoiled by that ground clearance to seat height ratio with that sofa like feeling which no bike of 10x the cost is offering. Kawasaki vulcan is a very close call but with 130mm ground clearance and a pillion rider, I had to stop the bike to cross a speed breakers.It seems no bike company designer or research team actually visits the place where they want to market the bike. They just sell the same stuff what they sell in other countries to india. morons.
  • Yes, not so much in states like haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Delhi, but definitely in Maharashtra... A similar question was doing rounds by a rider from Karnataka, so it seems its problematic in Karnataka as well....but you can get a certain amount of respite by fitting fork risers at both the ends, it raises the ground clearance by as much as 2 inches....
Q. Is it difficult to use on roads with humps? In KA, even highways having several speed humps. Is the bike engine reliable on long journeys where immediate assistance is not available? Is the tyre puncture easily serviceable by a roadside local tyre puncture guy? Rear wheel is easy to replace since there is no centre stand - Speedmaster?
  • It is indeed difficult on the roads with humps, nevertheless, you can get risers fitted at both then ends and get a bit of respite... another thing would be to not take the humps head on, instead cross them diagonally, and at a dead slow speed.... That' the cross you have to bear.....
Q. What is the ground clearance of Triumph Speedmaster? How good is it to ride on less than perfect roads such as hilly roads of Chikamangalur?
  • You might want to fit risers at both ends and you're good to go.....
Q. What would you prefer Speedmaster vs Harley Custom 1200, if you get chance to buy only one among them, and why?
  • Speedmaster any day.... Because it isn't harley, it's TRIUMPH....
Q. Is this bike suitable for tall riders?I am around 6.2. - Speedmaster?
  • With the stock footpegs, the ride may become tiring.... my suggestion is to get the highway type foot pegs fitted to stretch your legs and enjoy the bike...
  • Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster features a low seat height of 710mm and closely placed handlebars. The bike is perfectly suitable average-sized riders, with its closely-set handlebars and forward control footpegs. Moreover, comfort is something that can be best judged personally. So, we'd suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of ergonomics and performance. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    Good handling, Tight on corners.The seating height should have been a little higher, But that can be taken care of by using highway foot pegs.The only downside is the ground clearance and to add salt to the injury, Are the roads and illegal speed breakers in india.The mileage on highways can go as high as 27 kmpl, Depends on your riding style.But in cities, Do not expect more than 12 kmpl tops.I've written mileage as 20, As that's the minimum you can write.
