Cycleworld ---- "It all works. The bike fits my 5-foot-8 chassis very well with room to grow, and the seat’s not much higher than the one on your Big Wheel. The only thing fake about this machine is the fuel-injection throttle bodies, convincingly disguised as carburetors. Fueling is nearly perfect, serving up nice controllable, linear power—and plenty of it compared to its main competitor, the Sportster. The Bonneville topped out at 115 mph. You won’t be going that fast on the laid-back Speedmaster, but you probably could. It negotiates corners without attempting to grind itself into metal shavings. A single 310mm disc brake up front and a 285mm rotor out back stop fine, the five-speed gearbox shifts butterously, and the 41mm fork and twin shocks keep everything in line without sacrificing your sacroiliac to the gods of style."

Visordown ---- "The Speedmaster is aimed at being a bit more brutish than the Bonneville while retaining the good looks. Which it is. New for 2005 the Speedmaster get the Thruxton’s bigger, and more powerful, 865cc engine that gives it a bit more of a kick in the pants. Looks faster than it actually is, which is kind of the point really."

Motorcyclecruiser ---- "We think the Speedmaster, which inherited a name used in the mid-1960s for the T120R by an American importer but not by the factory, is much tidier than the America because pieces like the big plates over the footpeg bracket are blacked out and less conspicuous, and because the black-coated engine looks cleaner. However, we think a few more components, like the carb manifolds, which were left in their natural metal finish, would be better off finished to match the engine. Triumph will offer two color choices, yellow and black or red and black, for the standard $8699, $300 more than the America. However, there are also custom painted pieces available as well as a long list of factory accessories, which includes three saddlebag styles, four windshields, four seat options, a clock to replace the tach, racks, sissybars, floorboards, light bars, different tank badges, and about a dozen chrome replacement parts."
