I ride a Honda Shadow Spirit VT750CD now, but after getting a few (small) raises at work and looking over my finances, I've determined that it's time for me to graduate to a bigger bike. Rather than spending 7-8 grand on a used one, I opted to spend a little under $10,000 on a brand new 2010 Triumph Speedmaster.

I went to the local dealer and they quoted me $9900 out the door with floor boards and a heel/toe shifter. After calling around, I found a dealer in Waco that offered me a 2010 Speedmaster for $9400 out the door with saddlebags, a windshield, floorboards and a heel/toe shifter. That's $500 off + over $1000 in free stuff.

The dealer in Waco didn't have a 2010 in stock, though, but they told me they'd order one if I was serious about buying one. I test drove a 2009 they had on Saturday and fell in love. I gave 'em my bank information and whatnot and they got the ball rolling.

I just talked to the dealership today, and they ordered it Monday morning. This sexy baby is on its way from England right now. If I don't have it this Saturday, I'll have it next Saturday. Can't wait.

It's got a 900cc parallel-twin engine and auto-tuning (intelligent) electronic fuel injection. Oh, and did I mention it's fast? This thing is RETARDED fast. 100mph in 3rd gear with PLENTY of room. The top speed on it is probably close to 160mph or so, and that's a 900cc CRUISER. Not that I ever plan on going that fast... but damn. Impressive as hell.

It's beautiful, too. Check it out:

Very, Very nice.

Nice, I didn't know you were serious on getting it, at least this quick.

That's a nice bike Gman! Congrats!

Damn, very sweet ride. Hell of a pickup G

Damn, that's one nice bike. I would guess that it's a good price too, right?

Bitchin ride G unit.

Looks awesome. I still think that Shadow Phantom is better looking though.

triumphs gotta a great rep man, and it looks real slick. good buy!

Congrats man, I'm so jealous...I can barely get to my first (personally owned) bike and you're on your second?
You fit the cruiser style well, I want a Ducati Monster 796 personally, but I'll settle with a Yamaha 2010 YZF-R6.

What do you think about those G? I know the Yamaha is a little mainstream but it'll fit me well I think. Any suggestions?

Go with a GSX-R600. I'm a little biased cause i own one but i love they way the feel. I would sit on them all and get a feel for them before you decide.

Im a crotch rocket type of guy but damn thats a nice bike Gman! Very nice find and even better price!

If it has a clutch, gas, brakes and a seat I can ride it. I've never had the chance to ride anything over 1000cc's so thats not entirely true.

Can i sit on the back seat while you're driving it :D ?

If you can read this, the bitch fell off.

Damn that's a nice bike G! Steams gonna be ROLLIN! haha

ooooo Wow, I love it!

Sweet ride!

Third bike, actually. Had a Honda Shadow VLX 600 before.

I'm not crazy about Yamaha bikes (except their dirt bikes, I guess). They just don't really make anything special enough for me to give a shit. I don't really stay on top of the sport bike market, though, 'cause I'm a big ass dude and big dudes can't really ride a sport bike comfortably.

cant ride bikes, in florida motorcyclists get hit every day from elderly/drunk teens

LOOKS SWEET BRO
wish i had that ride
