Minimalist details keep the 2003 Speedmaster in the retro roadster zone, with the tank-mounted rev counter and bar-mounted speedo, two-tone paint schemes and chunky bullet exhausts.

Add in a sculpted seat made for long hauls, cast wheels with dual front rotors and beefy forks, all screaming road terror.

Powered by the mill of the Bonneville platform, the Speedmaster comes with plenty of passing power and solid fun, both in and around the city.
