Are you in the market for a British classic that seamlessly blends heritage styling with thoroughly modern performance? Look no further than the 2021 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 1200.
Here at Mallory Motorcycles, we see a lot of fantastic bikes pass through our showroom doors, but there is always something undeniably special about the Speedmaster. It captures the laid-back, low-slung attitude of a traditional cruiser while injecting it with the spirited DNA of the legendary Bonneville family.
If you are looking to buy a used Triumph Speedmaster, the 2021 model year represents a massive sweet spot. Let’s dive into why a pre-owned 2021 Speedmaster is one of the smartest (and coolest) cruiser purchases you can make today.
The Triumph Speedmaster is a masterclass in motorcycle design. It boasts an authentic “hard-tail” look thanks to its clever hidden monoshock and beautifully fabricated twin-sided swingarm. For 2021, Triumph kept the beloved minimal bodywork and signature 12-litre sculpted tank, but the aesthetic remains as commanding as ever.
With swept-back beach bars, forward foot controls, and a classic nacelle headlight detailing, the Speedmaster delivers a distinctive, laid-back riding position. Whether parked outside a cafe or cruising down a country B-road, this bike demands attention.
The real magic happens when you push the starter. The 2021 model received a significant Euro 5 update to its critically acclaimed 1200cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. But Triumph didn’t just restrict emissions; they refined the ride.
By lightening key engine components, Triumph reduced the internal inertia. What does that mean for you? The throttle response is remarkably sharper, and the power delivery is incredibly smooth and linear. The engine churns out a punchy 78 PS (77 bhp) at 6,100 rpm and a massive 106 Nm of torque at just 4,000 rpm. Overtaking is utterly effortless in any gear, accompanied by a rich, throaty burble from the chromed stainless steel twin-skin exhaust.
Cruisers aren’t always known for their cornering prowess, but the Speedmaster bucks the trend. A major update for the 2021 model was the introduction of larger, higher-specification 47mm Showa cartridge forks. This upgrade drastically improves front-end feel, giving you confidence and stability whether you are navigating tight city streets or sweeping country curves.
Stopping power is equally impressive, courtesy of twin 310mm discs gripped by high-performance Brembo 2-piston calipers up front.
Furthermore, Triumph listened to rider feedback and heavily upgraded the seating for 2021. The incredibly accessible 705mm high rider seat was redesigned with deeper foam and separate lumbar support. The pillion seat also gained an extra 11mm of foam thickness. Whether you’re riding solo or two-up, “numb bum” is a thing of the past.
Despite its vintage 1960s aesthetic, the 2021 Speedmaster is packed with 21st-century tech carefully hidden from view:
Buying a brand-new cruiser involves taking a steep hit on depreciation the second you ride it off the forecourt. By purchasing a well-maintained, used 2021 Triumph Speedmaster, you get all the incredible engine upgrades, the plush seating, and the Showa fork improvements at a fraction of the original showroom price.
