Well, he's in Macclesfield, but the bike is in Milton Keynes with his son-in-law at the moment... I'm beginning to feel a stronger pull from the latest Triumph Speedmaster. I'm hoping to get a test ride on one soon.Where does he live?
Perhaps a forum member could give it the 'once over' for you?

I've been thinking about the Speedmaster for a while. This Harley popped up and I was seduced by the style and the price - mostly because I'm still waiting for the DVLA to decide whether or not I can keep my licence (medical reason) and I wouldn't be risking too much money if they decide no.The Speedmaster is a great bike just a bit compromised in the rear shock department especially two up but it is easily sortable
The downside is you will have to up your budget as you won't get one for £7000
CheersI know that Triumph used to offer a Fox shock as a Triumph branded replacement on the Bobber but don't believe they offered a similar unit for the Speedmaster. I have only ever seen Speedmasters fitted with either Nitron or Hagon shocks
If you are considering a brand new bike be aware that it is likely to be a Euro 5 bike and if you like a fruity exhaust note you're buggered as the exhaust system is a one piece/welded up jobbie so you can't fit an X-Pipe to delete the catalyst !
If I were doing something similar I'd be looking at a low mileage, pre Euro 5 used model with a few farkles, which you can pick up for about £2500 less than a new one
Deuce tank was longer than standard softail tank
I'd put money on it starting its life as a Softail Standard
The grey motor is a BIG clue
