I owned two early 60's Bonnivilles They were light nimble fast and a blast to ride. They broke down constantly. I have owned four Harleys, even a chopped hardtail. Thet never bothered me in my 20's and 30's, my last one was a forty eight and with arthritis I sold it in two months. Definitely for a fresh spine and skeletal system.
Both Harley and Triumph have improved their quality by light years. The HD you have to build it to get to your liking. The Triumph is ready out of the box.
@@geneahart5607 I don't know man, I really don't, but I've been watching Freddie Dobbs on you tube. It's a never-ending thing with his Bonniville. Is that really how some of them are, or did he just get a lemon. I just don't know and I'm looking for a new bike.
Love your honest review. I have 2 friends who have both had Harley 48s and both had sold them because they were so uncomfortable. I have ridden the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster and I love it. I want 1
I find this review very accurate. If you just want to go for looks and showoff get HD but that won't last more than a year. In terms of performance Triumph is the best and more importantly when you are riding any bike above 600cc comfortably riding position is very important which is why Triumph is doing so well in all their bikes category.
But what if I am looking for the low-down grunt performance at low rpm, and what if I like the sound of the Harley as long as it has quiet mufflers? No other motor sounds like a Sportster to me. All the rest sound like lawnmowers, whether they are loud or quiet. However, the Triumph is a bit different. Maybe it's something to do with the 260-degree motor or whatever. Even so, there is nothing that sounds like a Sportster. What's the deal with people wanting their bikes to be so loud? I don't get it. It doesn't make them sound better, unless music sounds better when it's loud. Maybe that's it. I always thought music sounded the same regardless of the volume, for the most part. Maybe I'm just getting old. If somebody thinks riding a Harley is about show off, I don't think they get it. It's the whole character of a long stroke, low rpm motor, and I suppose still having some of that old style automotive valve train with some of its sounds that it makes as it makes its appointed rounds.
Very funny but accurate about both bikes. Believe or not this Harley is more sophisticated than my 1987 Sportster. I spent a lot of money and years trying to improve it. The fact is my 1996 Triumph Thunderbird was a much better off the show room floor than the Harley was after years of improvement. Today's Triumphs are much better than my 1996 while the Harley Sportster is about the same as my 1987. Harley's great to look and listen to but not so good to ride. I not to sure my 2017 Royal Enfield is not a better value motorcycle than the Sportster.
Great review lads from here in the UK. I'm 6'4" and yes did own a 48 and all I have to say about the bike is....absolutely ridiculous machine. The day I sold it I celebrated with a drink or two. The triumph I will be buying come summer. Nice 1 lads great informative and humourous review.
Thank you so much for posting this review! I believe this Triumph Speedmaster is a pure British old-school classic, the most "beautifully" designed and best cruiser out there :
I've had two forty eights and lived them until my back got problems , I think the speed master will be on my list in the not so distant future , looks like a game changer👍
I love my HD Roadster but both bikes are beauties. My first ride off the floor was 300 miles. No support for a Triumph in my area is why I bought the Roadster. It is amazingly flick-able in city traffic. I did swap out the seat for something I could move around on for long trips. If both had networks near that supported them it would have been a very hard choice between the Speedmaster, the Bobber, Bonnie, Street Twin, Kawasaki Z900RS, and the HD Roadster - all in the same price ranges. Notice there are a lot of Triumphs in my dream list.
The Roadster with ABS, Inverted Shocks, Dual Discs, 3.5" Higher Rear Suspension it eats through all the above competition. It's a bike for keeps even if you decide to get a new one. I'm planning to buy a Roadster soon in mid-2024. Simple bare-bone that's required for a Biker... No faltu frills. Cheers❤
Thats the wrong Triumph for this test! They should have compared the Forty Eight with the Triumph Bobber, small tank, hard seatposition... Then both guys would need a masseur! :D
Nah- the bobber is way ahead in each department. As an ex HD and storm owner, and Having rode both new bobber and 48 bikes several times I can tell you the 48 is just hopelessly outgunned ( horrible ride%$#$) except the looks department maybe. Speed master is design wise similar to the 48- not the bobber. The Customs 1200 would get some HD pride in place but won't out do the speed master either- Its proven by other experts.
Very funny review 😂 Sat on a speedmaster the other day at a Triumph store, and for me was the most comfortable seat and riding position of all the bikes I tried.
Pound for pound and Inch for Inch- A Triumph is a far superiorly designed product. Very few super bikes come closer. Its a fact. But HD has more brand appeal and customization flexibility which can't be ignored. But better Product? It was and is a 'Triumph'. Do your research. Ride the bikes and you will see Speed master is a superior product .
Very good video! I own a 2015 Bonneville and a 2018 Street Bob. Both bikes are excellent and fun to ride. Each one has its own advantages, but if anyone is considering buying a 2018 Street Bob, have in mind that you will have to change the seat and maybe also the handlebar.
Triumph made in Thailand....now harley follow...and have plan to build plant in Thailand too... Triumph should made more of lower level and price model just like around 300- 650 cc too...
I've rode Harley Davidson for 20 plus years and had everything from sportster to street glide special and they are nice motorcycles, I own a 2019 bobber, a 2020 speedmaster and a 2020 street tripple. The harleys are uncomfortable unless you spend 20k + then they are heavy as hell. The 2019 fatbob is a nice motorcycle, easy handling, good looking and doesnt ride bad either. I have both triumphs and Harleys and both are nice motorcycles, lately I ride the triumphs more .
Nice and honest review. Of those 2 i would also choose the Triumph over the HD. I also know HD make comfy cruisers but they cost a lot of money and as always nowadays there are better alternatives (rationally) then HD. But then again it is all a matter of preference and the size of your wallet.
I own a HD48, and can attest to what has been said about the bike in the “review”. And I absolutely love my 48 for the raw, unrefined, loud and no-nonsense monster it is. Sure my back breaks, shoulder aches and the bike is unforgiving if you are not careful with the throttle. That being said, the brash attitude and old school charm puts a big wide grin on your face. HD48 and Bonni appeals to customers on different ends of the spectrum. I would love to add a Triumph Bobber and Indian FTR to the stable one day.
English man owning riding and racing bikes all my life I find myself entering the cruiser market looking around doing my homework I come across the the Indian opinion ! Mad but of course ! Where have I been ?😁 Boom !
Sarang Kulkarni Triumph is a Rotten पुदी 😂😂😂🤣 🦅 Harley Davidson💣 is a Legend, which has Put to Sleep Motorcycle brands like Indian, Triumph, Norton, Bsa etc... only in recent times brands like Triumph & Indian started its Motorcycle Production & are really Struggling to Sustain & settle down Comfortably in the Motorcycle World & Competition with a Legend like 🦅 Harley Davidson will only be a Dream, Agree or not 🦅 Harley Davidson’s presence is enough to make Insecure to other Motorcycles in Respective Segments let it be Cruisers or Tourers which is a Fact & not an Opinion & It also Tops the List of Top 10 Motorcycle Brands On Google.....
I think a better comparison would be the Speedmaster vs the Softail Slim. I am looking at the Slim and the Speedmaster as my second bike! I love the retro look of both.
Yes they maybe same theres a difference in comfort level and it has 17 litres fuel tank its big daddy of all sportster(1200custom) i m owner and it can beat it in these level but no comparison with technology of triumph i wanted one but its pricey in that range and fact for all you guys the speedmaster is rival to the 1200custom just make a review on that i m sure like it s since 1957
YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE COMPARED THE 1200 CUSTOM WITH THE SPEEDMASTER , would have been a better comparison, forty-eight is a different league of its own, i really appreciate you guys doing this kind of comparison which no other vloggers or reviewers have tried , but next time do a review with the right bikes, Thanks.
I have had four harleys and two triumphs. My last Harley at 65 yrs. of age is murder and I sold it and sat on a triumph sprrdmaster. It does not look as good as a triumph IMO, but it sure is a better ride . Hey I am an old guy, I have to give up some cool for some riding time.
Nice review guys! Good conclusion too. Both bikes are cool but the Speedmaster will definitely be easier to live with and a lot more useful! Safe riding!
We have the 2019 speedmaster and I think it sounds better than the sportster has plenty of power too my wife picked it out and loves riding it they are a beautiful bike
There’re absolutely no surprises here.. It’s time people realized that Harley makes good looking and expensive bikes which lack in performance, Technology and Ride quality.. This realization is slowly but surely happening in America, but not yet in India..
LMAO! Well DUH......this HD is not meant to be a long distance cruiser. And truthfully...this model HD is kind of a beginner, girls bike, lol. And you could change the handle bars for a better riding position. But...I do love that Speedmaster best. I'm a lifelong HD & Triumph guy. Had them both, many models since the 70's. IMHO the new Triumphs beat the new HDs hands down. And saying this....BE AWARE I still ride a Shovelhead as my daily ride.
Will choose 48 anyday this bike oozes character 48 is by far one of the hottest looking bike a total badass it isnt a tourer as it has only 8 ltr of tank but 48 is so addorable man
I have Harley Davidson-48 (2017 model) with ABS with better suspension & it's not that back issue problem.. & not a long touring bike, but u can enjoy rides within 150-200 kilometre on highways. But if you r average fat person & unfit, then this HD-48 model not fits you, Its a very stylish Super bike in Sportster Series segment.. because of its slim look & elegant Peanut fuel tank, comparing to other HD bikes within 15 lakhs.
This one has the better seat, rear suspension, license plate bracket, speedometer (because it doesn't go up to 220 mph. Anybody want an oil pressure gauge that goes up to 180 psi or a temp gauge that goes up to 400 degrees?) larger tank, (than the 48) water cooling, Hp and torque, (than the 48) and I don't know what else, even though there are things about it I don't like. It has a lot going for it, and it is a very good looking motorcycle.
The Speedmaster is everything the Sportster should be but refuses to. In 2021 we can’t even get HD to put a 6 speed transmission, ride by wire, standard traction control, cruise, or ride modes on a $10,000 bike. Heck, they don’t have half those things on an $18,000 Softail. The Triumph does them all in a clean and simple way and still has style in spades. Wake up HD. We’re not all 20 something hipsters or baby boomer bagger bros.
No surprise at all here...Sportsters have always been great around town bikes and make a good second bike but they aren't touring bikes. Had both when I was younger no surprise here either the Triumph handles much better and was more fun to ride but I wouldn't want to go to Sturgis on one...
Harley Davidson : My pride and ego is bigger than comfort or safety.
Triumph : And that's why am called a gentlemen !!!
True definition
Even 48 doesn't have abs the brakes are fantastic. First ride it before taking shit
I owned two early 60's Bonnivilles They were light nimble fast and a blast to ride. They broke down constantly. I have owned four Harleys, even a chopped hardtail. Thet never bothered me in my 20's and 30's, my last one was a forty eight and with arthritis I sold it in two months. Definitely for a fresh spine and skeletal system.
Both Harley and Triumph have improved their quality by light years. The HD you have to build it to get to your liking. The Triumph is ready out of the box.
Modern Triumphs don't break down.

It's not the bike itself, they are bullet proof normally.
An honest review. We need more like this.
Love your honest review. I have 2 friends who have both had Harley 48s and both had sold them because they were so uncomfortable. I have ridden the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster and I love it. I want 1
I had a hd roadster and now i have triumph speedmaster…i can clearly say that ‘Harley is a lifestyle and triumph makes motorcycles…’’
I could have told y’all all of this.I will not buy another HD.That beautiful Triumph wins hands down.

The 48 is a legend because of its minimalistic barebone design, its like an empty canvas and can be customized to your liking.

i do not give a cent for most moto-blogers, but theese two were short and up to the point. Thanks guys

Hi mate, Did you buy the Triumph ? I am of a similar height and wondered if you found it comfortable .
2:10 "...and the vibrations arouse primal instincts in the rider.." Love it, sir, absolutely love it! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

This is exactly how a review should be instead of full of fancy terms to make a narrator look smarter . 👍👌

You have to stop and take some walk around breaks for sure.

Great video, informative and fun
Needed this desi convincing, gave on a cheaper Sportster deal for a Bonneville. Believe me, it has go down as the best decision I have ever made.
my dream bike triump british bikes😉😍
any suggestions on the Indian scout vs 48 ?
Thanks Guys, really enjoyed that
I like what they say and do great show of how Bikes are. Its better than top gear for bikes I hope a top BBC or other TV company takes you on.
great review
Still got the forty eight even after watching this. It's comfortable for me. Maybe I'm used to riding sport bikes..
Since sold the forty eight because it's terrible at highway speeds on longer trips 😅
Such a nice video! Thank you very much!
Is speedmaster's chassis easy to hit the ground ? looks quite low.
Laughed out loud in the first 5mins comparing comfort! great video! I'd rather ride the Triumph to Phillip Island than the Harley!
Having ridden both for decent Kms I can only agree with this.
You guys took the wrong harley for a ride comparison you should have taken the 1200 custom worthy of a triumph speedmaster

Good. That was one honest and unbiased review.
Triumph have more better Quality and safer than HD
Well known fact that HD is behind our time. Triumph and Indian are eating their lunch while HD is a sleep.

Good work guys, and a very true review.
triumph is awesome...cruiser..gud comfort and stability.. and of course more electronics..
Great review and agreed Triumph is king
Honest reviews are the best reviews
Loved the last part ...and someone told the truth about the HD bikes 😂😂😂

Dont cry idiots HD have its own value

Have you heard of reliability problems and rust with the Speedmaster?
Nice review guys! Good conclusion too. Both bikes are cool but the Speedmaster will definitely be easier to live with and a lot more useful! Safe riding!
I just bought speedmaster. Looking for vanes and Hines
We have the 2019 speedmaster and I think it sounds better than the sportster has plenty of power too my wife picked it out and loves riding it they are a beautiful bike
Does the wife go pillion? If so is it ok? 🤔🙂

Triumph, the best kept secret in motorcycles!
great review lads
Please check in the video 3.3 seconds in Harley Davidson 48 that's abs model video
There’re absolutely no surprises here..
It’s time people realized that Harley makes good looking and expensive bikes which lack in performance, Technology and Ride quality..
This realization is slowly but surely happening in America, but not yet in India..
LMAO! Well DUH......this HD is not meant to be a long distance cruiser. And truthfully...this model HD is kind of a beginner, girls bike, lol. And you could change the handle bars for a better riding position. But...I do love that Speedmaster best. I'm a lifelong HD & Triumph guy. Had them both, many models since the 70's. IMHO the new Triumphs beat the new HDs hands down. And saying this....BE AWARE I still ride a Shovelhead as my daily ride.
true , no point of comparison , for riding comfort they should compare between Triumph speed master and HD Fatboy ,
Indian scout vs Bonneville speedmaster... That should have been epic
Bought the Speedmaster over chirstmas holiday the Harley is a dog fit and finish is sub par Triumph wins in every way.
Thanks for the review!
Will choose 48 anyday this bike oozes character 48 is by far one of the hottest looking bike a total badass it isnt a tourer as it has only 8 ltr of tank but 48 is so addorable man
U guys should just sit in your house and watch TV 😂
Unfit oldies
You are what ? Beggar noobie ?
You guys are superb
Where are the reviewers from? What city are they riding in and around?
I have Harley Davidson-48 (2017 model) with ABS with better suspension & it's not that back issue problem.. & not a long touring bike, but u can enjoy rides within 150-200 kilometre on highways.
But if you r average fat person & unfit, then this HD-48 model not fits you, Its a very stylish Super bike in Sportster Series segment.. because of its slim look & elegant Peanut fuel tank, comparing to other HD bikes within 15 lakhs.
Honest review ever
Great! Glad I came across the channel.subbed!
The triumph should have a bit taller tank. Then it would have looked like a big and special one.
Cyrus and Roshan should be riding TVS-50 instead, such a pair of lil girls LOL
whatta wonderful video. Deserve 1000 likes minimum
This one has the better seat, rear suspension, license plate bracket, speedometer (because it doesn't go up to 220 mph. Anybody want an oil pressure gauge that goes up to 180 psi or a temp gauge that goes up to 400 degrees?) larger tank, (than the 48) water cooling, Hp and torque, (than the 48) and I don't know what else, even though there are things about it I don't like. It has a lot going for it, and it is a very good looking motorcycle.
Sportsters are bare bones . That's why we like em. I love triumph , but Harley is the purest.
That gentleman is gonna be mine as soon as I scrape $4,000 bucks together, and finance the rest.
Hell yes!!
Triumph wins again!

I’ve ridden the 48...like the Sportster custom version better. Much more comfortable.
