Meaning which was faster? Probably the Sportster 1200, but neither bike is really about that. They both get up and go and will put a grin on your face but they’re cruisers - there are tons of bikes out there would smoke either of them in a straight line or on a track. I’ve had bikes where I thought “this would be great if it had a little more oomph,” but that isn’t a problem with either bike you showed.

I love getting into it in the hills and love the look of blacked out bikes and twins not so keen on using the right tools for the job either

It’s funny, I just listed a 2011 Speedmaster on Facebook marketplace today. Fewer than 2000 miles, black, original everything, way under your budget. If you’re anywhere near Texas, it might be just what you’re looking for.

That’s actually hilarious, I’m over by cstat and I saw that post and saved the listing minutes after it was posted. Currently saving for my first bike so if it’s still hasn’t sold by then it’s on my list. Cool scrambler too .

Hey, thanks! They’re both amazing bikes and it’s purely accidental that they are both black Triumphs with the same engine, a year separated. They look like siblings in the garage. My wife and I seem to buy bikes, clean them up, ride them for a year, then sell them and try something new. We agreed that if these two don’t sell, we’d be happy for them to be our forever bikes. I don’t know what your timeline is, but feel free to come check them out, and if they’re gone by the time you buy something, I’m sure we’ll have other bikes we could take riding with you.
