What is a 2007 America valued at? It has less than 3000 miles on it and in near perfect shape.

Methinks you're pretty darn close. Dealers appreciate cherry condition, they just aren't willing to express it in cash, until resale time.

Thanks Guys. I was thinking I might sell it and I wasn't sure what I should ask for it. I don't think I want to sell to a dealer. It will probably be a private sale.

Hi Steve, fwiw, I bought an '07 April 2, 2012 for $4,500.00. Odo reading at the time was 1,182.2. Prudence was stock except for TORS. imho a low mileage pristine bike levels out (no matter the model year) around 4-5K. Here she is a 'slightly' reconfigured.   Here she is just over a week ago on the Skyline Dr with 32K on the clock...

Thanks for your input, Moe. I do think I will be selling soon, My Suburban finally gave up the ghost after 265,000 mi and 19 years of driving it. Now I need to put together some cash to get a different everyday driver.

The 2007 was the best looking model[blue and white colour of course]Triumph made. As for price,Invaluable. I'm a "little" biased though  Oh boy! I just realised, I have far TOO MUCH time on my hands today!

Paul, ahem, although still beautiful there are several attributes that render the 07 model not up to the beauty of the prefires. The lack of spoke wheels for one. Tapered fork shrouds another. Then there are the non visible narrow steering stops. The forward control hardware is a bit george jetson as well. One thing that still has an 07 on top of all later models is the classic 'speed twin'ish' styled tank, non bullet speedo, and 15"/18" hoops. The 07s are beautiful, much like Elinor, while the spoked versions are gorgeous like Marianne. Sense and sensibility seems to have been abandoned in recent model years.

Moe you do a great job as moderator and I like and respect you.Of course you,along with everyone else, is allowed his or her opinion.Unfortunately the down side of this is if it conflicts with my opinion ,you/they are wrong. 
Actually I now tend to agree with you about the spokes,not for looks but my cast wheels seem to lose air pressure much faster than a spoked wheel with tube.I do like the look of my cast wheels.
The the finned sprocket cover on the earlier models dosen't
make the grade IMO,but hey,it's a Triumph and ANY model Americas/Speedys are the coolest looking bikes around

The hoops are a double edged sword as the alloy ones are roadside plug-able, that is, fugly but repairable whereas the spoked hoops will leave one in a large pond with no oars.  I've not had issues keeping air in them either. Recent 3K ride and loss of air was 1.5 lbs, i.e., from 41 psi to 39.5 psi. Likewise for the rear. (btw the MOD designation is redundant as chy, wojo and I inherited ADMIN powers from the good Friar.)

I didn't think of that Moe.Although if I got a flat out on the road the only way I'd be able to fix it would be to stick one of my ten thumbs in the hole.
I have started parking my bike with the tires on some old carpet as some cushioning instead of on the cement garage floor after a friends suggestion.I don't know if this is Voodoo,black magic,or wishful thinking ,but the air loss doesn't seem as bad as before.It was only when parked awhile on the cement I noticed the loss of about a pound a week.
As for Admin./Mod or what,You do a fine job whatever it's called.
