Well the miles keep rolling up and up. My 2006 Triumph America, now has accumulated 136,000 miles and still rides like the day I first rode it. I have put all the miles on the America myself, purchased 5/19/2006.Sadly I have gone down three times the most serous crash on rt 157 in southern MA, I was traveling about 50 mph and went into a 25 mph curve, hardly any damage to America, I however sustained five broken ribs. Then had to ride 40 miles to get back home. How many miles do you have on your America or Speed-master? Do any of you know if this engine will go for 200,000 miles?

Pretty impressive! Moe might have you beat on the miles but he has three Americas so maybe not on one bike.

I went over 100k miles on my 2003 America about seven years ago. I bought a Trophy about the same time and have only put another 10K on the America since as I ride the Trophy most of the time now.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Outstanding! I had 62,000 on my 2003 Speedmaster before some idiot pulled out in front of me and the bike got totalled out. Replaced it with a 2006 Speedmaster and bought the 03 back for $333 to keep as a parts bike . It was still running strong before I pulled the cams to put in the 06. These bikes are definitely built to go the distance.
