I can't believe they dropped the chrome engine parts for the America. These were two distinctive bikes a while ago. I'd say it's a sure bet that one our beloved models will be radically changed in the near future or dropped entirely.



huh? Sure looks like there are chrome parts on the America engine, Just the case and cam cover are black instead of silver:


I agree with your basic assessment though, one of them is going bye-bye. But instead of phasing one out completely, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they used the Speedmaster name for the new 1200cc cruiser. That would be a much more appropriate use for the name.
