I looked at one before buying my America. The salesman at a honda/suzuki/yamaha/kawasaki dealer was really pushing it as an all-day/long distance rider and compared it to more expensive but comparable BMW models. Did not ride it but sat on it. It seemed comfortable enough for my xxl frame. Sat on a Triumph Tiger a few weeks ago, it seemed about the same fit and position. The salesman owned the 1000cc model himself and claimed to get "plenty of air" over rail road tracks and that he routinely rode it from Ohio to the D.C. area and back in the same day. It may possibly be, as nuthin said, a "swiss army knife," but not for me though.
