Why would they discontinue the America a year after doing a rather extensive redesign for '07???



Take a close look at the the two new bikes. They are almost completely identical now. Similar things happened towards the end of the T-Bird, Legend and Adventurer. Only the T-Bird managed to survive and that was only as the T-Bird Sport. The America may be around a couple more years. But, watch the evolution. The two bikes may become the same bike. When they do one of two things will happen; the Speedmaster will become the rumored 1500 (or so) cruiser so the America will live on as the 865; or the America will dissapear. I say it will be the America that will dissapear because it is the older name of the two bikes.
