Anyhoo.............I am taking the MSF class in Jan. and he is starting to think this could be a good bike for me to start on.



I understand & appreciate the point of view well enough, but wonder at times (I wonder about alot alot of times) if categorizing the 790 CC Triumphs as "starter" bikes is a bit of a misgnomer. Many folks around here started on 650-750 Triumphs and are still on them. It took me 25 years to bump up 40cc's, but then I'm a slow learner, or narrow-minded or a traditionalist, or don't know any better . Or maybe I just got lucky first time out of the box .

The America would be a great bike to get your feet wet on, it's forgiving, manageable and relatively light. It may well hold your interest for years to come .

Good Luck! Ride Safe!
