The 2007 model of the America I feel has lost the classic design of a head turning head turning cruiser that the 2006 model had. It was equal to any Harley in looks and sounds (if straight through pipes fitted) especially when the sun sparkled off the chrome wheel spokes. Although I like Triumphs idea of a slightly larger engine, I think it has lost that something with the alloy wheels. And with fuel injection to be used on 2008 models will further lose that link with the past.
I have a 2006 model America and a 2006 model Daytona (all black) last production run. To suit my bike mood.
In closing if you want a bike with that something special and history that will turn heads look no further than the America
