I purchased my America on new years eve 2005. I waited 15 years to get back on a bike after a bad wreck I had on a Honda.. I shopped for 6 months and always came back to Triumph. Warranty, style, dependable. Not to mention there are plenty of cool aftermarket parts and if you like to tinker like me there is plenty you can do with it.. I have nice loud pipes and lots of chrome... etc... etc... etc. But the best part of it all was after all my friends said "you got a what"... We went riding and the ole triumph got the attention... Not the harleys... They may not be the biggest or the most expensive or even the most sought after, but I sure do enjoy the hell out of mine and I will probabally never sell it.. Even for the Rocket III... I'll just have to keep both.
