This prison guard has nothing but good things to say about my America. Although mine is almost brand new (3000 miles) I've had no issues, and having owned one of the more glitch-prone models (79' Bonneville 750) all I can say is these bikes are a vast improvement over past models. Everyone will encounter some problem or another sooner or later, but from what I've seen here, most are minor. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
