Now, the downside. It's heavy. My last bike was a 1967 Norton Commando that I sold in the late 70's. Compared to the America, it feels like could pick the Commando up and carry it upstairs.

Around 500lbs I believe.
I felt the same when I went from my '73 bonneville to the '04 America. It's a bigger tank and overall larger but in reality it is probably a smaller bike then most brands these days. For example, the '07 Small Hardley Sportster is 563lbs dry. The Honda VTX1300's are around 660 lbs!!!

I will say ALWAYS make sure you have your Kickstand down when you start to get off...once you start leaning and figure it out you won't be able to stop it from dropping!!
