Welcome to the site, JC. I'm new here myself.

I'm not sure which insurance companies you've been using but I had no problem in them recognising my Speedie. I found the following company to be cheapest by far (obviously cheap isn't worth a thing if they're crap at paying out. I hope I never have to find out!)

ExpressInsurance

Your initial quote (above) implies that the America is £1000 less than the Speedie-are you sure your facts are correct because this would put the America in the same price-range as a Bonnie? (It may well be this price.)I paid £6200 for my Speedie; this included alarm and TOR's, both fitted.

Have a look on the Triumph website for differences (better yet, go to a showroom) and buy the one you most connect with. Wheels aside, most of the other differences are an easy (and cheapish) fix. Engines are tuned slightly different but I daresay you'd not tell the difference on the road. (Please chime in if anyone disagrees :> )

Re: off-road pipes (aka TORs)...buy them...or buy something else...DO NOT LEAVE THE STOCK PIPES ON!!!!!

I have the long slash-cut TORs and I love em.
