I rode the America and loved it. It's the top of the heap as far as I'm concerned. Not intimidating, good handling, and I hear from quite a few people that it makes a good first bike.




You should get the Triumph. Not only is it everything you stated above, but it is also unique. It is not a bike pretending to be any other bike. it is it's own bike. Plus there is heritage. Triumph is the longest continous production brand on the planet (two years longer building bikes and 15 years older as a company than Harley).

Your dealer should be able to order a blue one for you (takes about two weeks) if he does not have one in stock. I can't imagine that Triumph would be out of them.
