I assume you’re not looking for an objective answer here? Most, if not all, of us love our bikes. The America and Speedmaster are not copies of anything else. They are not little Harleys nor are they wannabes. Triumph has at least as much “Heritage” as any other bike on the road and retains the look and feel of the old bikes but without most of the pain. If you’re like most of us, the major problem you’ll have is answering the questions about it. Knowledgeable riders will appreciate it regardless of what they ride.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
