I completely hear what you're saying. And since the little lady has been talking about "babies" in a year or so I probably will never get the upgrade....LOL

I'd better get the Triumph now.

All jokes aside - the America is probably the way to go. Laying it down is the big fear (as it feels a bit heavier than the V Star). But learning to ride on your "dream bike" and having it for years and years is probably priceless. Most likely I'll be opting for this used 07. I hope the dealer comes back w/ a nice deal.



Yes, you are absolutley right. You should get the Triumph now. Especially since you are planning on having a family, you may never get a chance (at least for another 20 years) to upgrade.

Do not worry about dumping the bike. It may be a little bit heavier than the V-Star, however the America is a very well behaved bike and will be more comfortable and easier to ride than the V-Star. The amount of weight with most bikes does not really matter, it is how the weight is displaced.

I use to worry about dumping my bike too. My Speedmaster is the first bike I bought after 15 years of not riding. These bikes are absolutley awesome for a first timer, a returning rider or an experienced rider.
