Stern, I have bad news for you. The Kingpin has a motor twice the size of a 790, and blows it away in every department. OK, the Triumph has nicer chrome bits.
AND, exactly that it IS twice the motor, and has Fuel Injection, and ALMOST EXACTLY TWICE the price, so if it CAN'T blow away the America or Speedmaster, well, I guess that makes it just another Harley, doesn't it? SO, for the person watching his budget, since most of us have these as secondary vehicles, I can have a very good performer with GREAT looks, for 8 Grand, OR, I can buy a bike that looks like another Harley, albeit a better performing Harley, for 16,000. Seems pretty simple to me, but then, maybe I'm a LITTLE biased, but my checkbook isn't!(and I'm quite sure that I wouldn't have gotten half the comments on a Kingpin as I have on my lowly America either, although that really wasn't even on my mind when I bought the bike)
