I've just got an 07 Speedmaster, my first bike in 20 years! One consideration for me was size (I'm 6'5"). I was going to get a VN900, but saw an America and took it for a spin. For me, I felt there was something missing (maybe it was the stock pipes making it sound like a sewing machine!). When i got back to the dealer I saw my Speedmaster and had to take that out too. I found it a much better ride, easier to handle, although the twin disks on the front are a bit "sudden"!
