I have just, today, become aquainted with the Bonny American. I thought the Bonny was what I wanted (after seeing one today), but after a test ride I could't deal with the rearset pegs and shifter location. The dealer said he had one with forward controls, a Triumph America, so I went in to see it. POW! It was love at first sight. I came home and started searching the net to find out more. I have already checked on some used ones, (I can't afford new), and placed my Kawasaki Drifter up for sale.
I thought I'd keep the Drifter the rest of my life, but the America has taken its place in my heart and head.
Hope to own one real soon.
Thanks for letting me share this.

Dave
