Test-rode an '08 EFI America today - thought it was a little feeble at the top end and limited-out early - until I realised I was still in 4th. Loved it. More comfortable than SWMBO's V-Star 1100, and even though 200 cc's smaller, seemed to have more grunt.
With some footboards and a little pull-back on the handlebars, it'll be perfect. WAAAAAAAAYYYYY different from my FJR 1300 of course, which I'll keep until the beginning of next season.
All I have to do now is arm-wrestle with the dealer over the price of accessories - he's offered 10% of catalogue list but I think we can do a little better than that.
NOW I understand what all the fuss is about.............
