I searched the forums on this topic, but none of the threads seemed to reach a consensus. I'm 55 and my lower back sometimes gets out of whack. I twist or bend the wrong way, a muscle snaps, and I can hardly move for a few days after that. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this, and if you ride an America. I haven't had the chance to do more than briefly sit on one of these at my local dealer (they have only one in the showroom - not the color I want - and no demo). Nevertheless, I'm traveling to complete a purchase on a new America tomorrow at a dealer about 200 miles away. There won't be much time to mull this over when I get there, and even though the remote dealer has a demo, I'm not sure I can tell much in five or ten minutes of riding. Should I be concerned about the relaxed riding position of this model? My previous bikes have all been more traditional (Honda 750 types and a Harley dresser). Any comments on this from others who have found themselves in a similar situation will be appreciated.
