It all stems from the 883 sporty.
People really like the BA/speedy line until they find out the displacment is about the same. The 883s are marketed as beginer chick bikes. (Which they really aren't nor are they good as one). So there is a stigma attached to the smaller displacment. I see it alot when I'm talking bikes with guys. The people who used to ride triumph don't care as much as the new HD only riders.
I have been wondering the same thing. Will I move up or stay where I'm at. At least your the right size for the America. I do get a bit cramped on long trips so I will have to wait to ride it.
