Just to offer another opinion here..

Last year about this time, I started to see all of the press on the new Rocket III Touring and decided that it would be my next bike. I went back and forth for a couple of months on whether to get the R3T and also whether to part with my '03 America.

I am very happy to say that I did choose to get the R3T and I also kept the America. 9 months later, I am so happy that I chose to keep the America. For one thing, I had a whole lot more money into the America than I would ever see back by selling it. For another, having the R3T allowed me to turn the America into a different bike...I have been chopping and tweaking the America to be a Solo only 60's remeniscent around town bike. The R3T is the get out of town and really ride bike (or around town if I need the space in the bags).

I ride each of them about equally these days.



Good luck on the decision process....
