JC,
While the performance of these two machines are very comparable, with the H-D having a bit more bottom end torque, and the Triumph having a smoother, higher revving and wider powerband among the two, and the America handles the twisties out there as well or better than any other "cruiser" on the market, well, the wording of your question here pretty much tells me that you're already inclined toward the Triumph.

And, IF you DO decide to buy the Triumph, I can assure you that you will NEVER experience any regrets about your purchase.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
