I dont know much about reviews. All I know is what I have done, and seen for myself. Been riding many years and had some Jap bikes. I prefer my triumph to any of the many bikes I have riden. I also smoked a 1200 sportster. I read a review once that compared an America to a Dyno glide. The writer seemed to be a Harley fan, but had to admit the america was a comparable bike. Even said in top gear the America has a better roll on response. Thats from 55 in top gear.
So don't listen to me or any of the guys here who clearly prefer the Triumph with no vested interest. trust a mag editor who has adverts to sell. Triumph don't buy many adverts. hmmm I wonder why?
I read the top speed one very objective. Still said the Triumph has more power, but power is not everything. comfort and style matter.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
