What many people laboring in that Midlands factory AND many a rider and motorcycle magazine editor in Ol' Blighty have NEVER SEEMED TO LEARN is that America IS the largest "High-end" motorcycle market in the world, AND just because your product isn't the lastest, greatest, FASTEST and most Hi-tech wonder on the planet, DOESN'T make it "inferior"!

IMHO Triumph should have sunk a little more money into the America and Speedmaster and charged a little more to make the bikes standout. They could have added some high end features like adjustable brake and clutch levers, belt or shaft drive, better brakes and possibly fuel injection. The incremental cost would have been maybe $2K. I would have spent $8900 for my America, especially if it had those features. I was looking at VStar's and VTX's that did have some or all of those features. The Triumph had so much character I went for the Triumph even though I really wanted shaft drive.
