According to our friend Soren, it was 2003...

2002 Triumph America / 2003 Triumph Speedmaster
With the 100th Anniversary of Triumph Motorcycle production, Triumph enters the cruiser market hard and heavy in 2002 with the introduction of the Bonneville America (in 2003 the name is shortened to America), a laid back relaxed cruiser with the same motor as the Bonneville (with the exception of a 270 degree crank). In 2003 Triumph introduces a leaner, meaner and sportier version of the America and calls it the Speedmaster. Destined to be all time classics, as they reflect the heritage of past Triumphs, both bikes continue to be an essential mainstay of Triumph and fierce competition in the American cruiser market.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Oh, wait, I did 
But, yes, 2002 was the only official year of the Bonneville America (the only year that Triumph referred to them as a Bonneville America). However, some 2003 model year Americas had the Bonneville America side panel (until they ran out of stock). One thing that I found real interesting is that on the title of my wife's bike (it's a 2006) it says Bonneville America.
