I have been rideing for 48yrs I have owned many different bikes and ridden many more. In 01 I said to myself, self I think it's time to buy a new bike so I started rideing and investigating everything out there and wasn't really happy with anything, water cooled this and top heavy that cumbersome these front heavy that I an go on was thinking about yami those v-stars (1100)? Not bad, hd 1200 sport? Naa to uncomfortable and then Mr Bloor came along with the. America !!! Love at first site and when I sat on her and picked her up off the stand ? Well I knew I had found what was for me! I have been a Triumph guy for yrs but the new ones at that time just didn't fit me but that America was perfect. I will admit I have had a couple of those low speed dropsies and when I had to pick her up it just reaffirmed for me that I had made the right choice. Now, anybody that calls this bike a girls bike or beginner bike would have to preface that with it is for the right girl or the right beginner because as far as I am concerned this is the bike I will ride until I can't anymore! It handles better than most cruisers it has as much power as is ever needed is comfortable for all day (ask Moe) and so far very reliable in short way better than the other bikes with similar CCs! There are many other bikes that would be for more suited for beginners and I think it should be a seasoned female that rides an America because these bikes are far better than beginners
