My two dealers say sales for America and Speedy are dismal. They want more displacement and no chain to maintain.

Man, that's sad! People are missing out on a great bike. Trouble is, there are so MANY great bikes out there to look at. Just to stir up an old axe, they started to go wrong when they changed the tank. Now, they look a lot like some other bikes. Old time distinctiveness was what they had going for them. It's what immediately grabbed my attention. On a side note, I thought I'd look at some new America's online, just to see what the original poster was reffering to. Gave up trying to look at one after just a few minutes. (Granted, I'm not real patient) Checked a couple of genuine Triumph sites and couldn't get past second base without looking THROUGH a commercial or dropdown menu. Never did find just a plain ole picture of an America where I could study the bike.
