Welcome to the site, Shawn. The America, or any of it's variations, is a good entry level/any level bike. It combines a low seat height with nice low end torque. I rode mine for 50 K, both single and two up, around town and across many states including two trips to Florida. As you've already noticed, a good looking bike too! (And not another run of the mill Harley)One thing that took me a little to get used to was the low speed, sharp corners. The only weak point and then, a small one. Hope you get the bike, I guantee you'll love it!
Since I almost always agree with my friend Rich I must also point out that the America is an excellent all around bike. Light enough to be comfortable in town and as a commuter, comfortable and dependable enough to take on transcontinental trips, fast enough to keep up with anyone not looking to spend the night in jail and cool enough that you will always stand out among the cruisers. I've found only two drawbacks. It doesn't have the power for two up with a couple of porkers and old geezers constantly want to talk about the good old days when THEY had a Triumph.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
