Yeah they have a black one at Eurotek the OKC Triumph dealer for 13,999. I kinda like the blue though. There’s one at RPM cycles in Dallas but they don’t list the price. Did you trade in/sell your America or keep it?
I’m just wondering after having cruisers for the last 16 years if I can make the transition from Cruiser to Sport/Touring. That’s why I’m interested in your experience w your new bike.
The America isn't going anywhere. The 2000 Adventurer, on the other hand, will be on the auction block. The Trophy has a LOT of stuff I spent good money adding to the America, plus a lot of things I could never get. Such as traction control, linked anti lock brakes, electronically adjustable suspension, cruise control, electrically adjustable windshield and a lot more. My favorite is the 6.6 gallon fuel tank and reported MPG of 50. I plan to take it on a longish ride (600 miles) this month to see how I want it set up. I'll report back once I've gotten to know it better. It has so many bells and whistles I'll need a pre-ride checklist until I'm used to it.
I've seen them selling for less than half of what a new BMW R1200RS is going for. A real steal for what you get.
As for the color, I too would have preferred blue but I plan to paint it Dodge Viper Yellow this summer to make it stand out in traffic, plus some more lights as well. The stock horn is weaker than the one that came on the America so I've already bought a Stebel but haven't installed it yet.
Right now is the last chance to get one new, and at a great price.
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.
