Dan ,,, The Bonnie America will run all day, have made several 900 mile/a day trips on her...not as comfortable as my Trophy III but very capable. If you are looking for long haul on the America then get the windshield and a good set of saddle bags....I too have been riding for over 30yrs and the Triumph line (so far) have been bullet proof, definatly top shelf machines. It sounds wierd but it is true... these bikes do have a soul.. they just feel good and are very dependable to boot.......get a Triumph...you wont be dissapointed
