    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 02, 2012

    At the tender age of 55 I decided to get back on 2 wheels , having owned every honyamisui out there even tried a big twin

    this is without doubt the best all round bike i have ever owned and i say that after covering 15,000 miles , I use it on a daily basis to get around town and then the ...

    Oh yes keep your eyes open you will get a new one for as little as $6,900 new,

  • What can I say. An excellent bike.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 22, 2010

    I've only had it a week, but am in love with this bike. I picked up this bike at British Italian Motorcycle in Vancouver, BC. For an excellent price even by American standards.

    Heads turn and I get complements about it all the time. The first time I stopped to get gas, a woman came ...

  • GREAT BIKE
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 22, 2010

    I bought the blue/blue two tone America and love it. It handles great, plenty of power and not too big. I opted in for a roadster wind shield and saddle bags. It looks as sharp as it handles. Love it.

  • Not Just another cruiser...
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 02, 2009

    I bought a new 2009 Triumph Bonneville America at Mt. Holly Motorsports in Mt. Holly New Jersey. It is a gorgeous bike that stands out from the crowd with its long straight pipes and vertical twin powerplant. It is fast, quiet, and unmatched in its ability to track around curves. I friggin' love ...

    I originally was looking at the Suzuki C50T. I am a commuter so the weight of the bike is important to me. It is 100 lbs lighter than the suzuki and has a bunch more horsepower. It is the only bike in this class with disc brakes front and rear. It WILL NOT drag any part of it around curves because it has the highest ground clearance in its class. Its stock seat is comfortable and a non-issue. Heads turn as I ride.

  • Cool smooth ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 19, 2009

    The Triumph America is a refined cruiser with a quiet sound, comfortable seats and a smooth ride. I've had mine for about two weeks now and I love it. I got the all black America and had a back rest and saddlebags added at purchase, thanks Duke. Duke at Colonial Cycle Sports in Chesterfield, VA ...
