Triumph America reviews

Excellent reliability, performs well after mods. Seat had to go! Installed low profile (1&3/4" lower)seat. Smokes the H/Ds after jet job. Sold H/D Eagle Duece as it would not handle like the America. Flat-tracked Bonneys years ago. Makes me and every other older rider remember the old days! Mine is 13 months old with 11,000 miles on it now. Show less

Bought the 2003 last year at the end of the season so was waiting for winter to end so I can get on it to ride. Now that the weather is nice I try to take her out on Saturdays or Sundays (weather permitting). I'm new to riding so I've been riding it very causiously. Have to say the bike handles amazingly, even to a new rider like myself. Have been riding it up North (Putnum county) on the back roads. Love the way it handles. I do have to say when it needs power it has the power to deliver. Very satified. Great 1st bike :) Show less

I rode bikes when I was young and decided to buy one last bike after retiring. I got the Mulberry and silver 2006 America. I ride about 100 miles a week in very hilly, semi-urban area and get 42 MPG. I've got 600 miles on the bike and love it although I understand now how VERY tight the engine was when I first got it. It required more down shifting than I expected because the low end torque was less than I expected. As the miles go by, the motor is looser and more willing to pull in 3rd and 4th gear below 2000 RPM. It needs better breathing on both ends and someday I'll do something about that. Brakes are the best of any bike I've ever ridden. Stock mirrors can be improved as can the horn and tailight but I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Best looking cruiser on the market. Worst negative is the air injection whistle which is just something to live with-I wish they had gone directly to catalytic converters. Show less

Ridden many bikes since mid 60's to include older Triumphs, Hondas, Kaw etc. This bike kept drawing me back to the showroom. It maintains classic looks, is very comfortable and handles great. Modern "old school". 0 problems, great dealer in Asheville, NC. All this and a tremendous value to include highest epa smile to the mile ratio. Show less

Wanted a bike that was nice and reliable, gave Harley a chance, could'nt come close to the America. Have had the bike now since February of '06 and have accumulated 5000+ miles on her, and is just now starting to develop her own "personality". She has just the right "backfire" through the stock pipes, I was putting through a parking lot at idle, and she "popped" just enough to kill the engine, which tickled me to death....She fired right back up. Had first flat tire yesterday, (4" concrete nail in the rear), had wheel off, tube repaired (bike patch from Wal-Mart), and on my way in under an hour! LOVE THIS BIKE....Can't go wrong.....

Just picked up my Triumph America from Fredericktown Yamaha/Triumph in Frederick, MD this past Thursday. Great bike. Very easy to ride. Lots of power. Lots of fun. I have been told that I am smiling as I drive by. It's clattering valves remind me of my '74 Triumph 750 Trident. Remember, life is short, have fun while you're here. Ride a Triumph. Show less

I bought it in May of 2004 and would ride it all the time if it would quit snowing in Iowa. Comfortable, fast for a cruiser, handles better than any other cruiser I've ridden. A joy to ride and most deffinately not meant to look like anything else. The only problem is that half the places I go I have people walk up to ask questions about the bike. group I've ever seen at BonnevilleAmerica.com Show less

This bike is 6 months old now and I am still in love with it. Fit and finish are superb, build quality outstanding. Only complaint is that at low speeds the bike reminds you that it is heavy... a bit sluggish. Once RPMs are up a tad, all is well and the bike loves to be ridden. I would buy another one in an instant and recommend it to anyone. Show less

I decided the next bike I got would be my last, boy am I glad I waited. I got the graphite/silver 2006 America for my birthday and I am in love with her. My main concern was being on the vertically challenged side, but feet more than touch the ground. I grew up riding Ossa's and Can Am's so having a reliable bike is wonderful. She rides and handles like a dream. I cannot wait to put some long miles on her. If you are looking for a great all-around bike, I would highly recommend this bike. Show less

Overall price is money well spent, easy to maintain and easy to fall in love with, has ample power and smooth response. When riding this machine you can easily lose yourself in the moment and just enjoy being one with the road, you choose the road and Triumph will take you there! Show less
