2009 TRIUMPH AMERICA TWO/TONE LOW MILES, Whether you’ve ridden motorcycles for decades and long for a bike that reminds you of the first bike you rode back in the 1960s, or you are a new motorcyclist looking for a solid first bike, the Triumph America might be exactly what you’re looking for. The 2009 Triumph America is one of the Hinckley, England company’s entries into the classic cruiser market. Mix a healthy dose of traditional cruiser styling with modern engineering components, and you get the Triumph America. The America is the type of bike that will appeal to a wide range of riders, making it suitable for a first bike, or a last bike. With classic lines and a clean profile that are the hallmark of Triumph’s cruiser motorcycles, the America looks like what you would picture if you looked up the word ''motorcycle'' in the dictionary. With low swept, side mounted exhaust pipes, spoke wheels, a wide handlebar, and a great looking tank above the British parallel twin engine, the America epitomizes the image of a classic cruiser. Available in Phantom Black, and the two-tone color combinations of Pacific Blue/Aegean Blue and Pacific Blue/New England White, the Triumph America is sure to be an eye-catcher. Triumph’s 865cc parallel twin engine powers the America. Triumph is known for their parallel twin engines, as well as in-line triples. On the Triumph America, the parallel two-cylinder generates a respectable 54 horsepower, and 51 ft. lbs. of torque. While the America doesn’t have the raw acceleration of the Rocket III, this is enough power to pull away from cars at stoplights, or to cruise highways in style at 80 mph. The Triumph America proves to be surprisingly nimble for a cruiser bike. Due to its relatively light weight for a cruiser and the balanced design, the Triumph America handles the twists and turns better than might be expected for a cruiser bike. It's no sport bike, but it provides an excellent ride down a road like Pacific Coast Highway. A tubular steel cradle frame provides great stability at highway speeds. 41mm forks in front and chromed spring twin shocks ensure good ride quality over city streets, or long highway stretches. A hydraulic disc on the front and rear wheels supplies sufficient stopping power for the America. Read more: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/2009/triumph/america/05/#ixzz3rmWqZZJY
