2009 BLUE TRIUMPH America Petrol 865 cc motorcycle, Bonneville-based retro cruiser, side-mounted exhaust pipes, spoke wheels, a wide handlebar
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.
