2005 Triumph America
The need to ride lies deep within the human soul. The open road beckons,
waiting to be ridden and the America is the passport to freedom. With its
wide bars, forward-set ‘highway’ pegs and relaxed, twin cylinder
power the America cruises the streets, mixing classic British engineering
with style from the highways of the USA.
And it’s a blend that works superbly. The America has proven a very popular
bike, especially in the States, the spiritual home and birthplace of the cruiser-style
motorcycle.
Based as it is around the polished Bonneville the America builds on a fantastic
package. The basic architecture of the America’s 790cc air-cooled DOHC
eight-valve twin-cylinder engine is as the Bonnie but a 270° firing interval
– rather than 360° – gives a loping exhaust note and a mellow
power delivery that’s big on easy-going drive and heavy with character.
Spinning a fat, 170/80-section rear tyre (crowning a meatily-spoked 15-inch
rim) through a five-speed gearbox the engine fires its heartbeat out through
a pair of deep-chrome slash-cut mufflers. Heavy duty, wide-set telescopic
forks add substance and a solid look to the America’s raked front end,
as does the 18in front wheel, shod with its 110/80 tyre. Disc brakes matched
to twin-piston calipers take care of the stopping duties.
The America’s built to cover ground and its relaxed riding position,
with forward set ‘highway’ pegs, wide raked-back handlebars and
low 28-inch seat height aid rider comfort and control, perfect for those long
days in the saddle.
But this bike’s also built to be admired and from its slab-style top
yoke to chromed shock absorbers the America is the very essence of cruiser
chic. Centrally mounted above the teardrop-shaped 16.6 litre fuel tank is
a deep-chromed instrument console matching classic-style Triumph tank badges.
A white-faced chrome-bezelled speedo sits rakishly above the single headlight
and with a nod to the past, the pillion footrest hangers echo the lines of
the trademark toolboxes of pre-war Triumphs.
Two-tone paintwork, with hand-applied coach lines tops the America with a
choice of Goodwood Green with Silver infill and, new for 2005, Mulberry Red
with Graphite infill. For those prefering simplicity, a stylish single-tone
Jet Black option is also available.
Cruising is all about the essence of freedom and individuality and the America
provides both. It’s also ready to further personalise, with the simple
addition of luggage and extra chrome work. There are also entire custom-painted
body kits to mark out a personal identity.
To some, the America is just perfect as it rolls out of the factory. To others
it’s simply the starting point…
