2009 Triumph America for Sale

Chassis

• Both new and experienced riders will appreciate the sure-footed ability of the chassis and the confidence-inspiring handling. The riding position is relaxed for both rider and pillion and offers a supremely comfortable ride, thanks to the large, low seat, forward set pegs and pulled-back handlebars.

Engine

• The America’s 865 cc, air-cooled, DOHC, twin cylinder engine shares its basic architecture with the Bonnie, but the 270-degree firing angle provides a loping exhaust note and smooth power delivery that’s big on easy-going drive and full of character.

Exhaust System

• The America’s engine fires out through a pair of deep-chrome reverse cone silencers.

Fuel Tank

• The America’s seamless, teardrop-shaped tank holds more fuel as well as looking great with its chromed badges and hand painted coach lines.

Fuelling

• The America has a fuel injection system to meet Euro 3 legislation. Cleaner running than a carburetor engine, the fuel injected engine is also easier to fire up from a cold start and runs more smoothly when cold. The cool retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like carburetors.

Wheels

• The cast, aluminum alloy 15 inch rear rim is crowned with a fat, 170/80-section rear tire while the front, an 18 inch cast wheel, wears a 110/90 tire. Durable, wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America’s raked front end, while twin-piston calipers and front and rear disc brakes take care of stopping duties.
