With distinctive cruiser styling and design, the America not only has the looks, but delivers exactly what the rider wants in more ways than one.

Shrouded front forks with polished lowers, chromed single headlamp and chromed engine covers, machined cast wheels, chromed detailing and twin reverse cone pipes are all evidence of the attention to detail that makes sure the America stands out wherever it goes.

Sit back, put your feet up and settle into a riding position that’s built for comfort. Take hold of the pulled back bars and listen to our traditional British air-cooled 865cc parallel twin emit an even gruntier, off beat sound that’s even more unique and distinctive, thanks to the 270º crank. Twist the throttle and feel the effortless

torquey performance that ensures every

journey on an America is a ride to remember.
