if you have enjoyed riding your intruder, go for the america or speedmaster.........
if it was me........id buy the striple
Both are crap on loose metal roads.

how dare you start making sense on kb!
I own a Street, and have ridden an America. I'd take the Street everyday, but then again, that's the riding style I like at the moment. You're hard pressed to find a better all round bike that will put the same sized smile on your dial when riding the Striple though.
Than again, I may be slightly biased.

Not ridden the America, but then again, it's really not my style. I had a Street Triple and loved it. Awesome bit of kit (and plan to replace it with another in due course). I can def recommend one. Best way though is to just test ride both and see which you prefer.

I am a little biased, but dont forget the Bonnie.
Great bike.
I love mine to bits
A couple of the guys in the TOMCC have one & they agree.

Your lucky your open to trying different bikes, I think you would be happy with almost any bike you take home, but will probably change often-ish...just because you can.
