    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.
    R.I.P Street Triple Moral of the story? Don't think a Triumph dealer will look after your P&J anymore than anyone else would

    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.

    Was that you and yr man riding into the Bp Otaki during ya test ride yesterday ?
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
