I have NO plans to get rid of the America for one of these. The America remains one of the best "all-around" bikes IMHO. Cruiser? sure, capable tourer? (mostly one up), commuter? YES I have logged many thousands of miles on the road two and from work. Is it the best in any of these classes? Maybe Cruiser. but as an all around machine it just plain rocks. That said, long distance / two up touring requires a different class of machine altogether (at least for folks our size). Also, seat height is a consideration as is peg placement. If I add a Trophy to the garage it would be to replace the big Yamaha touring machine (and maybe the Suzuki standard just to keep the peace :-) )
