In 2014, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph America, a cruising machine that debuted in 2002 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England. The 2014 motorcycle packed the same specifications as the previous model without any modifications.
In the visual department, the 2014 machine had standard features, such as a large round headlight, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and 12-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The bike was built on a tubular steel cradle frame with a 41 mm Kayaba telescopic fork with 120 mm wheel travel on the front and twin side-mounted adjustable Kayaba shock absorbers with 96 mm wheel travel on the rear.
The bike's lightweight aluminum wheels were fitted with a 310 mm disc tied to a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the front and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 2014 Triumph America had installed in plain sight an 865cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 61 hp at 6,800 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.
The bike was sold at an MSRP of $8,300 in a Phantom Black color scheme and $8,600 in a two-tone Cinder Red with Morello Red livery.
