In 2007, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph America, a cruiser machine that debuted in 2002. The bike was designed and built in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England, and was married to a 790cc parallel-twin engine.
The 2007 machine received a displacement increase from 790cc to 865cc. Compared to 2002-2006 models that ran on a carburated engine, the 2007 machine also came with a carburated unit.
Besides the displacement increase, the 2007 model received several modifications, including new reverse cone chromed silencers, a new design for the wheels, adjustable brake, and clutch levers, a black-finished engine with chromed covers, a more comfortable seat, and restyled chain cover, passenger footpegs, and upper fork shrouds.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was similar to previous models, packing standard features, such as a round headlight, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and 12-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The 2007 Triumph America had its soul brought to life by an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine with two carburetors feeding the pistons, delivering 54 hp at 6,750 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 4,800 rpm.
The bike's ride was softened by a 41 mm Kayaba telescopic fork with 120 mm wheel travel on the front and twin adjustable shock absorbers with 96 mm wheel travel on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.
