    Hi,
    A newbie here.
    Just put a deposit on a 2014 Bonneville America so I thought I'd join up with like minded people.
    I've read and heard so much about what a smooth balanced ride they are.
    I've been riding a Yamaha XV1100 Virago which gets a bit loud and vibrates quite a bit past 65 mph, so I can't wait to pick up the new America and enjoy the smoothness of a parallel twin versus a V-twin.
