2016 Triumph America LT

The 2016 Triumph America LT sits at the touring end of Triumph's cruiser range, built as the windshield-and-saddlebag version of the standard America for riders who want to cover real distance without stepping up to a heavyweight bagger. This is a low, relaxed cruiser built around a torquey parallel-twin that pulls hard from low revs, which matters more than outright horsepower once you're loaded up with gear and riding two-up. The 270-degree firing interval gives the engine a lopsided, V-twin-like pulse rather than the buzzier feel of a conventional parallel-twin, and the riding position stays upright and forgiving over long stretches. The 2016 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2015 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. This bike tends to attract riders moving off larger, harder-edged cruisers who want something lighter and easier to manage at low speed, plus commuters wanting saddlebag capacity without bulk. Collector interest is modest; this is a buy-to-ride machine, not a garage investment.
