2016 Triumph AMERICA LT
My 2016 America LT comes with that bullet-proof 865 cc engine found in the Bonneville T100 and Thruxton. Traditional air-cooling keeps the engine clean, and an inconspicuous oil cooler between the downtubes acts as a backup to keep the engine’s lifeblood at a reasonable temperature.
