availability?

MisterDoody · 03-24-2006, 10:44 AM

i've spoken to two dealers near me.

one said they had a bunch of pre-orders and hadn't started filling them yet and he didn't know when they'd have one i could sit on, let alone test drive. they took my name/number.

the other said they had a bunch of pre-orders and were filling them and he expected floor models sometime in "april".

is this what other folks are experiencing out there?

i've seen a few posted as "available now" at $500 to $1000 over msrp. homey don't play dat.

doody.

My local dealer still has a few left. The Triumph still isn't a huge seller here because everyone wants the RR, Kawi, Zuki or cruiser.

I saw someone say test drive. I live near Wash. DC.
Where's a dealer that let's you test drive new bikes ? Anywhere, really anywhere in the US. I travel all over.

I'd love to ride a new Triumph before buying.

Armand's in Halifax has a 675 on the floor. I think it's red. I was there today and I'm going back again to test ride the Speed Triple and then most likely buying it.

SPDKLLS,
Try Clinton Cycles in Clinton, MD. Just on the other side of 495 from Old Town. That's where I bought my D6 and at the time they did demo rides. I don't think you will find that out at Winchester MotorSports. I'm right in the middle...it's an hour one way and hour the other. I've just had a better experiences at Clinton Cycles. I would also love to get my hands on a d675 demo!

fwiw, i've spoken to a number of New England dealers now.

it's clear (to me at least, though maybe they're yanking my chain) that there's a lot of INTEREST in this bike, but there aren't that many deposits down. money talks and bullshit always walks. my analysis is that if you want one, put a deposit down and you'll have one fairly quickly (weeks).

doody.

Clinton Cycles, ahhh the memories. I grew up not to far from there. I spoke wit my pops nd told him to tk a trip over there so that he could see what Im buying next (its on the way).

There are a few dealers here (fl) that are tking deposits stil.

Nope... I got mine (will be when it comes in) for retail + tax/tag.
At first the dealer had me down for Freight/prep (the usual BS) they try to hit you with. But after talking with another guy who bought his and found out how much he paid I did some checking. Spoke to a dealer down south and he sd he wouldnt charge me any of that crap if I were to buy from him. Gave my dealer a call and told them the price wasnt right and got them to come down to the same. Soo, I got my price and now just waiting for her to come in.

absolutely. a number of folks over at http://www.triumph675.net/ have posted their bike price and OTD price if you search around. it's tough data to correlate though - maybe they quoted 8100 for the bike, but instead of doing 5300 on the trade they did 4500 (six of one, half-dozen of the other).
