What dealer? Tried to buy a buy this week from GP but they were kinda dicking me around so I called Peak and got a straight shooter. Pick up the bike there today.

Yes Gp.


Nice, what you getting?

Almost bought a bike, sales guy keeps "omitting the truth" (who could have seen it coming right?)
Long story short: should I wait 5-6 months for a bike that was supposedly in stock, (or one that was sold right from under their nose in the middle of the night by santa claus?)
(keep in mind these guys havent exactly been straight forward with me up until now)

@Matt Rain works at a triumph dealer right? If you got a 24 or 25 street triple rs IN STOCK, dm me.

We have a red '24 and a silver '23 in the RS department right now. #callmemaybe

What are trade-in values like these days? Does the extra 13% HST make up for what you could have gotten in a private sale? I know there are other reasons for trading in, but I'm just interested in the economics.

Book value still. Need to weigh the benefit of book value + tax savings. Then apply a value to not dealing with Kijiji idiots.
 
Mission accomplished.

I will say, riding the beast to the batcave felt...like I was home again. After jumping off I had the vaguest tingle in my right foot from the classic BMW inline 4 motor vibrations and even that brought a smile to my face. I felt really blah after selling the Duc due to aforementioned criminal heat issues..feels like redemption.

Evoex said:

We gotta stop this madness bro, 1 more bike and we done for a while.
Need a gentlemens agreement like the Busa's of years past.

Also how did you find the ergos? I sat on a speed triple RR recently and the ergos were pretty bad.

it's the most comfortable super bike for sure, I would say the Duc wasn't far behind.

but you`re still in 'race' position..my left hand never really found a great spot on the SDR..no issues here.
 
also the quickshifter is way, way, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better then the Ducati or SDR. SDR never ever liked going 1-2 unless you were flogging it. BMW doesn't even blink, practically laughs as you upshift 1-2 with a dribble of throttle.

yeah, i missed the refinement.

Yep. Street triple and Tuono are like that too, very very slick.

KTM you really have to be firm with 1-2

You also live in toronto proper, hard to get up to speed with all that traffic and intersections.
 
Nice congrats @Evoex. I'm just shocked you could get a personalized plate on a bike! Didn't know that was an option...

'Mimico' sounds good...or 'Polak'...

pfft...there's this private lane on both sides of the highway that's specifically for ballers. No speed limit, and you're protected by an imaginary yellow line.
