Understandable.
Keep it in your garage, hooked to a tender, for occasional ride or two.
If you plan to sell, do it in spring.

Yeah they all poop. I'll post a thread if I manage to get the RFY's dialed in right. Right now they are equally poop at absorbing the impact from potholes, however when I go over bumps at highway speeds they don't try to launch me to the moon the way OEM do, so, sad to say, these $110 amazon shocks are, for the moment, already better than Triumph factory original... I don't know if I should be happy about this or angry lol.
Also I went up 10mm to the standard Bonneville length shocks (320mm --> 330 mm) and it's a nice improvement. If I do pony up more money for good shocks in the spring, I'll do the 10mm extra once again.
LMAO.
My driver's license stays in my wallet, which is never hard to find because I only wear the same two pairs of pants lol
This is just how we shareRelax gents, just sharing my first impressions, doesn't matter good or bad.
Peace,.
Now, let's get back discussing other reasonably priced bikes.
You know 2K of options is 0 dollar in resale.
If you are within 1K of dealer price, you are way too high for private.
Extra parts mean little and only to a few buyers.
The reality of the scrambler market is that Ducati guys do not like them. Assembled in Thailand. Doesn't make it a bad bike. Just reduces who will buy it.
I’m going for the hipster crowd. That’s the target market.
Distinguished Gentlemen something something…
Hoping to get 8k for it in all honesty.
‘But honey I tried to sell it. But no one wants it!’

A bit of a rat and a bit of a rarity. If someone was looking for a long term restoration project you could likely do worse ?

List it for $8K, have a UVIP and hold firm. $8k seems like a fair price... unless it has a 'dropped by last owner' disclaimer.
Funny story. He actually has a video of that happening. Tipover at a stop sign.
Probably the only bike being sold EVER with such a disclaimer and video proof to back it up.
At least the seller was kind enough to point it out, and post the video to her FB feed.
You know stuff like that actually makes me respect the sellers integrity more and gives me a better feeling that there's not hidden issues that they won't tell you about because let's face it the unknown is the worst part about buying used (unless the warranty is still intact).
Here is the generous tool kit provided by the factory for the air cooled, 865cc, EFI Triumphs:
One measly 5mm Allen wrench, specifically intented to remove the seat. Of course, in order to access the tool, one must use their own screwdriver or coin to remove the side panel.
Rode it back today from Orangeville via Belfountain.
It was chilly , I was fully layered up. But otherwise a beautiful day for a ride.
My initial impressions after 100 km first ride.
1) a very smooth engine, (maybe too smooth , I was looking for a bit more "character")
2 ) Absolutely gorgeous.
3) The suspension is very stiff, not comfortable on bumpy roads.
4) No storage option, I will have to carry papers in my jacket every time I go for a ride.
5) Not liking the fact it has separate keys for ignition and steering lock. The second key keeps hitting the left fork since the ignition is sideways on the left fork.
6) Nothing but speedo on the cluster.
Which is a good thing because I was actually enjoying the ride and scenery , instead of constantly looking at revs , gas gauge etc, like on my ninja
7) stock exhaust actually sounds pretty good, bit throaty without being too loud.
Overall, a great bike and purchase. She is a keeper.

@Norcorider regarding the stiff suspension, before spending $ there, ensure new tires that aren't very old and dry/stiff won't solve the problem. Also, if you haven't already, check the pressures and drop it a couple PSI off recommended ... will help.
