Hello!
That's true, they don't go for what they are worth - even with a 6,900.00 engine package!
The bike is awesome, but the truth is, I don't really get to ride it much these days, so I am open to reducing the price if you are interested in it. What are you wanting to offer?
Thank you,
Dave
Hey Steve!
Thank you for your perspective; it is a very reasonable point of view.
I think he believes what he is saying too. After all, he made a long drive and decided not to take the bike, so he had to believe it. Which is why I took the bike to one of the best known mechanics in the area...
I will agree with you on one thing - I will not argue back and forth with you after this as well.
I don't know how to be anymore transparent than this - interested folks come test it, feel free to ask questions, ask for pics, vids, whatever. Like I said, I got a shop to check out the bike and...
Man, that is a wholeheartedly unfair statement. I understand being upset at making a long drive and deciding that the bike is not for you, but what you said is wholly inaccurate. I just took the bike to the shop and asked them to look over it completely to make sure everything was good for me...
Thanks man! Absolutely right, the bike will scream and insurance is pretty cheap. I guess insurance companies aren't savvy to the mysteries of a Carpenter Racing engine! :)
I hope to find a good home for Smaug (named after the dragon from the Hobbit for any Tolkien fans out there!).
Hi All!
I am reviving this thread as I am putting the Rocket up for sale this year. All of the information below still holds and I just don't have the ability to ride the beast at this time, so I am letting it go to a good home. The bike has just been to the shop and had a fresh oil change...
Hey Slim!
Yep I still have the bike. I was probably going to repost in the spring, but if you are interested we could chat about it. Feel free to send me a PM if you like. :)
No Problem Atom, it is a big decision to get one of these toys! In the mean time, I am having a blast on the Beast! It really is a great all around bike with tons of power on tap, but very easy to ride relaxed too. And the spring weather has been awesome for riding! :)
Hey Atom, I had just about decided to close the post, but I would still be willing to discuss it. Message me directly if you still want to talk about it.
Hi Camaro and J.hanshaw,
Sorry I missed these posts somehow. Yes, Triumph included ABS on the 2010 models. I believe it has been about 9,000 miles since the Carpenter upgrade was completed.
For the upper end of the pipes, this is the Carpenter Racing brute pipe and they use a spring to help...
Haha, thank you!
To be honest, I am starting to fall in love with it all over again, so I'm not really too put out if it no one is biting at this time... :)
