At British USA in South Houston this morning to pick up some Triumph teardrop mirrors for my Roadster, and they had a new 2012 Roadster on the showroom floor.
Salesman was unaware of any changes for 2012.
Seemed strange to me that you couldn't find a Matte Black last April in Texas. Makes a little more sense if they were selling leftover 2011s because the 2012s were in the pipeline.
 
Good Luck with your 2012!!! I love my 2011 !! I believe they only come in the Phantom Black for 2012.
 
I see for 2012 they have 2 other colors for the Roadster. Phantom Red Haze and Phantom Blue Haze. Glad to see that other colors than black are available.
 
TR3Roadster Very nice looking bike! Could you please tell me what brand saddle bags and mounting brackets that you used. And did they bold right on? Thanks
 
Hey biker, those are Triumph leather bags, they have a very sturdy mounting bracket that holds lots of beer. They are pretty pricey too. I have em on my bike and like them.
 
cool looks nice in matt black, and I like that they put another exhaust on the other side.
Now they just need to make a tank that is the same on both side and make the radiator more sporty, I would love to see Triumph make a six cylinder Rocket so your get the 3 header on each side now that would be cool
