For Sale 2013 R3R

[grampi]

It's time to put the beast up for sale. I want a Corvette and the wifey-poo says I can have only one expensive toy at a time.

I'm the 2nd owner, and the 1st owner is actually a forum member too, Tom (Wildchild). Both of us took excellent care of her. The bike isn't perfect, but it's about as close as it can get. In fact, I have people ask me all the time if it's brand new. The bike has never been down, not even when standing still.

Though the bike looks 100% stock, it actually is not. It has a TORS exhaust, a Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals crossover pipe (H pipe), K&N air filters (and air intake temp sensor filter), and was dyno tuned at 144 hp and 159 ft lbs. All of the stock intake ducting and air filter has been removed (hopefully you can see this in the pics, but they didn't turn out very well). This leaves the top of the engine very accessible, and the empty air filter opening makes for a handy storage bin for gloves or whatever. The rear tire only has about 2000 miles left on it, so it will need to be replaced soon. I changed the oil and filter less than 200 miles ago.

Included with the bike is a Triumph windshield and all attaching hardware, a tuneECU compatible cable, and a few odds and ends parts. Asking $9500.

I didn't expect 10 people to start a bidding war as soon as I posted, and I know it's only been posted here a couple of days, but I thought there would be more interest than this....what, is everybody buying Harleys now????

Your bike looks awesome, but.....................

The reality is, that as much as we here on the forum think they are the "cats pajamas", they don't have a great resale value and I think it's gonna get worse. I bought my 2013 R3R with Corbin Beetle Bags and Corbin fairing with 2,800 miles for $9,000 dollars 2 years ago? Granted that was a really good deal but I now have 10,600 miles and added PCV + AT Ramair and Paul Bryant headers and I doubt I could get $8,000.

As great as they are, Triumph Rockets just don't command a market presence?

Yeah I get that, but it isn't like I'm asking an insane price or anything, and they are $16K new. Mine is basically like buying a new bike at almost half price (with mods), and where could there be more of a market presence than in a Rocket 3 forum? So far, this is the only place I have it listed...if I don't get any bites here I will expand my listings...

I hope your enjoying the riding weather up there anyway. Oh and maybe you should put the wifey poo on the title of the vette that way you technically only have one toy. Just a idea
