2017 Roadster? (no more two lines, pls!)

[mr hunt]

I bought my first 2013 R3T in June of 2012 in Colorado

What's the build date according your VIN?

I am confused when I look at an Australian dealers offerings it states:
"COLOUR OPTIONS
Matt Phantom Black
Phantom Black"

I have found a website that lists and has photos of all the model years and major variations but does have some errors:

TRIUMPH Rocket III models

More than just a few errors there. Much as I hate to say it, this is a more accurate source, although not as detailed.

Triumph Rocket III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm pretty sure a 2017 model would come out in 2017...pretty much in keeping with Triumph's tradition of releasing models in the year that they produce them...your welcome

I would expect to start seeing some '17 models showing up on showroom floors around July this year. Obviously these will have a 2016 build date. Happens every year. No manufacturer keeps making the current model right up to the end of each year and, depending on supply (and sometimes demand) will release the new ones early. That means also that with some models the 2017s won't start to be seen until 2017.

I think I wait til July at least to make a decision. If the designs are the same, I'd go for the white lines one.

Btw, can anybody tell me if there is any changes over '14, '15, and '16 models in terms of features and technical stuff. Or exactly the same? I may go for the used one if the spec/features are exactly the same....

They're the same.

Also 2012 - 2013 models have matte black option without stripes.

Mine has yellow lines.

Mine has yellow lines.

Was that an US option? I have not seen in OZ.

I had my 2012 Matte Black painted Tuxedo Black with yellow stripes, same size as the red and white ones. Never cared for the Matte.

If you talk to your local dealer, he will be able to get you an earlier year closeout model for thousands off the listed MSRP, and I think Triumph is offering hundreds of dollars in accessories as a bonus. I did this early last year and got a new "0" miles 2014 (red striped, which is the fastest) model for $12,900 plus $800 in accessories, plus some dealers offer good discounts on anything from Triumph for as long as you own the bike.
