Does the 2011 R3 Touring (ABS) come with a bunch of accessories like on the 2010?

$ solves all problems ...

Daryl, I hope you are wrong but I will wait to talk to Julie on Tuesday. The word out was 2010...ABS optional, 2011...ABS standard.

If you look at all the specs on the Thunderbird and the Rocket you will find that ABS in any version is not listed. Even the Thunderbird I am ordering comes with ABS (1700 Phantom Red Haze T-bird) but you will not find it listed in the specs.

Look closer. The ABS option IS listed for the Thunderbird. That said, I was really just addressing the added goodies, not so much ABS. Who cares about trivial crap like that? We want BLING!

It sure looks to me that ABS is standard for 2011, check the last sentence in the paragraph at the bottom of this page:
Triumph Motorcycles - Rocket III Touring

"Triumph's critically-acclaimed Rocket III Touring is a true mile eating custom tourer blessed with unique character and that memorable 2.3 litre motor. This iconic engine has been retuned for effortless low down torque. Coupled with high levels of comfort for rider and pillion with sumptuous seats, detachable screen and front and rear footboards this bike is designed to devour the miles with effortless ease. Now with ABS brakes as standard. "

Humbucker, you are far better off going down to the states and picking up your bike.
I am in Ontario and will be picking up my new 2011 rocket in New York state.
The Roadster I am getting is 13,900 and 14,700 out the door.
Its listed in Canada at 16,900 + freight + taxes + +.
The R3T is 18,999 + frieght + taxes
With our dollar the way it is now and after paying duty you will still be way ahead to buy in US.

What dealership you buying from? Canadaigua? Or Albany? Curious........

This one, Buck's Motorsports Inc. We Sell Fun! its the closest to where I live, but I will be going down this week to also check out the Rochester Triumph dealer.
I will be leaving a deposit with one or the other
But I am still not 100% sure about the Roadster.
My wife is now kind of talking me into getting the R3T, saying it will be more comfortable for long rides.
But dam it I like the looks of the Roadster.

But if you ignore the wishes of the wife...you might be sleeping with the Roadster.

2011 r3t

Humbucker, I just purchased a 2011 R3T one month ago and it did not come with ABS standard. I believe the Roadster comes with ABS standard in 2011. Canada prices sound a little inflated as I paid $16,200(brand new-zero miles) for the bike and it has everything but ABS. Talk them down or buy in USA. MN is not too far away. Love the bike.

I bought a Standard and added all the goodies I liked from the Classic, like floor boards, wind screen, chrome etc..
Since it's still an R3 at heart you can always customize her with what you like best from the Touring. Have the best of both worlds.

Suggest you think carefully about you really want to be riding.

Got mine at Buck's, nice people, they have a black and cream (white?) on the floor now, owner Jan is real easy to deal with. Just have a R3T there now, no Roadster.
