Hello from Northern AZ.

[DesertRat]

Been riding on and off of two wheels since the age of 14. More Trails and Dirt due to work and family.

Been riding a Grocery Getter of a Z125 to back on the Pavement

Decided to get back into a HP appropriate Bike for my Age and Weight.

Wife keeps telling me I'm 2 years away from Social Security.

I tell her that I'm 38 trapped in a 60 y/olds body.

On another Note: (MODS: Please fee free to move or edit the following question if needed).

Any other Riders use a HANS-Type C-Spine Protector?

90% of my Spine is metal due to a injury while serving overseas.

Hey Guys,

There's 3 Triumph Dealers in N Az and Phoenix.

I'm willing to travel out-of-state for the best deal

I'm really looking for the best price out there?

So far one Guy quoted me $32.2K for a 2025 R3 GT EK.

Tax/Lic is estimated to be $3 in Az,

Thanks for all the help.

D/R

Lic+tax high in az

Greetings from sunny North Texas. Thanks for serving. It probably won't help you to buy new out of state because most states now require you pay the sales tax at registration, meaning they collect no matter where you buy it. Check with your DMV and see what the rules are for buying out of state. I bought a new F-150 in Maryland back around 2015 and they put a Kansas License plate on it a week later (a steel one replacing the paper tag). When I bought it they collected Kansas's state sales tax in lieu of Maryland's. Your best option to save a few nickels is probably to buy used and then if you really want the EK paint scheme, find a paint shop to do the custom work.
