When i powdercoated the bearclaw and few other parts on my Rocket black a bloke i know said " You shoulda just bought new a night-train mate"... I just smerked and said " You really DO need to go for a ride on a Rocket!!!!!! "

Any of you Aussies out there know if there are any 2011 compliance Roadsters available in Aus or when the colours will arrive.

 

[TOMCAT]

Dont know about 2011 compliance but TeamMoto have new Roadsters on the floor, they are black ones though. The Virginia store has a Tuneboy demo Roadster that you can take for a ride . 2011 models coming out in new colours are they??

See red and blue options for 2011. Dealer told me he is expecting the new Thunderbird Storm mid march so maybe the new Roadsters turning up around the same time. Triumph Australia number 03 93819768 they should know !!!. Dont tell'em you got it from me. Ha Ha Ha !!!

Guess I'm a little late but I'll still chime in. Just paid for my 2011 roadster a week ago and ordered it a couple months ago. 13,999 plus tax and title and nothing more. I received 750 off for military which i knew I would from the website. It was a pretty cut and dry transaction. The roadster is still in short supply and if the dealer wants to sell his for more than MSRP I guess that is his right and he will probably find a buyer, although I would really consider finding another dealer if that is the kind of service they will provide. I just saw a brand new roadster on e-bay about a month ago for 13,999 plus tax and some other in-house fee's with free shipping in lower 48 states. Just food for thought.

Why are the motorcycles so high down under in Auzz?? I have heard that the duty fee for imports coming into Auzz is double the invoice? So if it cost 10 k here in the states then it is 20 k down under. Is that right?

I don't believe the duty is that much, I think more likely Triumphs pricing policy, there is 10% tax, 3% stamp duty and registration which accounts for about $3000 of the price but still much more that the US price. Someone is doing pretty well out of it.

Does OZ make a bike? Usually when they tax the **** out of something they are trying to protect the products made in house. Is there a Aussie bike they are trying to protect?

Good point HellFire, I gaurantee the "government" is involved somehow.
