R3 Roadster purchase

[2013r3roadster]

I've always had a lot of luck with telling them I'm a buyer today IF... as long as your not getting ridiculous. $500.00 shouldn't be too big a deal, for them.

I got mine for $13999 + TTL. Its the new Roadster with updated color and eliminated restrictions. You need to have 2 offers available so the dealer will give it their best shot. I also got 20% off all accessories.

Trigger pulled

Well just got back from the dealer and based signed the papers. I got the 500 off and 15% off on whatevers in the store for apperal and accessories. I was not able to order a 13 as every bike they ordered is sold. They could do the hunt to find one and bring it in but Im cool with waiting a little longer so I put my money down on a 14 for when the order goes in. Gives me a little more time to save cash vice paying interest on a loan. As for my dilema of purchasing without a test drive they are going to look after me there as well, once a chance arrises to give one a go and I dont like it I will either get my deposit back or have the option of putting it towards something else, cant ask for more than that.
Thanks to this information on this forum and the people, it has helped me in making an informed decision and I look forward...in a year, being able to talk about my steed.

Cheers
Kevin

My local dealer, Fort Myers Triumph, (Florida) gave me $1100 off msrp, on my 2013. Nice place to deal with. Everything has an "out the door price sticker".

Good deal, I thing anything off MSRP your doing well. As we get closer to to when I get to take possession I will try harder to gain a little ground with respect to a better discount. All that said I'm not holding my breath as my dealer can't keep them in stock. They don't even have a 2013 roadster to put on the floor this year, all sold.

I bought my '05 last year without ever riding one. Drove from KC to OKC to pick it up, took it up on the hwy once, and I very much enjoyed/enjoy it. This is coming from a guy who's owned a Valkyrie and Boss Hoss for the last 13-15 years. Not much to upgrade from with those to bikes sitting together.

Ridden a buddies V-Rod Muscle a lot, Warriors... never a Victory, but from the sound of specs, doesn't seem much different than the Yamaha's as far as performance.

From one fellow service man to another, you'd be hard pressed to find such a nice all-around bike with brute trq and hp. Only cruiser I know to really hold with it is my Boss Hoss, which will blow it out of the water, but what ya lose in straight line performance, you'll gain with cornering fun on the Triumph when you compare those two.

Thx for serving brother.

Thanks and you as we'll. I am very excited about the day I get to pick it up, it's going to be a long year I've read so much positive information over the past year about the R3R and I love the way it looks. I'm still looking forward to a demo day but unfortunately living in northern Canada we still have snow it's been a long winter. All that said I took the leap, gave the dealer a grand and put in my order. Now I'm in the dealership at leat once every two weeks to take a seat on the R3T on the floor

Trust me brother, I dont know you, but as a fellow serviceman, you probably madethe right choice. The only thing you can't turn this bike into is an all out sportbike, or a smaller bike. Other than that, you can make these bikes into a stripped down, single purpose drag bike running 8's in the 1/4 with the help of a carpenter kit, or load it up ith chrome and bags and make it a cross country tourer... and everything in between.

Can't do much wrong with the bike if you've already convinced yerself to buy one without riding one over all other options of looks, v twin sounds, looks, whatever other things that may entice you to by the other brand. (But aren't enough to makey you want them IMO.)

Congrats on your purchase! I have bought 6 bikes and never have test driven one. I sell high line cars. No one test drives the SLS or the SL65! They buy knowing the car is everything they want and a whole lot more. I would have traveled 6-10 hours to get a bike one season earlier. This is not a limited production bike.

I bought my Rocket 3 Roadster just a couple of months ago without having even sat on one. My philosophy was simple - at the age of 65 this is only going to get more difficult so get on with it which is what I did. It's a marvellous machine and I am delighted.

kudos to you I turned 67 and I plan on riding this beast at leat till I turn 70 then I will install training wheels if needed
