R3 Roadster purchase

[Evil Mitch]

What is a standard special edition?

Tribal
Or flames in the paint ?
I don't ever remember a " standard special edition "

First ive ever heard of it also?
Any pics of your machine RC wouldn't mind a gander

Found it 2006 Triumph Rocket III Special Edition Pictures - Used 2006 Rocket 3 Special Edition Photos, & Paint Scheme Pics at Motorcyclist Magazine

Exactly the same as all the other standards just given that title to move stock I think with maybe a colour shade variation

The only difference, I believe, is the paint. I think there were two paint schemes ,flames and tribal. I have the tribal.

Don't get me wrong .. i 'can' be patient. I can wait ages to do the mowing , wash my girlfriends car , pay my tax , seeing the dentist etc etc

Can't go wrong with that...lol. I like the way you think.

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.

I'm one of those compulsive idiots, and did the same thing with my new 2013 Rocket Roadster, and my 06 Harley Sportster, and my 04 Kawasaki ZRX1200r. Signed the papers, handed cash, never sat on either one. Needless to say, the Harley and Kaw are in the barn, on battery tenders! Seems like maybe the Roadster is starting to catch on. I've seen two others in my area, and I live in the sticks!

Almost there....

One more question and that's a loaded statement, I just joined the forum, there will be many questions. For those of you who purchased new, what kind of deals did you get or is MRP par for the course?

Lol.....being military as well they are offering me $500 off, something is better than nothing. I'm going in tomorrow to see if I can work a deal but I have the feeling 500 minus MRP is all I will see. Maybe I can convince them to give me some store credit as well worth a shot anyway.
