Reasonable Dealer Request?

My girl had less than a single mile on her when I got her. Presumably just enough for a tech to ensure all was in order. As the first rider, I was asked to not go crazy because the manager said, with anything over 8 miles, folks view as used.

My dealer wouldn't let me test ride the new one he had on the floor for just that reason. He did however let me take a used one out for as long as I wanted. He even offered to let me take the used one home for the weekend.
 
My 2022 3R had a whopping 3 miles on the clock when I purchased the bike new in March 2022. Definitely not a DEMO bike, and likely ridden only by the shop service staff during PDI setup. I would expect them to do that (for safety purposes if for no other reason). Almost 2-yers later and no issues to report.

I understand your concern here, but I personally would not be too concerned. Your bike will come with a full factory warranty, so that should provide you with some peace-of-mind. I would be more concerned about buying a designated DEMO bike from a dealer, but even those are sold as new with full factory warranty.

One of the two Triumph dealers in my area would not even offer a test ride back in 2021/2022, stating that Rocket parts took too long to source if the bike was involved in a test-ride collision. My preferred local dealer allowed me to test ride a 3R prior to purchase (not the same bike I ended up buying there) and that test ride sold me on eventually purchasing my 3R.
 
I had my bike delivered in fan with 0km on the clock, so yes and i would insist!
 
Mine had 0 kms. I don't think they performed a PDI ride on it. I had them install the TORs on the bike before I picked it up and the tech who did the work informed me that these were the first ones they had installed on a new Roadster. He said he hadn't had an opportunity to see what the difference was like between stock pipes and TORs.
