What are you guys paying out the door for the roadsters?

Thinking about one... R3 stands for 3 Rockets in the garage...

Thanks

I just paid about $15,4 with TTand L Base Price was 13,999.00. That's less than the Tbird and twice the bike.

You might want to check your math there, Frank. The base price for a T-Bird is $12,499. I got mine for $12,499 out the door. That's $3,000 less than you paid for the Roadster.

I could be wrong but I think that the TB weighs more than the Roadster so in that way of thinking is the TB not more bike.

Wet weights:

Roadster - 807
T-Bird - 746

Mine is 733, however, so he's closer to having "twice the bike" if measuring against mine.

Fellas,

Let's not start 'measuring' things again... Did you forget what happened last time?

Why yes, I do remember. Scot in Exile had to buy me a few pints for winning the bet.

$13,999 + $500 setup = $14,499 plus tt & l.

The Tbird I was looking at was the 1700. By the time I got through with the engine, like I did with my Bonnie, it would have been more. Opted for the Roadster with way more power, and no mistaking it for a Triumph.

Yes, the factory installed big bore kit T-Bird has a MSRP of $14,799. Personally, I wouldn't do that. 12 extra hp and 9 extra ft lbs of torque isn't worth $2,300 to me. I could have the big bore kit put in mine for $800 cheaper ($1,500) than the factory bike. Of course, the factory bike comes with a special paint job. My point is I wouldn't pay $1,500 either. Although, I have to admit I do like the "phantom haze red" color scheme on the 1700 T-Bird. But again, not enough to pay $2,300 extra.

Now, as far as looks go, to each his, but I think the T-Bird looks a 1000 times better. I used to own a R3T, btw, so don't go thinking I don't like Rockets. I do.
