Thinking to buy 2014 Roadster

Any time you get a warranty is a good thing. Especially with motorcycles. I even got a routine service agreement on mine! Regular maintenance for two years!

You know they only paid low book on it, if that. I'd say you have a lot of room to negotiate. 10k out the door would seem like a fair price to me.

I'd agree, I can do $10K OTD with 2 yr warranty.
 

I will double-check to see if it is aftermarket full warranty or factory warranty. I'd assume the coverage by both warranties would be the same? Good point that OTD $11K should have included the warranty + mark-up. Thanks for the info on the shipment cost also. For $500-1500, if I end up with buying online, I'd fly over and make sure the bike is in condition before handing over cash and ride back during my vacation!

Since this will be my first Triumph, having a warranty would be good as I don't know the quality of Triumph. I bet it's not as good as Japanese bie that I used to own before. ('06 ZZR1200).
 
They are better bikes than they were in the 70's....but technology has a cost in the form occasional mechanical hiccups. I think mine is going to be trooper though, so long as I keep up with good maintenance practices.
 
Second, you're not being offered a 2 year factory warranty. You're probably being offered a 2 year aftermarket full warranty (at a dealer markup, incorporated into your otd price) which you could always buy on your own, probably for less money.

Just reconfirmed that it is 2 year "factory" warranty, not aftermarket warranty. But if aftermarket warranty offers the same coverage as factory one does (or better) and is cheaper, I'd try to see if I can get the bike w/o factory warranty. And get the warranty somewhere else.
 
BTW, I keep forgetting to ask you this. But is it normal for this bike to get backfire when you rev in the neutral in the hot weather? (90+F degree, 30+ C degree) When I tested the bike, I had several backfires when I rev the bikes. (Maybe because it was sitting on the floor for a while?)
 
I would be getting the "2 year factory warranty" in writing and signed from the date you purchased it. Why does a 2 year old used bike have a factory warranty - I'm suspicious, maybe someone had a major issue and triumph replaced the bike then repaired this one now it's back on the market.
As for the popping - the R3 tune is lean for emissions - this can be overcome
 
backfire= popping through air filters. ?
mine has tors and bangs on decel at about 1500 rpm but has never bang while sitting still.
u may be need more info on this.
 
Mine has Jardine pipes, and the alternate factory tune was way too lean, I trimmed it rich at low and medium throttle settings and disabled the o2 sensor. No popping and much more spirited acceleration.
