My Triumph rep told me about the Trikesback in July. He also mentioned a tour pack was in the works. Not just for trikes.

When I asked him about r3t production stop, he said Triumph sold twice as many this past year as the year before. They will continue to build as long as demand is there. I wonder if you have to order one before they build it, could you get a different Triumph color?

I just went to triumph uk and the R3t is still on the website but when I checked a few dealerships I didn't see any on the floor. I just can't believe Triumph is replacing this bike with the thunderbird.

- Triumphs, but no Rocket just now.
In Australia at least, dealers aren't required to stock an R3T but there are definitely still available.

the way triumph markets they need to put an r3t in every showroom just so people know it exists.
Yeah, I would not even consider a thunderbird

Yes, it's not half the motorcycle that the R3T is, Elvis! Two-thirds, maybe, but half? No way.

I with you....one Phil to another. All conjecture, hearsay and no real proof. I don't believe dealers know crap about what's coming down the pike with regard to the R3T. I've said it before...show me the memo for the mucky mucks that make the decisions in the company and then I will believe it. Since I just bought my rocket I will be disappointed to hear they are being phased out. Same thing happened with my Valkyrie. I was already thinking 5 years from now (if I'm still sucking air) about maybe buying another one. With that said, I could do the Roadster if it's still available. I could make it work!

If the dealer does not have one on the dloor, they can not sell it. Piss poor marketing....
