3 pipes isn't a Roadster. Roadsters are 2010 and newer, all have ABS, FUEL GUAGE, GEAR INDICATOR, pegs further back, black disc centres, 2 pipes (originally). Sounds like it's a Standard - the best ones, by the way. Triumph dealer should know better than to try to pass it off as a Roadster.

Best ones, you say? How so?

Just make sure the engine serial number is higher then 337294

This is very important... It is the cutoff high / low for the upgraded transmission...

It was a bit of a flippant comment but I guess there are three reasons..

1. As the ultimate pre-roadster model, they'd pretty much ironed out all the bugs of the early models by '09.
2. Roadster had some good additions such as ABS, fuel GUAGE and gear indicator but the riding position sucks. Pegs are lower and further back and the seat is higher, so it's not really a cruiser. For some that's fine. I don't like it.
3. It's what I have.

I also prefer a Standard over a Classic. Cosmetics aside, the main differences there are the Classic had boards instead of pegs and the bars are more pull back. I just prefer pegs and the flatter bars of the Standard but I still prefer both over the ergonomics of a Roadster. It's a personal thing though, and of course many bikes by now have been turned in hybrids of the 2.

This is the high number cut off 337294 anything lower might need the update kit.

I don't like buying used bikes. You never know if someone rebuilt that bike in their basement, like I did mine.

I see. Man, I should've researched a lot more before calling it a roadster. Thank you for all the knowledge guys, I am going to check out the number tomorrow, and if that checks out, I will definitely get it.

Don't wait to buy it in the new year. Buy it now before someone gets to it before you do.
