Could get trapped by the amount of suspension movement compared to a road bike. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I wouldn't be comparing it with a busa nothing else is in that league bar the zzr14 or the ninja h2. I'd be comparing it to the street glide special I test rode back in 2019 because that's the only other cruiser I have ridden to compare it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my Triumph has depreciated that much in under 2 years, why would I buy another new Triumph? Yeah they wouldn't see the irony in that. Triumph of Plymouth offered me a full £800 less than I got on a trade in for my CB500 against my Hornet. I was looking at either a Trident 660 or possibly a Tiger 660. Like you say they can sell pretty much everything they have so they take the piss big time. Also with me they refused to confirm the offer in an email and said the offer was dependant on a full inspection in the workshop of my bike. So I can bet they would have tried to pay less. Plus they were just fucking rude. There I feel better now I have that off my chest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither now, I will never darken their door again. If that is how they treat you when you want to spend money imagine the response if you had a problem with the bike. I was told but didn't listen about the Plymouth Dealership. A mate of mine dropped his new Tiger in spain and smashed it up. The next time he went into Plymouth to replace the smashed Tiger the salesman shouted across the showroom room: "Here he is for another Tiger, I wonder if it will last more than two weeks this time". He walked and went and bought a Ducati Multistrada. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that they won't miss my business, but word spreads and it'll bite them in the arse eventually! Mind you, the Honda dealer that I bought my CB500X from wasn't much better. So, my feeling now is to buy something a bit older and service it myself and stuff the dealers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It is nearly 10 years to the day since I bought a bike from a dealer, if I go into a showroom now i need oxygen administered when I look at the price label. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
