considering this dealer deal

[jdumas54]

well, I visited our Triumph dealer and looked at (and liked) a "new" 2011 Black Speed Triple they had on the floor. Discussed pricing & options. Dealer called me the next day and offered me that bike for $11K out the door. This would be the total price with dealer installed Triumph fly screen, rear grab rail and the lower Arrow muffler/pipes. This price also includes my strictly dealer serviced 1999 Adventurer with 17K miles & my wife's seldom ridden low mile 2004 Black Bonne in trade. I am seriously considering this... What thoughts do you guys have about this deal.

so you're giving them 2 bikes and still paying 11k? sounds like you're getting porked

You can give me both those bikes and I will sell you my speedy for 5500. Deal?

I don't know what sort of condition your other bikes in are but I reckon you'll be paying at least 2k too much

sounds like "Highball" on theirs and "Lowball" on yours. Multi trades can be tough if they are getting the dregs from your garage that may not sell, but if you are basically giving the bikes to them, I would first try for a better deal or "give" them to a real friend or a charity. The tax code has tightened up on vehicle donations so you can't write off full value on a wrecked or total piece of shit, but in no way would I take a fist in the arse on two good bikes especially on a deal in the middle of Winter in Michigan. YRMV, good luck, the ugly eyed, non R, new 3 is a great ride, but it's looks and lessor bits make it the least desirable of the new 3s IMO.

Holy ****! That sounds like an ass-raping. They should at least throw in some lube and a reach around.
