New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
. It was also interesting to see who was NOT offering demos. They include Honda (they never do), Ducati and BMW (they used to) and Triumph...who used to be there as well.
Ducati had demo rides going on at the Daytona dealer.They had quite a few different bikes that you could ride.Triumph hasn't had demo rides in the past few years. The 2 trucks that they had travelling around the country has been discontinued. Triumph had no presence at Daytona this year.I understand that the management of Triumph USA wanted to use the budget money in a different area.There's been a change in management at Triumph USA since then so, hopefully they'll think about bringing the demo rides back.I had a few friends that bought Triumphs after taking a demo ride.
The Kaw Ninja 300 that you rode is a twin, not a single.
Triumph let that guy go quite a while ago.Having worked at a Triumph dealership and leading 100's of riders on demo rides my experience is that the vast majority come just to ride a bike with no intention of purchase. I also worked several major events that were mostly H-D events and again, the vast majority that did stop at Triumph were only there because they had a Bonnie ages ago.While some bikes are sold at those events I'd agree that Triumph should spend their $$$$ at other types of gatherings and such. Now, if they could only figure out what those are!As for Guzzi, I bought mine without ever having rode one. There're just ssssoooooo cool I have to have one.
Thanks for the report. If I were buying a new bike (fat chance) ;D The FZ-07 would definitely be on the short list..
I second the FZ-7, if I where in the market it would be on my short list.
I know that it is risky letting someone take a bike out,
