Two buddies in NY just got the scramblers.  We've all had several Triumphs.  They love them.

That's just silly.  Are they selling any at that price?  If so, must be a lot of uninformed buyers in your area.

Yes...of course it's silly....but I am sure one can shave off some of that, as it is negotiable...Here are two more beauties:

* 2023 Triumph T100 Bonneville - sale price of $8,995, OTD (Out-the-Door) price of $11,925.11

*2024 Kawawaki W800 - MSRP of $10,400 - OTD price of $13,816.25

YUPPER!!  Let's fill up that crack pipe and light 'er up!! :laugh: :grin: :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:

The 400 Scrambler is on my short list for my eventual 'old man' bike. Maybe in another year or two there will be some low mileage units available w/o all the dealer charges.

I love my V85TT but every year it gets a little heavier and my legs seem to get shorter...

I'm with you Egg. I loved my V85 as the most versatile machines I have ever owned. But after 4 years, it started to feel too tall.  My route was to go back to a 1400 which is low enough for me to flat foot even though it is heavy.  A friend who is 75 quit riding for a few years and came back on a Honda 165 scooter.  It does everything he wants, but bigger bikeitous has got him so he is already talking about something like the Triumph.

I test rode one recently. The engine is a very refined and smooth as a four pot. I was initially disappointed with it because of that but I soon realised it does deliver power like a single should. It's a peach of an engine.

Like minds.   I will have owned my V85 come July.  I still love it but I very much consider it my "big bike".   I wanted a light weight back roads
scratcher and after much research ordered my Triumph Scrambler 400 back in October and took delivery mid March.  It is exactly what I wanted
and the motor is a little gem with plenty of pull.  If I ever get another big motorcycle, (which is doubtful) my parameters of a big bike would be
650 cc tops and weighing in at 470 - 480 pounds with gear.  I will be 72 in June.  Weight becomes the enemy and I will employ
Colin Chapman's Corollary of "add lightness."

I was just in my local Triumph dealer yesterday.

Paul says they're  selling well, and putting a crimp in
the RE 350 sales. The Triumph has almost double the
HP at 40, so can actually run on the highway if needed.

And they look GREAT.

That same dealer wanted $1000. to sell a bike on consignment for me. Hard pss!

How much should they charge?  Your bike is filling up their floor space, they had to photo and post it for the website, show it to prospective customers, field emails from flakes/tirekickers/sob story bad credit buyers, PDI it, lose out on selling one of their in-stock used bikes (which would have a higher margin), handle the sale paperwork and do the title/DMV/tax work.... Plus when they sell it, who will be the point of contact if the buyer comes back with problems or issues with the bike? Not you- the dealer.

AND they will be able to negotiate a higher price for you than you could get online or marketplace or craigslist or whatever as a private seller...

P2P sales are often a pain in the ass, that's why you wanted to consign it... Why wouldn't they take a cut for their time, effort, marketing reach, and sales expertise?

This OTD stuff can get very confusing.  It's best just to stick with the cost of the bike itself and dealer's "fees" OTD.  Some of us live in states where the excise/sale taxes and tag are paid separately from the dealer at the tag agency.   And of course, every state has different taxes and fees.

I'll say I was pretty shocked with JJ's OTD costs.

The other point, it doesn't appear that factories allow for much negotiation on prices.  I'm not sure how they control that, perhaps it's the franchise agreement or inventory.
