It seems some Triumph dealerships are being forced to shed other motorcycle lines and sell Triumph only while others are able to keep multiple lines along with the Triumph brand. I wonder why??? Does Triumph have a double standard???
Pulled into St Pete Powersports in Florida and they informed me, they had dropped the Triumph line for that reason. They felt it was better to drop the one Triumph line than several others. They hadn't pulled the Triumph sign down yet. Then drove to Tampa Triumph which only sells Triumph. They seemed to be doing well with quite a pile of accessories and bikes in stock along with several in-house modified Thruxtons (turbo equipped), Bobbers and a Speedmaster that was gorgeous. Only had one new Rocket which they said wasn't a big seller. They seemed to be the only dealer in the whole Tampa, St. Petes area.
Another Triumph dealership in Staynor Ontario, was being forced to move to Barrie Ontario even though they felt things were going well for them. They lost their Triumph line but took on the Moto Guzzi one????
Not sure what Triumph is doing in the marketing category. They may have an excellent design and development team, but marketing...... sucks!
