It's very common for a manufacturer to proclaim a bike sold out when their dealers have ordered all they plan to make of that run. It does not mean final customers have bought them all. The first Indian Scouts are a good example of this. Polaris proclaimed them all sold relatively early in the year and my closest dealer still had 10 of them on the sales floor at the end of August, and come winter there was a 0% for 72 month incentive on them to get them out the door.
Didn't I read on this site the regular run of R3s will be sold first instead of TFCs as originally planned because Triumph didn't catch a faulty kickstand bolt prior to shipping the TFC?
Regarding the TFC and other expensive bikes, I know this sounds like another "walked barefoot uphill in the snow to school" stories, but here in Washington after taxes, etc., that TFC will cost more OTD than I paid for the house I live in. Yes, I know all about inflation, blah blah blah, but I still think it colors my perception of value for my dollar.
