The 2010 R3 Touring that I was looking at yesterday was in solid black, and comes with a lot of extras that would amount to a pile of money if one was to buy it from their catalog.
The biggest knock against this bike is that since it's not a 2011, it doesn't have ABS, apparently the 2011s have ABS standard, that's pretty nice.
Here's the write-up on this bike BTW:
"New for 2010, Triumph has liberally applied items from its official accessories catalog to create a machine with even greater touring capability. Fog lamps, long haul seat, adjustable backrest, luggage rack and sissybar, dresser bars, highway pegs, and additional trim on hard bags and headlights'''
The price on this 2010 here is $18,699.00 Canadian ($18,680.41 USD) + another $200.00 for "administration fees" and $800.00 for freight & PDI, so you're up to almost $20,000.00 + 13% sales tax, for a grand total of $22,260.00 Canadian ($22,254.01 USD).
Not exactly cheap but then I just spotted another 2010 R3 Touring in another province nearby for the exact same price but they eat the tax as long as you buy before Dec.24th. That's quite a savings! $2,562.00 Canadian to be exact, if my math is correct. It would be $19,700.00 out the door.
I'm wondering if the new 2011s with the ABS as standard, will come with the fog lamps, long haul seat, adjustable backrest, luggage rack and sissybar, dresser bars, highway pegs, and additional trim on hard bags and headlights too?
I saw a picture of the 2011 with the ABS and it only has a windshield and passenger floorboards, nothing else. If the 2011 with ABS has all of the extra stuff such as what's on the 2010, I'd pass on these left-over 2010s and wait for the new ones with ABS.
So, does the 2011 Rocket III Touring (with standard ABS) also come with fog lamps, long haul seat, adjustable backrest, luggage rack and sissybar, dresser bars, highway pegs, and additional trim on hard bags and headlights like on the 2010s?
