R3T Anti-lock brakes (ABS)

I'm still not having any luck...it's like somebody went back in and erased all mention of it because I know I saw it...somewhere.

I found a couple by googling "Triumph R3 Touring ABS", this first one was in Wales, UK, the ABS was optional and it was available on a demo:
New Triumph Rocket Iii Touring*(2294cc)* - Woods Motorcycles

and from a posting back on November 07 of last year...just before I decided to go for the Thunderbird:
http://www.r3owners.net/rocket-iii-...g-abs-come-bunch-accessories-like-2010-a.html

Here is another one in the UK:
Triumph Rocket III Touring from On Yer Triumph.

And here is another one at Metropolis Triumph (UK)...I visited one of their showrooms when I was in London just down from Waterloo Underground station:
Triumph Rocket III Touring Metropolis Motorcycles, London

So it appears that in the UK (at least) the ABS is offered so maybe for 2012 it may hit here.

...then again...I just found this:
2011 Triumph Rocket III Touring

So...in short....I'm so confused...

I think my dealer said it could be retro fitted for £1000 (approx $1500). I am going in there next week and will ask again

 

[Molinoman]

According to the Woods site it said it could be retro fitted for 600 pounds (can't figure out how to get the L symbol for pounds to type out?).

And last but not least (I'm stopping my research for now)...something from Cycle World:
New Bike File: 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring - Buyer's Guide - CycleWorld.com

They list the ABS as optional (for the 2010) for only $300...you UK blokes are being ripped off at 600 and 1,000 pounds...if this is true.

$300 if ordered as an option at purchase (even that seems too cheap!) not when retro fitted

 

[Molinoman]

Well...if I do end up getting the R3T as well and I can find out the colors for 2012 (c'mon Haze Red/black...like my 2010 Thunderbird) I'll be sure and have them put ABS on.

Even though myself and most here would hate you (a jealous hate) for having them, matching red haze R3 and T-Bird would be awesome !!!

Still, no one man should wield that kind of power !

 

[Molinoman]

Aw....I wouldn't be wielding all that much power unless I went ahead and got the (already seen) Phantom Red Haze/black Roadster as well...then I would be scaring even myself.

No way that's correct information. Triumph charges $800 for ABS regardless of model.
