Triumph profit dip

[Owl]

No wonder they're charging $40k for the new Trophy

Think I'd rather pay for the overpriced BMW. Makes the FJR or Concours look far more appealing...if you're into that?

Actually, since we're on the subject of expensive beemers, what about these?

Yeah, I like the S and the R, the GT and the old LT are a bit tea 'n' bikkies tho....

I had a old Trophy 1200. Loved the bike did 80,000k on it. I would seriously consider a new Trophy, the only problem is the stealer network are (IMHO) lying theiving criminals. Why would I buy a $40k top of the line motorcycle and have to take on all the responsibility of being the dealer?

I didn't know much about Triumph, so I thought I'd have a look at their website.
Turns out their newest models are not very exciting and their colour selection is rather bland.

Maybe Triumph riders don't want to ride something that looks like a circus.
