Nah. That's definitely a parking manoeuvre. Vertical parking, get used to it people. It's the way of the future.

I was told on Saturday that the price has been annouced. $14,995.

It's $11,999 in Aus. We're being ripped. As usual.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Or they're getting a hell deal...
Compares favourable with the UK price doesn't it?
Either way, I'm:
a) stoked at the price
b) concerned about what they ripped off the daytona to get it that cheap.
Rest In Peace
OMG!!!
I want it, I want it
Now, for the illegal black market sale of my kidney!...anyone??
Forum whore
No it doesn't. Bikes are typically 10-15% more expensive in the UK new. 2nd hand they are worth chump change though.
Someone is having a laugh. The NZ dollar practically matches the Aus one. We should be paying less than $13000.

No way! They'll have more orders than they can fill at that price anyway... they'd be crazy to under price them.
Forum whore
They're competeing with Z750s, GSR600s, Bandit 650s, SV650s, etc, etc. They can't afford NOT to "under" price them.

Good point, although the rave reviews this little bolid is getting so far (along with the reputation the Speed Triple has always enjoyed as an all round awesome handling bike) means the resellers have huge confidence in this new item...
Triumph is very much in a class of its own with that one as far as I'm concerned...and that point was worth about .00003 of a cent I know!
But looking at the pricing structure they have sold other models in the past, $14500 was what I expected...

Forget the kidney. You will get far more for that cute butt in your avatarOMG!!!

If it is $14,995 then I reckon that's fair value for a european bike, especially compared to the other euro hooligan bikes at about $23,000 (Monster, Superduke, Tuono).

No it isn't. It's $11,999 in Aus. It should be $13999 here which would put it into the upper end of the price range of its natural competitors which are the middleweight naked bikes. It's probably made in Malaysia anyway.Forget the kidney. You will get far more for that cute butt in your avatar

No way would a naked 675 compete with a Tuono or a top end of the range Monster, on either performance or quality.

I want to see one in person already.
I've got an idea. No-one buy one for the first 6 months and hope they drop the price to $11,995 like they did with the speed four (it was initially $14,995 too).
Although... after riding around on the new Tiger for a while. WANT!
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
I think people will be willing to pay a more for a bike that could be (I reserve judgement till I see it) considerably cooler/sexier than it's natural Japanese competition.
If style and brand name had no effect, there would be a shitload less Ducatis, Harleys and Triumphs on the road. Not saying they bad value for money or poor machines, but think if what life would be like if all bike purchasing decisions were based on more calculated reasoning?
Rest In Peace
Good point...then since you're keen, please forward $16000 to account number: 5555 6789 2345 1256Forget the kidney. You will get far more for that cute butt in your avatar

And I'll be glad to send you the photo of that cute butt you seem to be so taken with
