My closest Triumph dealer is 150 miles away. I've never needed them but when I do its going to be painful. I do my own maintenance by planning ahead and ordering parts online that are shipped t my house. This solution has worked to date, if I ever have a major problem that has to go to the dealer its going to be a major pain in the butt. I took all this into account when I bought my son his bike - a yamaha. My thoughts were if he had a honda, suzuki, yamaha, of kawasaki he could find a dealer in about every town if he had a problem. You are talking about buying a new bike which, I guess - never been fortunate enough to get a new bike - has to go back to the dealer for warrenty maintenance. That's a long way to go to get service. If I'm riding 1000 miles round trip, I want it to be where I want to go. I love my Triumph, it always stands out amongst other bikes, maybe because they are few and far between, maybe because dealers are few and far between. I wouldn't tell you not to get a Triumph. I will say that any dilemma that puts you into the seat of a new sport bike ain't no dilemma. Enjoy the new bike.
