Welcome Legionaire! I hope you find the time you spend here informative and enjoyable.
I am like kaosj in that I have never owned a new bike, so I have never had to deal with warranty issues and the like. I also have done whatever work I could myself and have sent off the work I couldn't.
I would imagine that the odds are good that you would not really need the dealer, but as soon as I say that someone will come on here and start with the horror stories.
Triumph doesn't have any more issues than any other maker, but if you did end up with one of "those" bikes, the headache would go on forever it would seem.
After all this, I just don't know. I guess it depends on if you are buying for the practicality or the passion of owning a bike.
I think I would buy a used T3 or T5 and ride the wheels off it and not worry about the dealer.
Good luck!
