The local dealer has red Rockets discounted $1000, black ones get $500 store credit. No, I'm not trying to start a color war :-D , just stating the facts. I'm not certain he's even unloaded all of the original 6 ordered in spring 2004, so it's time to discount. He started throwing the TORs in earlier this summer. Apollo 18 mentioned his dealer was at $13,999.
I'm surprised to hear there is a shortage anywhere because my impression to this point was that they have not been selling well. I talked to a classic bike magazine publisher in Sturgis, and while Triumph agreed to advertise with him it wasn't for the Thruxton or Bonneville that he thought more appropriate, but for the Rocket. This led to speculation that perhaps they weren't selling as well as hoped.
I'd love to be able to get some actual U.S. sales numbers.
