Description:
|
I am offering a 1999 Triumph Tiger 885i for sale. The bike has 33332 miles, which is certainly a lot of miles, but not unusual for a dedicated adventure tourer like this. The bike is super clean with less nicks and scratches than one would expect on a 9 year old bike that has been used for it's intended purpose. It has never been wrecked. The only unusual mark is a small crack in the front fender where a wooden pallet fell on the bike when it was parked in a garage (picture attached).
I'm selling the bike because I bought it a couple of days ago with that as my intended purpose. I have a family member going through a divorce and they are having to liquidate some toys. He gave me a good deal on this bike, so I figured I would take the deal and try to earn a few bucks on it. I can't ride two bikes at once and this bike is not different enough from my 2007 KLR650 to warrant keeping both.
The PO gave me a very thorough stack of paperwork to document the maintenance history, most of which has been performed at dealer shops. That's either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective.
Items of interest:
* Triumph panniers with very trick release mechanism
* Triumph centerstand
* MRA windscreen (taller than stock & tinted)
* New-ish tires - Trailwing on back & D607 on front (PO said the back has about 2K miles on it and he got 14K out of the last one - same tire)
Full disclosure:
* Engine makes bit of a high-pitched whistle sound. This may be normal, as I'm used to a thumper. There are no codes on computer and the bike runs smooth as silk with good power.
* Normal nicks & scratches - all very minor (see pics)
* Crack in front fender (about 3" long) - very fixable & does not affect performance at all (see pic)
* OEM belly pan is missing (as far as I can tell, this is a decorative item and I think it looks better without)
* Right side mirror is epoxied onto the stalk - both mirrors are 100% vibration free - like looking in the mirror in the bathroom
* Triumph badge missing from right pannier
* Euro-flash trigger and horn button not working currently - I plan to clean contacts tomorrow - will edit if I get fixed. All other controls 100%
Blue book on the bike is as follows:
* Trade-in = $3200
* Retail = $4655
These figures do not account for the OEM panniers nor is there a place in the online tool to enter mileage. I figure the panniers offset the higher mileage anyway. As shown in the title of this thread, I am asking $3800. I will entertain any reasonable offer. Also, I will be as accommodating as possible as relates to delivery and/or shipping. I've never shipped a bike, though, so I would need a lot of direction on that.
