The Euro Shop of Waco, TX has one as a demo model.. They've raised the fork tubes a bit in the triple clamps and have installed a jet kit and D&D slip-ons..
A little loud for my taste, but definitely can here the sound of that triple!

You found another

Bought my '04 TBS a month ago in Indianapolis, IN, slightly used, it now resides in Naperville, IL

Considered several other brands and bikes, the TBS felt most comfortable on me

#12 is in San Diego, CA.
I picked it up last Thursday, and have ridden it every day since. Now, I remember! Riding is supposed to be fun....

Only 12 found so far.
I dont belive that there are that many unsold.
I can only think that the owners of the rest are to busy
riding them to write.

It is time for the first quasi-statistical analysis of the data so far...

If the universe of '04 TBSs is 150 (which assumes worldwide), then our response of 12 figures to 12.5% which ain't bad for a survey. Now one would have to buy into the applicability of reverse engineering in order to extrapolate that the response rate of 12.5% is a valid representation of the universe given that 12.5% response rates are not terribly uncommon when surveying specific universes (actually, 12.5% is about twice what one might expect which raises the possibility that Triumph made 300 worldwide or, in the alternative, TBS riders are somewhat more responsive than others). In either case, there appears to be a reasonable case mounting for the notion that "04 TBS owners are a rare breed.

I dont want to be pedantic,
but 12 out of 150 is 8% which makes us a rarer breed.

Pedantic it ain't, accurate it is. That's what I get for firing up the ole TI calculator. Garbage in, garbage out.

I'm curious- for comparison, does anyone know how many '03 TBSs Triumph produced? I wonder if in '03 they were already ramping down production...
