I was in talking to my Dealer last weekend. (I got my 05 S3 three weeks ago. Blue Rocks by the way). They told me that they expected one more blue one in a couple of weeks, and that would be all they would get this season! The next date they would even talk about was August, and that was iffy.

That means that they had a total of five Speed Triples available for sale this season: One yellow, two black, and two blue. This dealer is a large and well respected Triumph dealership, and one of the black ones was sold to someone in California!

I'm so glad I put a deposit down while there were some available.

Now the Magazine articles are out and people will be reading about what great bikes they are. Just think how hard it will be to get one after this!

yeah buddy...i was told 2 to 4 weeks and week number four is almost over. i was told that it had shipped and was given a vin number so i guess that's a good sign. i heard that each dealer was getting 8 of them. and that after they are all gone rumor is that they would have an early release of 2006 and probably intoduce a new color. similar to what they did to meet the demand of the rocket when it first came out.

Hey Surgeon,

I feel your pain! I ordered mine 3 weeks ago, and I gotta wait til June 15. Sucks doesn't it? and if you have got your heart set on blue, then its gotta be blue. I want black....its a good thing we don't all want the same colour!

I keep telling myself the longer the wait, the more I'll enjoy it.
I hope that's true.

How do you like the Rockster? I almost bought one before I saw a picture of the 05 S3.

John

Surgeon - although it might be a bit of a trip for you, there are quite a few blue ones out here in the tristate area - a few in CT and MA - and there was a blue one in central PA I found as well (I had to search for a black one, as they were all sold out around here).

Let me know if you want any more info, and I will get you the dealer names and whatnot.

Here's the dealer in PA - it was still on the floor 1.5 weeks ago

SurgeonofSteel, check out NorthCoastMotorcycles. Last I saw they had a blue one in the showroom, but it might be sold by now...

Yep, I was right, its even listed on their website showroom so if you're lucky you might be able to call em up and claim it. They're located in Perrysburg, which is just off I75 after the 475 split at Toledo.
