Well, Arrow is over $1000, first service at dealer is probably $100-$200, good rate, discount if you were going to buy accessories anyway...

Looks good to me. And you know what the 2008 model is, so you know what you are missing and saving $.

What part of the country do you live in? That can make a difference. Is this the out the door price? Tax, Tag, and what ever you need to pay to be riding down the rode?

That sounds like a good deal to me. I paid $9,999 OTD and that was with no extras. Like Harley said, the Arrow exhaust is worth $1k by itself. I say go for it. Of course, see if you can grind them down anymore. If not, take it.

Just for a comparison,
My bike was 9,999
My pipe was 1200
T&T&T was 800
My Accessories discount was 600 so:
9999 + 1200 + 800 = 11,999 - 600 = 11,400 and change.

First service was $95
Second service was $148 @6K

I got mine in april and got to choose the color I wanted, but like someone said you know what the 08's have that the 07 doesn't. To me the brembos are a great upgrade but the new wheels look like Triumph borrowed some left over BMW stock.

I'd get if you're after a green one, get it. Then add a hugger to reduce the crap it slings on your back when you chop the tail.

Good Deal! Take it. You should feel great about it and about getting a great bike.

FYI - MY OTD last spring (2007) on a '06 w/all the black aftermarket bits installed, carbon fiber dual Micron exhaust, etc. was $10,500.

BTW - Which NJ dealer?

yeah, Which dealer

I'm going to be tomorrow to Freehold Triumph to get pricing in a Blazing Orange 08. I want the Arrow 3-1, seat cowl, belly pan and bar end mirrors too.

Hoping I can get a good deal as my family has purchased there before.
