Just came back from the dealer and they said triumph is not even making the grey coor for 08 yet any truth to this or my dealer is misinformed?

Hi googus. Maybe the problem is with the colour description; Triumph call it 'Graphite'. The first 08 Graphite Sprint ST that I've seen was deliverd to my dealer 2 or 3 weeks ago. It definitely exists. It looks very classy but not terribly exciting IMO.

Thank Dave I meant Graphite. I was just if the sales guy new what he was talking about. He did n't even know that they switch to a metal tank

It Might be different here in the states.

They have a graphite Sprint at my dealer here in California so they're definitely out there.

That irritates me when paid employees don't know their job. If I was selling Triumph's, I would know everything customers need to know. If I did not know something, I would ask my co-workers, not give out bad information.

It seems that people like us on this forum that do this for a hobby know more than a lot of salespeople.

I certainly hope they are available. Because I plan on this being me in a couple of months!!

Are you sure they let you do trackdays with luggage, mirrors and working lights

I think I'm of the same thought as you. The graphite is a great color. My current bike is graphite. It helps that it's a two-tone, but that color alone may be just a little too subtle for me. I'm really curious to see real owner pictures of it, rather than Triumph's ad pictures.
