I live near Conway, Arkansas. I keep seeing this Trophy in this car lot so I thought I would inquire about it.

It is for sale. It belongs to the dealer selling the cars. It's a 2000 model dark blue, with top bag (trunk) and side bags. It has a Sargent seat. 11,000 miles and all the maintenance documents.

The guy said $5000, but he did not seem to firm. The bike is immaculate. If anyone around wants a good Trophy 1200, there is one here.........John

Sounds like this one I was watching a couple of weeks ago:

completed Ebay listing

Must have been a deadbeat bidder.

Yep!! That's it. In fact, I live in Greenbrier, Arkansas. I see this bike everyday when I ride past it...........

I re-read where that Ebay was sold on Nov 25th. I think the guy that owns it now is the guy that bought it off Ebay. The present owner said he bought it locally from a friend.

The present owner says he has no time to ride it. He rides a HOG with a HOG group and the Trophy is not welcomed. He says he put only 20 miles on the bike.

As of today (12-7-07), it's still sitting for sale at the car dealership he runs. It is covered to keep the rain off. Still asking $5000.

Sweet. My first Triumph was a '97 Trophy, which replaced my '91 ST1100. I would love to have another one but I'm pushing it with SWMBO as it is. I will just have to get by with the GS for transportation and the TBS for variety.

However, Triumph releasing an updated trophy with shaft drive and ABS would really get my attention.

John, I travel to Table rock regularly and want to buy some things from Cycle Gadgets. Have you had any experience with them? Thanks. Craig

Craig, I never heard of Cycle Gadgets, but I did look them up. They said they are moving to Eureka Springs. There are a few club memebers up in the NW corner of Arkansas so maybe they have been to this place??

Shawn, Shaunlee, VR, and others.

Speaking of Lake Table Rock, it's about 2+ hours north of me by car. 45 minites by motorcycle!!! (only kidding on that one)

There is a back road that goes from Table Rock to Eureka Springs. Hwy 86. Very scenic!! Then, go to Beaver, AR and see a "wonder of the world". In that town is the "Little Golden Gate Bridge".

That's just a little out of my riding range to go up there and back this time of year. But, when spring comes, let's ride!!!
