Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about the 07's. My deposit isn't down yet, but I'm getting close to just going for it.
I was kind of working under the assumption 2007's wouldn't go for less than than MSRP since they're barely here...
unfortunately my "free-bags-great-deal 2006 Triumph Sprint ST @ $10,000" turned kind of expensive when I added the math...
$9995 for a blue 2006
... oh wait, black w/ new brakes comes out in 07.
$10,900 for black 2007
... oh wait, only ABS models come out anytime soon
$11,700 for black 2007 ABS
... but you *need* the can for the triple!
$12,225 for black 2007 ABS w/ OR silencer
... don't forget freight & assembly!
$12,825 for black 2007 ABS w/ OR silencer
... tax & registration! (~10% is a good estimate)
$14,107 for black 2007 ABS w/ OR silencer
... and lastly, INSURANCE! of course, I only got the US version of my motorcycle endorsement 2 years ago (was licensed in Canada for 7 years) so I got owned on this one.
$15,807 final cost for the first year.
yikes. Sorry to whine out loud. Just tossing this all around in my head.
Sure can sympathize with "oldgoat57" in the tuneboy thread:
Motorcycle accessories prices are getting crazy. i sold my track bike and my R1 because of the high costs , tires, insurance, fee's for track days ,tires, did i mentions tires, also the accessories we all need. thinkin of the new sprint ST but, I'm not sure i want to get back into the costs of owning a motorcycle. Sorry for the ramble, thinking out loud.
