a bit below many predictions!!!
Scrambler 400x $5,595
Speed 400 $4,995
next question; how much for shipping and dealer prep?

just making a rough guess but With import and all the other fees it will probably b another $1,800. - $2,000. Added to the retail price out the door so looking around $8,000.-$8,500. On the Scrammy and $7,000.-$7,500. on the Speed…FTG

I spoke with a couple of dealers not too long ago about pricing and each told me Triumph charges $625 per bike for destination. One dealer quoted $200 prep fee and $500!!!!! documentation fee. The other quoted $300 prep and $100 doc fee. S.C. sales taxes for vehicles max out at $300. ergo a scrambler would be $6620 speed $6020
I would want the heated grips I'm guessing 300 to 400.
I would like a center stand but that doesn't seem like a possibility nor spools.
I will be looking long and hard at the scrambler.

It will be interesting to see what the price is at dealerships. I'm surprised at the limited reviews on the bikes. I thought they were in circulation in some parts of the world already. Are any US dealers doing pre-orders? Also, where will these bikes be located in the forum?

I don't mind a setup fee if the dealer does a proper PDI (pre delivery servcie) but all they seem to do is bolt on the bars, mirrors, front wheel, check the oil, and some dealers install a charging pigtail.

I don't pay "document fees". I tell the dealer if you want the sale I want the title or MCO, a bill of sale, and I go to MVD myself.

Did you pay sales tax on the bike price only? Surely you don't pay taxes on Setup, Freight and Doc Fees. I bought mine out of my home state of ky and not pay the taxes of 6% yet. (cash deal) I'll pay them Monday when I register the bike. Just curious.

Just bought mine 2 days ago and here is the cost breakdown. Bike $4995/freight$530/dealer fee $299 wrote check for $5824 and since I bought out of state gonna owe Florida ~$375, so all in for ~$6200. If that helps. This dealer usually doesn't charge freight but the dealer cost on this bike is very close to retail, has to charge the $530 freight, all and all dealer is making ~$500 on deal, not ~$2000 plus that Powersport Dealers are demanding. BTW insurance is $180/yr full coverage (69 yr old). I'm happy with the price, dealership, and proximity to my winter residence--all that really matters.
