I finally got a chance to get to Roseville, MI and visit Detroit Triumph. It was a very good visit and the owner of the business was very helpful. I did get approved for financing on the Speedmaster I want, but the interest rate is awful high at 11.9%. Especially since my current bike is at 4.9%.
After looking at the bikes, I realize I like the 2006 Speedmasters much better. I think the new wheels look pretty bad in person, like they were powdercoated without prepping them. Also, at $9,200 OTD, I might be better off looking for a used one with low miles. I wish I could have seen a black Speedmaster in person, which may have swayed me more to get one sooner. I guess I should put my Mean Streak up for sale and keep my eyes peeled for an '05 or '06 Speedmaster. If I can find a leftover at a dealer that would take a trade, I may just do it before Spring.
Although I am being cautious about financing, I am still really stuck on this bike and am excited to pick one up sometime this year.
