If the 05 will still have a full 2 year warranty and (wherever he lives) if the taxes were high on the bike, it seems like a good deal.



Hey everyone, thanks for responding!

I live in Orange County California, so taxes (and everything else for that matter) are pretty high.

As far as the offer to sale a 2003, thanks but I am interested in buying a new bike. Besides, I still need to put my bike on consignment, list it for sale, or tade it in. I'm thinking the market on VStroms should be better than the Triumph (no offense intended), so I figure the dealer might give me a decent trade in - especially since the '05 has been sitting on the showroom (or backroom) floor for 3yrs now?

Btw, when did Triumph go to the bigger twin for the America? I like the idea of the bigger motor - especially for SoCal highways.
