765 Help Please With A Deal And Valuation

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance for any help. So, I've talked myself in to a new bike after getting a new job with a 60 mile round commute with city riding for work purposes.

So I have a 2011 Striple R in pretty average condition (see photos) with a number of accessories including arrow cans, belly pan, anodized brake fluid reservoir, bobbins.

11,000 miles which means big 12,000 service is due, which I'm told will influence what I get. Any other accessories you can spot let me know as it has a lot apparently (according to the original ad) and I wasn't sure what was standard when I bought it.

Dealers are quoting me around 3-3.5k which seems reasonable .

The Triumph dealer I'm dealing with has an offer for a 765S new for £7150 (pre reg or not,my choice) but no quick shifter included (a triumph offer at the mo). I'm pushing for 3.5k with 3.5k to pay. Any feedback appreciated as I have no real experience buying a new bike or dealers in general (this was the only purchase). Pics below, thanks

Cheers seems these are in the right ball park. Its the condition and service I'm concerned on they may knock me down on

Any tips on handling the dealer negotiation also appreciated

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciated.

I'm sending in photos to them as well to try and firm it up. I've said I don't want to travel there and them examine it with a fine tooth comb and try and knock me down. They reassured as you've said this shouldn't happen. Big purchase for me so want to get my ducks in a row so to speak.

 

Cheers for that. Only issue is it's 2 hours away and don't fancy repeating the trip (as will have to swap my bike and take the new one). But being prepared to go home and not being forced in to a deal is definitely something I'll take on board.

 

Any thoughts on this guys?

12k service due soon as has been pointed out by dealers on mine

 

The new S and R offers of £1300 off have got me excited haha! Not sure I can endure the pain of private sale.

I've done some trips before and I think as long as I have the right kit I'll be ok. 40-60 minutes with heated grips etc should be fine. But I get your point.

I have taken a breath and realise I don't need an RS in all fairness as I don't intend to do track days an R or S would be more then sufficent (altough I want 'that' dash)!

 

Cheers for advice above.

Right I've brokered a good deal with a Triumph dealer 3.5k for mine and 8 for the R with quickshifter brand new. No pre reg either!

 

Thank you Sir. Bought at the right time it would seem and dealt with the organ grinder from the off!

Grey model as well! Very pleased. Thanks again for everyones help and advice.

So how to protect this baby. I will definitely have to get things right on the maintenance front now!

 

Bullocks! Wish I'd seen this before I did the deed. I managed to get a £50 Triumph shop voucher. Not sure he'd have went further though in fairness.

In win terms it feels like I'd taken her home after a great first date but her making the breakfast as well was unlikely.
