    Default 2017, RT limited

    I was at a local Triump/Indian dealership today and they took in a 2017 RT Limited and had a price of $24,000 dollars. I thought it was a good deal. It had 200 miles on it. The story goes, an elderly man bought it the spring. He then passed away. His son did not like want three wheels. He traded it in on a Tigre adventure bike. Bruce

    MHO, Average price for a used bike. 20-22 would be more in line for a good deal..... But, if you are looking for a relatively new 2017, then.....?

    why pay more for a used than a new ?

    the demographic of our ryding community guarantees a healthy supply of super low mile, unabused spyders.

    I wasn't sure medically, if my recent purchase was good idea.

    I paid $23,000 for Mr. White, a 2017 RT-S....new with warranty. Offer $22K and see how far the dealer jumps. You can always go up.....24 ain't bad but he does not want a "three wheeler" in his used inventory. He will take 23. Good luck.


    I traded my 2014 RT for a 2017 Mr. White RT-S. I am George Lewis. I live two miles from Boerne, TX. I am 89, retired USAF and Sony Corp. I also have a GW MotorTrike. My email: scoot62@aol.com

    This is an RT LIMITED. The MSRP is more like $34K.

    If you can find a dealer that still has one brand new on the floor, you might get it for $27K......might.

    I sure would want to verify that "story" but in Florida it is against the law for a dealer to divulge who the previous owner was......even if they say it's OK. Damned crooked big business/politicians.

    And don't forget...BRP has a current rebate on "selected" 2017's. It's $4,500 off of list. I have done no further research--because I am not in the market for another just now.

    Dealer asking prices are always on the "high" part of blue book. They should be negotiable to a point.

    Worth looking at "if the price is right."

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Point out to them that a new bike warranty is even included in that price...
