Re: Triumph Motorcycles Opens First Showroom in India in Bangalore


Thank you. I confirmed from the dealership, the insurance amount in the invoice that I was given doesn't include zero depreciation policy.

Re: Triumph Motorcycles Opens First Showroom in India in Bangalore

I didn't inquire about this. (Didn't know . I'm just 1.5 years into a job after college and still getting to know about stuff like this. Didn't even save tax in last 1.5 years, just to keep cash for the bike. . Lame move?). Will do that now and ask my dad too. And thank you for the wishes.

Thanks.

I booked the bike on 19th Dec (a little before the showroom opened, that's because I've been digging for this bike since last 3 years very badly) and at that time there were no promises about the delivery times.

For all I know, my booking number is 30 and there are 5 more guys above me for the Street Triple delivery. Out of that, 3 Striple owners will get the delivery by this month end. (or earlier, I've no idea. At least, first 2 owners of each class of bike were given the keys in yesterday's party). I went to the showroom yesterday to inquire about the delivery times, they said they will update me within a week.

Divya Sharan has already said it but I want to say it again, Please do opt for zero depreciation policy!. It might be a bit expensive but totally worth it in case something happens, you dont have to pay anything for any parts that got damaged.

And yes, a big congrats! I was so smitten by that Street Triple and was reading all about it yesterday.. might end up buying one someday

Going by the crowd gathering in my office building, which is also home to Bharti AXA, stories sound good to me.
Congratulations and when are you taking delivery? - It seems like most of the bikes displayed in the showroom are for delivery and are 'PDI' done.

Re: Triumph Motorcycles Opens First Showroom in India in Bangalore

Bharati AXA is a partner of AXA (as the name says). AXA is one of the best and respected insurance companies in the world.
AXA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW, did you opt for zero depreciation policy? If not, I suggest you do. And yes, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Re: Triumph Motorcycles Opens First Showroom in India in Bangalore

So, this is how the invoice of Street Triple ABS looks like.






So, the insurance is "Bharti Axa Normal". Guys, any reviews about them? This is my first purchase of a vehicle so don't really know much. General googling says that it's good. Any stories?

Sat on almost all Triumph bikes! (Feeling like that "Close enough" meme )


Bonneville - Very low seat height, good straight comfortable posture.

Street triple - Perfect riding posture according to me, almost exactly like RTR It feels like a good city bike, easy to maneuver in neutral as I moved it around a little.

Tiger 800XC - Can barely keep both foot down at minimum seat height & I am 5'7 . Loved the seat though, extremely comfy.

Rocket 3 - what can I say? It takes some effort to get the 300kg monster from side stand

Daytona - Everything is perfect if you are looking for a track bike. The tyres looked like it should never be ridden on Indian roads apart from race tracks


They are not offering test rides as of now, mostly next week. Let me see if they offer it for everyone or only those who booked.

There have been various reports/studies to track the growth in wealth while a politician holds a ministerial post/or any damn role of note when his party has a stake in the government(or municipality).
The growth spurt would put to shame most tech startups :

Re: Triumph Motorcycles Launch 10 motorcycles in India : Price, specs and more

Sheesh, nearly 1lakh of tax for a 6lakh bike, its daylight robbery. Wonder where the *u** is all that money going?

Re: Triumph Motorcycles Launch 10 motorcycles in India : Price, specs and more

The price list:

Anyone going to the party? I might be there in a hope that I'll find some fellow future Triumph riders. ( I think all the guys who booked the bike got a call, right? )

[MENTION=61028]whymail[/MENTION]. That was terrific, bhau. Here, I was reminded of the remark made by the astute, pragmatic and cooperative Honda workshop manager of a particular place when I asked him to replace the 14T front sprocket on my CBR 250 with an imported, after-market 15T one. He told me that he was doing this purely on a friendly basis and

A) as a rule, Honda does not allow such jobs to be done in its workshops as it is a mod without the explicit permission of HMC,

B) as my bike was past the warranty period, there were no issues about part replacement under warranty BUT and BUT, if I were to have a prang with this part on the bike, and the insurers got to know that this part was operational on the bike at the time of the accident, my insurance claim would definitely be void,

C) he would NOT be reflecting the job in his database so no receipt, nothing, (I paid Rs 100 to the mech directly. He charged me less as I too worked on the bike with him)

D) in case of above accident, he, the manager, would profess to no knowledge about the mod whatsoever and his infotech infrastructure would support his stand.

After this chat was over, I asked him if fitment of after-market parts would void the warranty whilst such warranty was in force. His reply was in a strong affirmative, that is to say, any and every non-default addition/deletion/modification/amendment et al WOULD definitely void the warranty UNLESS it was approved by HMC in writing.

This seems quite akin to what you have just written about in the case of Triumph. I think that every two and four wheeler maker globally would have almost identical norms. And for good reason too. I don't want to go OT and start a flame war by articulating the reasons but most of us would be aware of the cause and effect principle.

I had set myself a limit of Rs 6.5 lacs for the Bonnie. Now that has been broken and so is my heart. Seems that Kawasaki will have a new customer for its Ninja 650 in a couple of months.
