    Unhappy 2009 Triumph Street Triple R Matte Orange

    SOLD or traded in at least
    I never thought I would be getting rid of her, but it turns out once I switched addresses, I was no longer eligible for my father's insurance bundling discount, so my insurance rates are tripling (no pun intended). It pains me to think about selling my bike, but at this point in my life it is not an affordable option for me.

    Up for sale/trade is my 2009 Triumph Street Triple R with 17,000 miles (and counting). It currently has a rebuilt title because the PO laid it down and cracked the head of the motor. The dealer I bought it from switched the motor with a Daytona 675 motor (same motor with more aggressive cams) and I did the legwork to change the salvage title to a rebuilt title. For those that don't know, a rebuilt title is the equivalent to a clean title from the state's perspective. The bike was meticulously gone over by a specialized state inspector to ensure it was in perfect running condition. I also have a copy of the title from the donor Daytona which shows the miles on the engine. Coincidentally, they are almost exactly the same as the miles on the bike itself which works nicely for maintenance.

    This is the absolute perfect bike for every day use, spirited rides, slight touring, and commuting. The bike runs beautifully. I have put 11,000 miles on it since I have owned it and it has never had a hiccup. The rectifier was replaced under recall, but besides that all it has needed is the standard oil change.

    Cosmetically, there are some scratches on the tank, rad guards, and alternator cover. I lowsided the bike at 25-30mph on the right side, but the frame sliders protected the bike. The exhaust is slightly dented and scratched, but I polished out most of the scratches with some elbow grease.

    Modifications:
    Arrow 3-1 Lowboy exhaust
    GB racing front axle sliders
    GB racing frame sliders
    GB racing swingarm spools
    Competition werkes fender eliminator (have stock fender)
    Bar end mirrors (have stock mirrors)
    heated grips

    I understand that the title and imperfections bring the price down and I believe I have priced the bike accordingly.

    $5,000 cash OBO, pick up only unless you are planning on arranging transportation from Philadelphia.

    I am very interested in trading for a 2009+ Bonneville SE/Thruxton/T100 and am willing to add cash if the Bonne requires. No other trades please. Insurance is much cheaper on a Bonne, and ideally I would like to continue to ride a Trumpet.

    Here are some pictures of her. If you are interested in more detailed pictures I would be happy to take some for you.

    Thanks. The Daytona motor gives it a little more pep, too. For those trying to figure out the motors, Daytonas come with a sliver oil pan and Streeties have a black.

    Traded it in for a 2013 Triumph Bonneville. They gave me a hell of a deal on trade in I could not refuse. The reason was in the first paragraph in my listing:

    I never thought I would be getting rid of her, but it turns out once I switched addresses, I was no longer eligible for my father's insurance bundling discount, so my insurance rates are tripling (no pun intended). It pains me to think about selling my bike, but at this point in my life it is not an affordable option for me.
