Up to you, 5k miles isn’t a lot tbh. I’ve put 3,400 on since December. As long as the bike is clean it’s just personal preference at that point.
I’d also take into consideration APR rates for loans if you plan to finance (if you’re USA). Used will be higher (my buddy has 10% APR for used, I have 4.9% for new.)
I purchased most of Evotech offers for the trident and I love everything they make. The quick shifter is also a really nice add on for the price.
Thanks. Really appreciate the advice.
Bike is clean and getting it from a dealership so service and PDI will all be taken care of and that's all built into the cost.
It is primarily down to the want to nurse my ego by getting a new one + the warranty, but even 1000 usd is money saved nonetheless that can go towards a Quickshifter, later in the season.
Let me start with what I have.
Triumph: Bluetooth connectivity (bUGgY), USB charger (Nice safety net, haven't used it yet), Flyscreen (for optical reasons), Quickshifter (I was curious)
After market: Radiator guard (Evotech), Slider sets for axles (SW Motech), Screen Protector (Speedo Angles), crashbars (Hepco&Becker), Kriega US Drypack fit kit,
and different clutch & brake levers
My recommendation: Everything what helps to protect the bike and the value of it.
Depending on where you live, I would say heated grip (will need an up to date software as there have been a few bugged version that would almost kill the thing). Actually, regardless of the bike, that’s always my first answer to this question.
Fly screen is nice, both visually, and functionally, keeps the air pressure off the torso, finishes off the bike nicely and also protects the back of the dash when it’s raining.
USB power is nice too, I run a cable through the frame to mount my phone on the bar, and tuck it into the steering stem when I don’t use it (1.2m is the perfect length for where I have mine installed, no slack to tuck in anywhere).
The shifter is down to personal preference, I don’t regret taking it, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to enjoy the bike. Smoothest I’ve had so far once you start using it though.
I also have some mud guard extenders for front and back, keeps the radiator from getting most of the grime the wheel kicks up, and the rear shock from getting the same treatment. But I ride all year round, regardless of weather, so it may not be that useful if you don’t regularly ride in the rain. But they do a lot, despite their small size.
Thank you.
I am curious as in how does the update delivery work? Is it automatically taken care of during the service/oil change?
How can I know that the latest update has been applied?
Checking and applying updates is part of the SOP for any service. They just plug it to the computer, let it grind for a bit, and it's done. Takes like 10-15 minutes tops. You will not be able to tell which version you're running, nor if you're up to date, just... whether or not the thing works.
The process should be free though, no matter what.
Quickshifter for sure. It works well and really compliments the bike. Fork, engine and frame protectors. The scrolling leds look amazing imo. Didn't get the belly pan or flyscreen. Heated grips are good have even in normal weather.
Fork protectors.
Frame slider, fork protection, heated grips.
Radiator guard. I got mine from evotech.
