I called Triumph last Tuesday to ask when in August I should receive my 800XCx. The sales man said he could have one for me on Friday! Picked it up yesterday, 2 months early!
I put 150 km on it riding home. First impression is very good. Lots of power, smooth and good suspension. I've read many guys say the sound on the Triumph triple engine is intoxicating and I have to agree. Didn't play with the rider modes much as traffic was crazy all the way. Will head out today on some quieter roads to play with the settings.
Triumph recommended insurance was 22,478b. I asked for Thai Sri and they told me it would be around 25,000b but I couldn't get it until Monday. Didn't want to ride out of Bangkok without insurance so I took the cheaper option which they said was the same coverage.
They apologized a couple time for not having an english owners manual for me but said they have ordered them and I should have one in a couple weeks.
Overall a pleasant experience dealing with them. Will have to wait and see how the first service goes.
Dwayne.
