Street Triple deposit contributions

[Loyly]

I had email through from Triumph the other day offering £500 towards a new Street Triple, even on the RS model. I know the bike is a bit of a favourite around here so this may be of interest to anyone thinking of making the jump.

I'm not one for PCP deals really, as I always feel like I'd be stuck with one marque for the rest of my life if I went for it. However, some folk like 'em and the monthly of less than £100 seems fair.

Shame the Speed Triple doesn't seem to get this sort of deal.

I think you're wrong about PCP - if you go to a multi-franchise dealer, all they want is your business, regardless of marque.
Anyway, what I don't understand is the deposit contribution. If its, say, £500, would I get a £500 discount if I paid fully in cash?
& by the way, you can negotiate PCPs - I've done this on my last 4 cars....

...furthermore you just give it back for the agreed value, and move brand.

Aye, but at the end of the term you've either got to pay the balance to keep the bike, work out a finance deal on that figure or keep the deal rolling with a new bike, right? I think it's a great scheme if you're happy to pay periodically to run a new bike and you're happy with the options at the end of the contract.

Round here, most of the dealers specialise in one or two marques. Down south, you may have a bit more choice. The only Newcastle dealership with a really wide range is M and S (Suzuki, KTM, Ducati and Kawasaki IIRC). Honda and Triumph at Newcastle Motorcycles are also technically one operation under two roofs with a shared workshop.
