Triumph Mumbai Dealer Demo Bikes On Sale With Hefty Discounts

Triumph Motorcycle India's Mumbai dealer is offering its demo bike line-up to potential customers at heavy discounts. The bikes range from the Triumph Bonneville T100, Street Twin, Street Triple, Tiger XCx, and more. The catch though is the manufacturing year for these bikes that were produced in 2017 or 2018, and have a few kilometres on the odometer. The Mumbai dealer is the latest of the Triumph outlets to retail its demo bikes. The Delhi and Jaipur showrooms announced similar discounts on their demo motorcycles few weeks ago. In addition, the Pune dealership has a few demo motorcycles on sale including the Speedmaster, Bonneville T120 and the Street Twin from MY2018.

The Mumbai dealership is selling the 2018 Triumph Tiger XCX for Rs. 12.5 lakh, while the Tiger XRx is priced at Rs. 12 lakh. Both the bikes have clocked 11,500 km and 7500 km respectively on the odometer.  The 2018 Bonneville T120 has 2266 km on the odometer and is being sold at an on-road price of Rs. 9.5 lakhs. The Triumph Bonneville Speed Master with 2800 km has been priced at Rs. 10.50 lakh, while the 2018 Street Twin with 1401 km can be yours for Rs. 8.4 lakh. The 2017 Triumph Bonneville T100 is being sold at price of Rs. 7.5 lakh.

There's a completely new 2018 Triumph Street Scrambler as well with 0 km on the odometer available for Rs. 10.5 lakh. Lastly, the 2018 Street Triple RS is available for Rs. 11.25 lakh, while the Street Triple S with 2540 km can be yours for Rs. 8.5 lakh (all prices, on-road Mumbai). There are limited units of these motorcycles on sale with one or two examples of each at best. The discounts range anything between Rs. 1.5 to Rs. 4 lakh depending on the model, and makes for a good bargain.

The pricing, dealerships say, has been depreciated taking into account the usage and the present condition. The demo bikes though are unregistered and customers will be the first owners of the motorcycles on paper. The motorcycles also get the two-year standard Triumph warranty as standard that covers unlimited kilometres, which can be extended to an additional two years. The warranty is applicable at all of the brand's global dealerships and is transferrable as well.

That said, the condition of the bikes including cosmetic and mechanical damage and the subsequent repairs, if need be, still remain a concern. Demo bikes are usually ridden by prospective customers and can be subjected to use and abuse by multiple riders. Then, there are also concerns of the market value of these bikes that is likely to affect customers that paid full price for their respective motorcycles. A number of Triumph customers that carandbike spoke to remained unaffected though. The customers said that since the demo bikes have likely seen more wear and tear then all-new motorcycles, the pricing in the used market will remain different.

With the overall market slowdown in the auto sector, the sale of demo bikes could be to liquidate assets that will help dealers stay afloat. The auto industry is collectively witnessing a slowdown in sales across all segments, and dealers have been affected by the slow moving inventory. The second half of the year though is expected to see a growth in volumes across all segments.
