They are fixing the bike. Its not like they told him to just eat it. He is being a bit over the top about it.
I can understand being a bit bummed about the issues. And it taking a while to get them fixed. But that's not really a valid reason for the company to buy a bike back.
If I came across this thread and was considering buying a Triumph. And I already knew about the recalls , this thread would have no impact on my choice to buy or not. In my opinion the OP is making themselves look worse than Triumph .
It wouldn't hurt for Triumph to offer their customers something for the time lost riding. But its a bit unrealistic to expect them to buy the bike back because there is a recall and a wait for parts.
As I sit here and wonder what the cost of a compete engine is from the factory in Thailand & I’m assuming Triumph has all these issues figured out on the newer 26-27 engines…
Why aren’t they simply sending new crate motors to the affected dealers to fix this “multitude” of problems and show some good faith to all involved?
Have you seen the resale on triumphs? They are horrible. That alone would have me never buying one. I’ve seen a few of them listed on market place locally for like $4500 for a long time.
Me Too! The point of this thread along with the previous thread regarding the tranmission issue's is to let Triumph know if I lose you lose. I am starting to think they knew of the problems when they reduced a 10999 bike to what i paid which much less. I don't appreciate that crap. I have raced moto since 1974, I'm 61 years old and still faster than most of the punks making these idiotic comments. I may lose this one but so will Triumph!!!!!

Most of us get the anger and frustration and feel badly for you. Thing is you’re coming across as a bit of a douche unintentionally or not.
Is this Sean from Triumph? You have my phone number you could have called me...At least I don't use a douche, you better go check yours. And thanks for keeping this thread right where I wanted it at the top of the page.
When ever at anytime does a manufacturer buy a vehicle back for a recall unless the vehicle has no possible fix for the discernable future, is deemed such a massive safety risk that it cannot be sold and is an extreme case. I don't think ever really? There is a fix out now, recalls are being done so why would they buy it back? It sucks, sorry to hear your situation. Best is to get it back repaired, then trade it in or sell it.
Buys a POS them mad that’s it’s a POS. Classic.
Now I see why Triumph and Sean aren’t helping you 🙄
What does your bike say on the steering head?
Made In ….?
I think that will explain a lot.
Really. So what class were you racing back in 1974 ?
55+ Murphy's Mx Riding a 22 GAS GAS 350

Unfortunately in this sport We mast have the best equipment what is already sorted out or We can end up in hospital really fast . Let someone else sort it out someone who is getting paid for that kind of stuff . And if somebody buys bike what is not sorted out , well good luck to him.
Is That enough lost boy or should I pull out the Cycle News Clippings of my Pro Days?
You said 1974 which was when I started,I was riding a suzuki TS 90 with steel fenders and they didnt have an 80 class then so I had to ride it in the beginner class which was all size bikes. Why the hell do you think everyone is attacking you ? You come off and a giant prick
Didn't you see the 1974 XR 75 pic? That's the class I rode in 1974....JEEZ your a smart one, do you even ride?

So after seeing all you posts I do believe you were stupid enough to buy a Triumph because it " Looked Cool " and you did it after you been around all this time then you are one dumb MFer. I think you got exactly what you deserved. No wonder Triumph told you to fuck off. 🤣
Dude why are you trying to fight everyone? Is this how you acted towards Triumph?
Have you tried not being a dickhead?
This thread delivered!
Well this took a turn. I started the thread feeling sorry for the owner, and now I'm rooting for Triumph..
Triumph's new slogan should be
"Making TM Moto looking like a reasonable purchase since 2024."
Seriously, this kind of grade school tantrum by the OP makes me want to get a Triumph.

No wonder Triumph told you to pound sand. Surprised the dealer just isn't leaving your bike on the sidewalk for you to pick up whenever, but you are probably the type to sue too.
The OP is 61 years old acting like a 6 year old. The world isn’t fair. Sell the bike after the recall repairs have been made, take the hit, and buy another bike.
It’s not that difficult of a solution to come to
