Dang, Ducati-Triumph NYC is right on!!! I owned a Triumph Bonneville for about three years, and after awhile with all the Cafe Racer TV addicts hopping on the old skool wagon, I began thinking that it was time to get a new bike--something faster, something meaner, something streetfighter-ish. I went back to Ducati-Triumph NYC with my eye on the Ducati Streetfighter and the Triumph Street Triple R. In the midst of deciding, I talked to and worked with three different salespeople Marcos, Eric, and June before locking in the deal. I never received the impression that they were trying to pressure me into buying a bike or anything--the place is so low-key and low-pressure--but felt they sincerely wanted me to be happy with the bike I got. I felt like they just wanted to talk bikes with me. And that's cool. I think I said it before, but the thing that I love so much about the new management is the attention that I received as a customer there. The guys were actually discouraging me from getting certain add-ons to the bike because they didn't think that it was worth the bang for the buck. I respect that.

We put together a sick, sick, sick Triumph Street Triple R, which has made it a complete struggle to keep it under 5000 RPM during the break in. I'm looking to log another 200 miles or so, bring the beast in to Cory and Alex to do the 500 mile service and rock it from there. Their service department is top-notch.

Again, I can't say enough good things about this store. It is an amazing transformation. Oh, and if you don't ride, you at least have to stop by to check out the store, it's has some noteworthy bikes including a vintage Ducati Supersport 900ss, which is just the hottest thing you've seen since...well, ever.
