Welcome H2oDunc to the GT-Rider and the Thairumph fold!
Though this thread has been surperceded by Silverhawk's more recent Triumph update, where TropicalJohno has already told us of your purchase and stealing your thunder.
I believe a number of us were initially shocked, as on cursory reading it seemed that TJ himself, was shelling out his shilling on a Rocket, when he was actually quoting from your email!
Yut is one of the very few good guys in the Thai Bike retail industry - and well may the Directors of Britbikes take heed looking after him. Still waters running a little troubled there at present. I made my order 5 months ago purely on the strength of his involvement.
Customer service is ALL and Yut is one of its few champions; understanding what we expect by wanting to deliver. He resigned from BMW for similar reasons.
Notwithstanding what will hopefully be a short brain fart by the Directors of BB, congratulations for being the first to buy a Rocket III.
It is an interesting choice For Thai roads - low road clearance etc. I gather that the sissy bar is almost mandatory if you don't want to leave your TG on the floor at the lights. A wonderful beast. UK BIKE Mag has a short review on it in the Feb 07 issue.
PM me if you want to have a chat as I have, for the moment, a Scrambler on order.
Just in case anybody else reads thru these posts on this thread and to tidy-up loose-ends: the KTM deal the Britbikes had hoped for is not happening. They had better first prove themselves with the Triumph mark first.
Incidentally RobertH found a KTM dealer recently in Malaysia.
The BMW F800GS has been further delayed, but motocross/motard variants of the F650 should be in country this month.
