Hi Gary,
Sorry to hear that you feel like this

In reality there are very few probems with the Trophy -
you have to remember that when someone has a problem,
they turn to Members Forums to find answers and seek help,
whereas those owners with NO problems may not ever register on a Forum,
so we don't get to hear about the MAJORITY of Owners that are more than happy with their Trophy.
That's also true with other Forums, or even Holiday Review sites !
This Forum currently has 2790 Members worldwide,
and a proportion of those are not even Owners.
I don't know how many Trophies have been sold in total,
but you can bet that it is a lot more than the number of Members in here !
Whilst it is fairly common knowledge that Trophy production has stopped,
we have seen no official announcement of this from Triumph,
who still advertise it for sale on their web site.
Triumph HAVE said - in writing - that they will continue to support ANY discontinued model
with Parts and Service for at least 12 years ( in my case that will see my riding days out ! ).
So that's another 12 years from when Triumph announce it's discontinuance !
Compared with stories we have heard here about experiences with other motorcycle manufacturers,
in terms of the usual levels of support that can be expected when problems arise,
Triumph seem to be better than most, with numerous examples of them fixing some problems
at no cost to Owners, even after warranties have expired.
Of course the Trophy is NOT perfect - no motorcycle is in my opinion,
but I wouldn't let things like the Sat Nav bracket put you off - how could Triumph
( or any other manufacturer ) know that a particular Sat Nav model is going to be discontinued in the future ?
The Triumph mount is no more than a flat plate with four holes in it, at a fairly "standard" spacing,
designed to fit into a specific location below the screen, but there are a number of alternatives
such as RAM mounts, or adapter plates to fit between the Triumph bracket and other devices.
I wish you all the very best for a speedy recovery, and firmly believe that once you get to enjoy
the experience of riding your new Trophy, you will REALLY appreciate what a fine machine it is,
and will thoroughly enjoy riding every mile on it !
Cheers
