TRIUMPH DAYTONA 900 - 1998 model
Triumph Daytona 900.I bought this bike with the intention of tearing the fairing off & making a Speed Triple out of it, but I had a change of heart as the bike is simply too nice & original to vandalise in that way, so I've done anything that needed doing, taken it for a new MOT (which it passed with no advisories) & now i'm selling it to try & buy a Speed Triple. . . or decent Trident, Trident Sprint. Its a 1998 model - one of the last ones. It's in virtually original condition - the only non standard part is the footrests. Presumably, the original ones wore out & these aftermarket ones were cheaper than original items. It even has the original grips still on there. The only other non original part is the Renthal hard anodised rear sprocket. Its done 29897 miles & this is backed up by a fist-full of MOT certificates. It's not been used regularly for years, covering less than 400 miles since its 2012 MOT. It had a £564 service in July 2011 at 28229 miles, including valve clearance check & adjustment & carb syncronisation. Its done less than 1600 miles since that service. I've just changed the oil & filter, but nothing else needs doing.There is quite a bit of old service history from over the years, but not much from recent years, as it simply hasn't been on the road. New Pirelli Diablo Stradas were fitted prior to the MOT & so they have done about 20 miles. It starts, rides & stops absolutely beautifully. The engine, clutch & gearbox are all without fault & that lovely motor ...
