1968 Triumph T100R Daytona. Original Survivor! 1968 Triumph T100R Tiger Daytona 500 Listed on behalf of Monte Shelton Motors LOCATED IN PORTLAND, OREGON. Triumph logged back-to-back wins at the Daytona 200 in 1966 and '67. No doubt inspired by these wins, in 1968 a gentleman purchased a new T100R Tiger Daytona. However, the story we were told is that after riding it less than 35 miles he realized the Daytona was just too much for him to handle. He parked it in his garage, where it remained for the next 47 years. Following his passing, the Daytona was removed from the garage and completely mechanically reconditioned by a Triumph specialist. They proclaimed it "like new" and it is now being offered here as a true time capsule. All components are original. Numbers-matching. Original frame, motor, tank, trim, seat, etc. Bike was stored dry and well with only some slight pitting noted to the tank badges and some chrome. Note that chain guard is missing and tires were changed at some time in the past. Please see photos. The 490cc OHV air-cooled parallel Twin V motor runs without fault. Original 4-speed transmission shifts well. Dual 1-1/8" Amal carburetors. These bikes are rated at 41 HP at 7200 RPM with a top speed of 105 mph. 45-60 miles per gallon. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderfully original '68 Daytona. A realistic reserve has been placed on this bike in keeping with its condition and mileage. Please bid accordingly.
