1996 Triumph Daytona

SMT371CA8TJ032830

Here is an opportunity to own one of the finest Grand Touring (GT) bikes ever built. I have owned bikes by Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati, Buell and BMW and the Daytona is by far one of my favorite motorcycles spanning 40 years of riding. The motor produces a prodigious amount of torque that is quite addictive. It is a stout motorcycle built for the long term and will cruise comfortably at high speeds all day. This bike was part of a motorcycle collection which I maintained during my riding career. It has always been properly stored in a climate controlled environment and properly maintained. It is the last bike remaining from my collection. Regretably my riding days have come to an end and I am offering this bike for sale. The bike has approximately $2500 in extras. Triumph Factory 6 puck brakes with steel braided lines replaced the stock units and offer incredable stopping power. A Triumph factory race shock was installed which enhanced the handling and comfort of this great bike. Heli bars replaced the stock clip-ons which greatly enhanced the riding position and allows one to enjoy the long range character of the bike. The bike was built at the Hinkley factory when Triumph was essentially building only several thousand bikes by hand each year. This Daytona is probably one of the best examples remaining from that era. It represents a great opportunity for the Triumph enthusiast.. The tires have about 50% tread remaining, and the bike comes with a new Yuasa maintenance free battery. Worked on carbs this summer and everything looked fine. One is leaking now, which could just be a sticking float. I have reduced the starting price from $3750 to $3600 to compensate for this. I am the original owner of this bike and used it sparingly because of the large collection of bikes I owned. Motorcycling has given me many wonderful memories, but it is time for someone else to enjoy this Daytona. This bike is in excellent condition and only needs a new rider. Check my feedback and bid with confidence.
