Descrição
1973 Triumph T100R Daytona Registration Number: SBF 189L Frame Number: DH31196 - Matching numbers example The T100T variant of the Tiger was named in honour of and benefited from the company's success in the 500cc class at Daytona in 1966. It represented the ultimate development of the unit construction 500cc Triumph, first seen in 1959 with the 5TA. The 5TA was joined by the more sporting T100A, with better performance due to higher compression pistons and a revised camshaft profile. The sporting Tiger 100 would be subject to a number of changes and revisions during the following years, usually accompanied by an increase in performance that culminated in the introduction of the Daytona in 1967. The model code was changed to T100R for the 1971 season. When MCN tested one they managed 111 mph and 64 miles to the gallon! Revisions to the standard T100 engine which enabled these figures to be achieved included the use of a 9:1 compression ratio, splayed inlets for the twin carburettors and Bonneville profile camshafts. This T100R Daytona is a 1973 Export model, repatriated from Florida in 1994, and since then UK Registered. This Daytona has been fitted with Amal Premium carburetors (ethanol resistant) and new clutch friction plates, also a TLS front brake. The tyres are in good order, the only fault recorded is fault indicators. A matching numbers bike, this clean and tidy example is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
