Showing only 17, 651 miles on the odometer with long-term single ownership spanning more than 34 years
Very clean, well-presented example from the short-lived early Hinckley production period
Recent expenditure at a cost of approximately £500 to ensure correct running order
Introduced in 1991, the Triumph Daytona 1000 Sport formed part of the first generation of motorcycles produced following Triumph’s revival under John Bloor. Built during a relatively short production period at the beginning of the Hinckley era, the model represented Triumph’s early effort to re-establish itself in the litre-class sports motorcycle market and is now regarded as comparatively rare.
This very clean example has covered just 18, 000 miles from new and has remained in the same ownership for an impressive 34 years and 8 months by March 2026, clearly indicating careful long-term custodianship. The motorcycle presents well throughout, with tidy bodywork, good paint finish and a correct, largely original overall appearance that reflects considerate ownership.
The 998cc four-cylinder engine and six-speed transmission are well known for their durability, and this machine has recently benefited from approximately £500 of recommissioning work to bring it back into running order. This recent expenditure provides reassurance that the motorcycle has been attended to mechanically following a period of light use.
Offering strong period performance combined with a more relaxed, long-legged character than many contemporary superbikes, the Daytona 1000 Sport remains an engaging and distinctive modern classic. A low-mileage, long-term ownership example of an increasingly appreciated early Hinckley Triumph, suitable for further careful use or inclusion within a private collection.
