Description
Triumph Daytona 900 with the fairing removed. Runs well and sounds great - the Hinckley 900 triple is a treat, fast and torquey with good brakes and suspension.
All the original panels, brackets, clip-ons and oil cooler are included. I've fitted a CRK 28mm bar conversion and LSL bars to give an upright riding position with new stainless hydraulic lines and a longer Trident throttle cable to suit. Removing the fairing also required a new headlamp (“E” marked LED fitted) and brackets and at the same time swapped the instruments for a set from a Trophy. The nice white faced Triumph clocks work perfectly but because they are designed to be behind the fairing, all the wiring is exposed where the Trophy type are enclosed. I've included a photo of the bike with its clothes on as it was when I bought it - a day in the shed would have it looking like that again.
The logbook indicates the bike was "registered/ used overseas" and considering all the stickers/ notices on it are in French, I would assume it was sold in France!
Overall the Daytona is in good order but with dents, scratches etc as you would expect on a thirty year old bike. The front Pirelli Angel GT is almost new, the rear is worn but I have a new matching tyre which I will include if not already fitted.
The seat is the factory optional lower version.
The alloy aftermarket silencer are DOT stamped and sound good without being loud. I changed the oil, filter and coolant in the spring, replaced the fuel tap with a genuine Triumph unit and a Sprint Manufacturing alloy knob (the plastic ones break). Only trouble it has given me was the ignition pick-up failing when it got hot - quickly diagnosed from the data in the factory manual and easily fixed with a new pick-up and gasket.
MOT expires Feb 2026
Great bike to ride and ready to go as is, put back to standard or just re-fit the clips for that Speed Triple/ cafe racer look! A lot of bike for reasonable money.
