Daytona 650 Info Please

Hi,

This will be my first triumph (daytona 600/650) so want to get as much info as possible before I go to view the bike. Can you advise on what I should check and what questions I should ask when I go to view this bike?

Once I get one and if I get along with it, i do not intend to sell it a fair few years so want to get the correct one.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the reply. I had decided to go for the 650 instead of the 600 but cannot find one within a reasonable distance from me. No one seems to want to sell theirs either. They must be very good if no one wants to sell

 

Did have a look at the 675 but not within my budget unfortunately

 

Been offered a 2005 daytona 650 with 27.5k on the clock with full service history. Never owned a triumph before and was looking for advise on whether the mileage matters that much?

 

Thank you. Just needed confirmation for my own peace of mind

 

That's great, thank you for that info. I will ask him if there is one

 

Just been in touch. Only has s/h and last service was done at 23k, no paperwork to advise if valve clearance was checked. Cannot contact this particular Triumph dealer to confirm as they have shutdown. Contacted Triumph directly but no centralised records over 4 years old.

Would it matter that I am buying from an independant bike dealer?

Advise please. Should I walk away?

Thanks.

 

Have taken the plunge and purchased it. Will hunt down an ex Triumph mechanic to give it a once over for my own peace of mind.

One question though. Will the majority of body parts from a 600 fit a 650, namely looking for a single seat cowl.

 

Thanks for that. Just initially after a single seat cowl.
