Featured 1991 Daytona 1000

Due to changes in life as we get older this bike is now for sale im going for classic cars now as my wife can no longer go on a bike.
No576 out the factory (1st 500 I believe went abroad) Standard apart from a 1200 loom & airbox (originals supplied). Chain & Sprockets are midway. ALL lights work on dash. Has a Volvo fan switch which cuts in way before she gets too hot! Tyres are legal fact one was new when i bought it but thats now maybe 6 yrs old? I`d change tyres for use although they will fly through an MOT. Not got round to that yet but she`s ready for MOT.
Pictures make her look better than she is(as always) but she`s tidy for a 31year old survivor!
She owes me 1800 but i want £1,500 for it no offers. If it does`nt sell i will mothball it but i`d like it to go to an enthusiast who will use it regularly. Thanks for looking & pm me for anymore info you need. Cheers Mick

 

Do you have a car in mind yet mate?

 

What's the mileage on that Daytona, Stiffler, and how long have you had it?

 

37K & i`ve had it since Jan 2015

 

Car im thinking Practicality /Noise /cheap parts/Noise Dont Laugh but a Scimitar SE5 manual overdrive. Prices are going up so if i dont do it soon i may miss the boat

 

Oh yeah Adie , you have the 750 dont you? Think it needs a big brother

 

I remember we used to have one when I was about 10, great cars

 

I do indeed have a 750 version, Stiffler. Have to say that I did harbour thoughts of it having a Big Brother/BFF/companion .... what have you.

However, head has ruled heart .... I'm a 'triples' person (just counted - I have 9) so I'm taking a pass on the 'Thou' I'm afraid.

The Suffolk Motorcycles Daytona 900, on the other hand ..........

 

Haha, you could have bought the 900 cheaper from me 3 years ago at £2,750! Still looks like its not been messed with though. Lovely to see it still cared for!

 

Stiffler
Well someone is going to get a real nice classic triple and it looks stunning. So are you dropping out of Triumphs or just a break. Either way do stay here in the family and keep us inmates company.
Joe.

 

Cheers Joe! I think i will stay on here as this mad house & its inmates make me chuckle. Maybe a break from riding one but think the sound of a project appeals to keep me sane. The real wrench will be selling the CBX!

 

The Scimitar with the Rover V8 engine is the one to go for, it was a great car, a chap round the corner from me still has his and uses it regularly, they have a bit of a cult following now, and prices are rising.

 

I had one of those Rover V8's in my car, but it was...a TR8...a Triumph!
