Default Can I join the Trumpet club?

A few unfortunate unexpected costs have destroyed my new bike fund, so spending £6k on a bike was no longer sensible, so I decided to have a shop around to see what I could get for 3 grand (£1500, plus the £1500 I got for my SV)

Pick it up on Saturday

56 plate, 3600 miles.

Triumph Daytona 955i, 147 bhp, 100nm torque.

Just serviced, MOT'd and Taxed

Gorgeous and very impressive power delivery from the 955cc triple. Brakes are great. Suspension is high quality and fully adjustable. Plenty of room and riding position feels very natural and comfortable, didn't feel much different to the SV.

These are library pictures, but the bike is bog standard and such low mileage it looks as good as new anyway unless you get your microscope out, so this is basically what it looks like

It's the only colour for a Daytona.

Same as a Ducati has to be red.

Couldn't agree more, normally I hate yellow, but they make yellow nice
