Triumph Daytona 955i....Again - SV650.org

Right. I have asked advice from people & am putting my Daytona back up for sale, but this time at a very very reasonable price. The only reason for the drop in price is down to mileage & because it is the less desireable Double sided swingarm version.

Right, so, spec is as follows:
2001 955i Daytona, later design (2002 onwards)
Had full Triumph service history up to 24000 miles, then I took over. I have logged everything that has been done to it since I took ownership of it in Sept 2010.
Now has just on 41000 miles & is used daily.
Does have a Dataool Alarm, but I have removed it as it was doing my head in on windy days & fuelling up.
Both Keys & fobs, owners manual & loads of receipts.
Had new brake pads all round, tyres front & rear, clutch plates, service, chain & sprocket kit all within the last couple of months.
I also bought a 2nd hand swingarm as the chain adjuster bolts in the original siezed up.
I have fitted a scottoiler, but never set it up as I still lube the chain manually (don't ask, I think it's a little OCD on my behalf)
Taxed until 30/09/12
10 months MOT.
There are few minor blemishes, but nothing untoward for a vehicle of it's age.
It will be 100% standard when/if sold, but, if it reaches the full price I will throw in the Blue Flame can & link pipe.
I have been using Fuelly.com to chart its progress & as you can see HERE it averages 47 mpg.
The reason for the sale is that I'm not getting any younger & I don't want to be riding a sportsbike any more, so am looking at a Triumph Legend, or Thunderbird. I know it was a TDM last time, but have changed my mind again after speaking to certain folk, plus I would like to stick with Triumph as this one, after the initial problems has been really good
Can't think of anything else at the moment, but if you want to know anything, just ask.
Yes, i will wash & polish it for the new owner

Forgot to mention that I also fitted a K & N Filter in March.

PRICE £1400 OVNO

These were taken last week at the Isle of Man

Wow that's a lot of bike for the money.

If I could buy another bike it would be one of those.

Good luck Mr Hughes i'm sure it'll sell this time at that price surely.

It's been a proper workhorse. If it doesn't sell, then it carries on it's life with me, I don't mind.
With the CBR being roadworthy now, the Daytona is in the shed having a well earned rest
