My first triumph was a 1968 500 twin, gosh that was way back in 1977, been many triumphs in between and still have 2 in my garage today, a 68 650 bonneville and a 70 tr6 tiger 650, its been a long love affair, I was 21 when I got my first and I'll be 68 next month, 😊
Short but excellent, informative video.
A work of art!
i own a 63 3ta & a 67 T100T Daytona love them
Love to see how he pets the Daytona saddle in the beggining…
I went to that museum!
I have a '72 Daytona
Owned about 30 years
blue and white (been repainted)
put rings in it when I bought it and fixed the electronics.
Never a doubt that it will start
Have a 67 T100. I have probably taken it to 70% of its riding performance - speed and cornering. They are high performance bikes and a joy to ride.
I owned a 1967 Daytona, It was a wonderful ride and a VERY agile machine. In my view, the big bikes took the joy out of the ride making it more like cruising on a large road ship. Motorcycling gone bad.
Barber Motorsports Museum? Looks like it to me. The Valhalla of motorcycle museums.
The Daytona was Triumph's unsung hero. Great bike. Handled beautifully, had plenty oomph, insanely chuckable, and didn't really vibrate - which is something for a Trumpet. I mean a T140v, you couldn't keep your feet on the pegs at 70 and long runs were exhausting. The Daytona gave a little away in performance but you got it back in simple pleasantness. You could drive it all day and not need chiropracty at the end. Or, you could just nip down the pub, er, cafe and it wouldn't be outclassed by the bigger Trumpets, BSAs and Nortons. In fact it was a head turner. Very sweet motorcycle, glad to see it being promoted. Sadly, in UK at least a lot of these were turned into 'choppers' which were inevitably scrapped, the fate of all such abominations. Tragic.
Triumph made an 'enduro' version called the Adventurer, which was just silly fun to drive. IIRC it had lower compression, a milder cam and lower gear ratios. That was the bike Ted Simon took on his round the world trip, described in his book 'Jupiter's Travels'. It made it!
Wow!!,............WELL DONE!!
Nice . . Thanks
I don't know who restored that bike, but they got the paint wrong. Both colour and design. (I bought one new in 1973.)
Paint depends upon which state it went to.
Baby Bonneville!
was it also special because it had alloy barrels as well
Never lost a race to a Gold Star on my '68 "Gary Nixon" Daytona...
it's a correct 1972 Daytona 500.....not a 1973..!
I thought they had transition to left foot shift by 1973.
Lovely bike but you can’t compare it to a 500cc Gold star for top speed, you can almost pull a ton in third with the RR2 box on a clubmans.
