The Daytona 1000 formed part of the first range of Triumph motorcycles that were produced at the Hinckley factory back in 1991 which marked a turning point in Triumph's history.

The 1000s are quite rare now, a modern classic if you like, and highly sought after. They were built to be bulletproof and not to leak any oil, and the only real problem they encountered was the sprag clutch (a Bosch item) - though if its been replaced then it shouldn't give you any trouble. Fork seals are known to blow easily if you don't protect the forks from stone chips with fork protectors.

The riding position could be a bit of a stretch for some, both in the legs and the arms. Higher bar risers were available to help and the suspension could be lowered. Fuel consumption is fairly good at around 40 to 45mpg.
