New Member Will be a daytona owner soon I hope

Hey guys. Thanks again for all the replies. Definitely going to leave that particular bike. There a few others things that have put me off.

Anywhere else I can look for 2012 daytona. I'm on The bay, mcn and autotrader. Hardly any private sales. Oh and £5500 to spend!.

I hope everyone had a good day yesterday and aren't to hung over!.

My 2010 (it's the same model) was up at a main dealer for £5700, it was a caspian blue, 5k miles FSH and had lots of genuine accessories like Arrow exhaust and Triumph levers etc.

Honestly for that budget u will be able to have your pick, but why a 2012? They made the footrest hangers frame coloured (which look much better) but that's about it.

Here is a pic of mine.

 

I should also say that I believe it sold for £5400 from a main dealer and was technically a 2011 model year. I would be looking at a late 2010 model with the newer style dash (much better layout) and other than that just the cleanest example u can find.

 

Well I have finally done it! Bike ordered from Jack Lilley! 2014 daytona with competition werkes pipe (I know a lot of people don't like it on here but hey it sounds awesome!) brand new for £7680 I have been negotiating with a few dealers so well chuffed. Now do I get delivered or pick it up?!

 

How many miles

 

0 miles unregistered. 2 year warranty. 1 yr breakdown cover. Datatag free 1st service oh and the old exhaust. Did I get a good deal?

 

Well done mate as long as ur happy that's all that matters

 

great deal. Brand new with warranty etc. for that price. Plus the 2013 is supposed to be sublime

 

That's a good deal mate enjoy it when you decide how to get it!

Thanks chaps I thought so too. Woken up this morning and it's wet!. No change there then. Will wait until later, if it's dry I'm picking her up!

 

I got mine delivered end of November purely because of the weather. Mine came from Swindon to Surrey

 

Oh yes all done! Being delivered next Saturday. Going to be a long week!!




Any how many revs max when running in? And for how long?

Alex

 

Thanks alot

I have a 280 that was registered to triumph and I'm guessing its a demo one. I have no idea how those 280 have been riden. The only scrubbing seem I the middle of the tyre side walls still smooth. Maybe they bombed it down in a straight line lol. It was serviced at Hinckley in October which I assume was the first service. I'm going to take it easy for another 200 miles. Would it be advisable to get it serviced agai at 500 miles

 

Good choice, nice looking bike.

What's the big white sticker on the side?

 

A sticker stating best sports bike again
It will be coming off!

 

I have never bothered running in new bikes, I take it easy and make sure I go through the box and never let the engine struggle for the first 200-250miles but that's about it. There is a lot of research on the pros and cons of running bit a lot of it is based on older engines.

You do seem to get more power from bikes that have been ridden hard from the off but is it worth it as it is also linked to fast wear? All personal opinion I guess!

I personally think the running in period is more for the rider to get used to a new bike and get rid of that horrible release agent new tyres seem to have.

Anyway, bike looks awesome, very jealous, hopefully see you on track later in the year?
