Posted: 10:58 - 25 May 2016 Post subject: 2003 Triumph Daytona - is it worth buying? |
|
|
As per title, I need some advice regarding buying a 2003 Daytona. I really like the looks of the bike and from what i read online, it seems like it's got a pretty good chassis. The things is, I don't know how reliable they are. Looks wise, I think it's the best looking sports bike for the year, but that means nothing if I have to keep tinkering with it to keep it going. So, if any of you have owned one, or know someone who did, or just know of notorious issues with this bike, please let me know. There's plenty of jap bikes which I could get, instead of the Daytona, but this is the one I like best, bang for buck. So boys, yay or nay?
Cheers,
Gab |

Yes Roger, the replacement also died. This time in Spain.
Here she is, spending the bank holiday in the Zaragoza showroom.

Aaaaaaaaand that one has now since died back in the UK.
Fairly sure the inner spacer got squished and now eats bearings for breakfast. Got it booked in to be repaired (for good) in a couple of weeks. ____________________ Current Ride: Daytona 600 |

Cool, thanks a lot for your input everyone! Nothing scary so far, so I'll keep an eye on these beautiful machines and hopefully, will secure one soon. |

Unfortunately, as always, life happened and my budget just got halved. So I will have to settle for a 2001 ZX6R for now, and hope that eventually, I will get my hands on a Daytona. Oh well..
BTW, I'm going to see the ZX6R tomorrow morning, anything in particular I should be watching for? It looks pretty good in the pics, but it is a 15yo bike afterall.. |
