Triumph Daytona 900 0r 1200?

[daveiw]

Ok, I'm riding a bandit 600 at the moment, think i've found my next bike! A local dealer has a daytona 900 and a 1200 for sale, I like both! The insurance is £40 more for the 1200. The price is £100 more for the 1200. The 900 has done 30,000 miles, the 12,000 has done 17,000 miles.

I don't know which to go for! The 1200 is a turquoise colour and the 900 is red! (If that makes any difference)

I'd get the 1200, only a few quid more.

Hi

Riden a 900 many years ago (and a 1000), as well as an early 1200 Trophy. Not sure which I would go for normally, but given the price / age of those 2 I would buy the 1200.

They are quick without trying. Loads of torque. On the Trophy I thought I was doing about 70 (used to an FZ750 at the time) until a quick glance at the speed showed 105 and rising.

All the best

Neither.......

....Speed triple, so much less practical, and soooooo much more fun.

(not that I'm selling one, honest.)

1200, even if it was just for the fact it's done nearly half the mileage.
