Triumph Daytona 1200 at the Thunderdome! | Daytona Diaries w/ Mick Hone | INFO MOTO 

Grouse mate. That one is definitely on the to-do Snaggy list.

You have a strong point there. The first gen with the 340KMH speedo is already firmly in the collectors' sights.

1994 was the first year in the US, North America didn't get the 1993 model year (which looks the same but has different rims) or the earlier Daytona 750 and 1000. I have a 95 900 that was originally purchased in the US, and a 94 1200 from Canada. The Super III is the best Daytona around town, lightest of them all but power bump over the regular 900 is nice. My favourite is the 1200 SE though, the black and gold is such a good colour out of the 6 combos and I ride mainly highway miles which you're right, the 1200 eats up.

@@KlockworXMusic 94 was first year in Canada. The first model year in US is 95, deliveries in Nov 94. (How do I know? Tried to order one from Canada and couldn't bring it into the US. Ordered first delivery in US to Brockton Motorcycle in MA, organized thru Triumph USA in Peachtree City, GA, and it was delivered to my work that December of 94: a black '95 model. Still have it and after 25k miles, still looks like a new bike.

Word of warning: if you buy a '95,make sure it had the cases split and the sprag clutch replaced, or you, like me, might lose your battery on a busy street in Tijuana.

@@I-Libertine I have 12 of these bikes from 94-98 and put as many as 70k miles on some without ever needing a sprag, it can be avoided by always using a fresh battery, and if the bike isn't starting or hard starting to stop cranking and diagnose rather than keep trying. They do make replacement sprags that are supposed to be better than the originals but I know many people that have had the 'better' replacements fail as well.
