Triumph Daytona Track Bike

Here's my Daytona. I've had it for a couple of years and have done lots to it as well as enjoyed riding it on track. It was already a very basic track bike when I got it (track fairings and a grotty tank) and whilst many of the mods have been cosmetic (fairing repair and respray, strip and lacquer tank etc), I've also spent time on the hardware too. Sigma slipper clutch, quick action throttle, Maxton fork internals and bump adjuster, Nitron race shock steering damper, engine covers, rearsets, stripped the wiring loom to get rid of unused connectors etc etc. Pics from oldest to newest :

























I've just finished modifying a subframe to take a Honda 125 race seat and I think its pretty much there now.....I'm very proud! Next outing is at Portimao in April

 

Well we couldn't be much further apart as I'm about 5'8" and I find it a great fit. Having said that the max time on track is about 20 minutes at a time and you're always on the move around the bike.

Ive had an 848 on track too and a Speed Triple. It's obviously a completely different bike to the speed so in comparison to the 848 it feels much easier to steer and lighter. The 675 is all about corner speed and if you can get it set up right it's as quick as anything out there. Nothing better than closing up on the thou who's just overtaken you on the straight and going g past on the bits that matter

Overall its a brilliant fun bike that is simple to maintain and as long as you don't tune the buggery out of its reliable.

 

I am indeed @Nelson. I'm looking to arrive about 7:30 as I'll be driving up from Somerset that morning (yawn)

 

Hmm. We'll see about that

I'll be bringing a big gazebo just incase there's rain so maybe we can shack up next to each other. Will you be by the loos?

 

@bradders bike is fully loaded with great spec stuff @Lyndon. Certainly all you'd ever need on a track bike. There are a few bits off it I fancy

 

Hmmm
