1995 Triumph Daytona 885, 885cc. Registration number M903 ACC. Frame number SMTTC357DMS018531. Engine number 018739.

The 900 Daytona was born out of the Daytona 750 with more aggressive styling and better performance, and an engine that was bulletproof. This was one of several models that shared the same basic engine components in order to keep costs at a minimum and quality at a maximum. It never really challenged the top sports bikes of the day, and its weight and height meant that it could be tricky to handle when riding slowly, but the higher centre of gravity meant you could use its weight to corner.

What was then a sports bike is now a great little sports tourer. Solid, dependable with the power where it matters when it matters and there are still few bikes that can embarrass it away from the lights or down the tighter lanes. Yes it will flop into bends and keeping a line on the curves may be a little more challenging than on more 'neutral' machines but this is a bike for those who want to ride not glide, it rewards a partner rather than a passenger.

ACC was bought by Ian Fisher of Winsford from Woods Motor Cycles of Abergele and has 11 stamps in the service book up to 31,903 miles in 2018. In 2012 it moved to Mark Hutchinson of Selby when the mileage was 30,898 and the service receipts from that date detail comprehensive attention to detail. The last one in 2020 the mileage had only risen to 31,972. The MOT history backs this limited use up, the last one was in September 2021 at 32,005 miles, today the odometer shows 32,089 miles.

Ridden to the saleroom, this Daytona presents very well and is only being sold due to lack of use by our vendor who bought it in March 2022 and he is concerned for his license as it is too easy to exceed the speed limit!

Sold with the V5C, MOT history, service book, manual, service receipts, original tool kit and Datatag that can registered in the new owners name
