Daytona Possibly For Sale

[Slim]

I'm doing a bit of research with a view to a private sale of my bike so I can get me one of them sexy 675's. :blip:

So, are they any people out there semi-seriously wanting to buy a Triumph Daytona 650 in red?

And if you were wanting to buy one, what would be a "serious" fair price you'd be willing to pay?

The bike in question now has 10,000km's on the clock & is about to get its 10,000km service at Bayride. It had the first service & in-between oil change completed on the dot that each was required. It has a carbon fibre Micron exhaust can fitted & the original pipe included in the sale, it also has Ventura headlight protectors & Ventura pack rack system installed.

You missed the reference to the 675 in the first line, didn't you? :zzzz:

[MD]

Slim, ANZA Pamerston Nth have a grey 675 in at the mo so ring them to see what sort of trade-in you can get. I've found some shops seem to so keen to sell a new bike that you can get a good trade-in. Well it's worked some of the time for me. Atleast it will give you a clue for a starting point.
Oh, and go for it. I've had a ride on a 675, you wont regret it.

I didn't miss the reference,I'm just dead jealous that you would consider parting with such beautiful irionmongery after such a short space of time...
P.S. My very first saturday job as a spotty youth aged 15 was delivering T120 & T140 Bonnevilles from the Factory in Coventry to my Local Triumph dealeship in Birminham (Vale Onslow's) I used to earn more on a Saturday morning by delivering two bikes than I could earn busting my guts on a building site(it was more fun too)
if you must have one get a yellow one !!!!!

[Cajun]

Slim - you really looking at selling that 650 aye.

Sure bayride give ya good deal.
and like solakid said - you need to get a gold one, not that red crap

[Sniper]

You need to get the Graphite one, had a sit and ogle at one yesterday. Triumph did good is what I say.

[Smokin]

Yeah, The graphite gets my vote.

[Waylander]

Bayride has a Graphite one available parks outside thier shop right now....

[Highlander]

Slims Red 650 is a very sexy beast, who ever buys it will have a stand out bike.

The 675 must be unreal for her to be thinking of changeing with only 10000 Km on the clock.

* Note to self: go check out the 675 next day off

[Waylander]

Better be quik. Slim might not let that one sit there very long lol.

Word of warning. You'll lean farther forwardon the 675 than the 650. Seat feels a bit higher and bars a bit lower.

[Sniper]

I thought ALL 675's were pre sold before they hit our shores

[SPman]

Motorcycle online picked the 675, top bike in their recent "600" test! They reckon its brilliant, in a field of brilliant 600's - Triumph have hit the spot. The 636 and new R6 tied for 2nd!

Yeah, I know that, having sat on one of these beasts at Phillip Island last year. They are really skinny too, in a 916 sort of slimness.

Sniper - I thought they were all pre-sold too. Must have a serious chat with Lindsay on Saturday while the 650 gets its service.

Cajun - yep, if I can get a good offer (which none of you guys have ventured a price for yet, btw) I'd like to sell & get the 675. I was hoping for the region of $14,500 since I can't afford more than a couple of grand changeover price.

But it's still gotta be red though ... sorry guys. :bleh:

[Stevo]

But it's still gotta be red though ... sorry guys. :bleh:
That's the story! The best bikes are red, :rofl: Duke, Honda......

[Waylander]

What time on saturday? Maybe you could talk him into letting you ride out to the kaimais on the 675 while I am doing the same on the R6.

I should be there around 11:30 to noon.

[Devil]

The rumour was that the first shipment of 12 or so was pre-sold, but that wasn't quite true. There was a graphite one sitting in holeshot for quite a few days (was told that every poofter wanted yellow??). The second shipment has arrived and there's definately a few about for sale!

I'll be there by 9am. Might still be there when you arrive. :)

:gob: Whats that Waylander? Considering buying a real bike?? :Pokey:

Waylander has seen the light............. nearly. If he saw the correct light he'd be getting a Honda. :rofl:

Just kidding mate. When I come for my North island tour, I'll get ya a beer. I still owe ya one. Maybe you'll have a sportsbike by then:killingme

[Juan]

Yo Slim... thought you would give in to it's charms!!!!

http://www.superbike.co.uk/ have a 600 test in this months mag, website not up to date yet!! and it gets the vote over all the 600's:first:

Hope all is well.. and good luck...:yes:

Juan

[Waylander]

Sorry to sorta hijack your thread Slim. But yes getting the sportsbike. Tookit for my blat today and damn that thing was easy to ride. Only hard part was keeping it below 130KPH.

Anyway, good to see you today Slimshame you couldn't ride with me.

Nice to know you returned safely from your test ride! :) Maybe you should look at investing in a radar detector with your new purchase?! ;)

Is this cause your other bike was attracted to ditches??:nya:

oh and the 675 is a horney beast but I still love the hard lines of the 600/650

[Scouse]

Slim buy a Speed Triple

[deathstar]

Yeah well the 675's are limited as hell with none spare but just not sold yet ... dealers are buying them all and i don't even get to see them in the crate

[Waylander]

Nice to know you returned safely from your test ride! :) Maybe you should look at investing in a radar detector with your new purchase?! ;)
Was allready planed. Along with an alarm system and moving to a place that has a garage to lock it up in.

And Deathstar there is still 2 of them sitting on the showroom floor here. Both in gunmetal.

[Kornholio]

Seen one in Nelson in Thunderbike when I was down there a couple of weeks ago... very nice indeed
So you finally looking at getting it huh Slim, remember talking to you about a year ago at Whanga and you said you were looking at them then... Your 650 is a hot bit of machinery tho

[Karma]

I was hoping for the region of $14,500

I'd take it off your hands, but that's a little more than I can afford... knock off a zero and you've got a deal :blip:

[Highlander]

Been and done mate. Was last weekend. Didn't touch the pegs but did have to remind myself not to stick my knee out.

[ZeroIndex]

You'll have to get some Quasi leathers with knee sliders..

[Waylander]

Got a set of spool leathers lined up already. Getting them in deal with the bike.

[Edbear]

Ha. Knock off a zero and she'd have a que.




Knock off a zero and she'd have a riot!:laugh:

[myvice]

Been out on one yet?
AMPS have/had a red one in last week but was told they have had two people keen on it befor it came out of the box.
The grey is nice but I would have matching leathers and I don’t swing that way...
Looks a lot like a 748 in red, about the same size too.
Got to have a yellow one!
Sexist bike that has ever came out of England!
Get in now befor they go up in price again!
