Daytona Possibly For Sale

**Slim** · 21st April 2006, 18:36

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.

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?

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 !!!!!

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** · 22nd April 2006, 09:50

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

**Smokin** · 22nd April 2006, 09:58

Yeah, The graphite gets my vote.

**Waylander** · 22nd April 2006, 12:21

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

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** · 22nd April 2006, 12:28

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** · 22nd April 2006, 12:28

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

**SPman** · 22nd April 2006, 12:45

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.
