10 years is realy old now

I do agree as far as parts availability and that sort of thing though.

We have a dealer here and with the internet I think the parts situation won't be too big of a problem.

For Triumph that is a lifetime. Remember, they have only been back for about 15 years. And parts availability is huge for them. I have had to wait 2 months for a part for a 2008 Daytona 675. Imagine what it would be for a bike that is 10 years old. TMA (Triumph Motorcycles of Amer) gets about one order every 6 weeks from England. I am right now waiting for a part that wont be here until the end of August...roughly. That is the only thing I hate about them, they send their stuff on a slow boat...from China I think, even though they tell me it comes from England

The March, 2000 issue of Motorcyclist magazine says that Triumph had the Trophy 1200, an 1180cc four cylinder that was one of the nicest sport-touring bikes you could buy. They also had the Daytona 955i, a 955cc three cylinder that was their cutting-edge sportbike.

The 1200 Daytona was kinda old school in it's final days. Nice looking, good power, just a bit on the porky side (think GSXr-1100)

It wasn't a common bike so parts stateside may be a challenge.

parts are still available for it...but it is hit or miss at best as to what is in stock at Triumph stateside and could take 6-12 weeks at best to get it from England

It may not matter anyway, No call back from the guy. Price is $1500.
I thought the parts thing was a bit better for Triumph than it sounds like. 6-12 weeks sounds like Ducati a few years back.
