I rode this bike for 30 years- what a light bike by modern standards, and such a joy to ride.

Absolutely loved riding this one 🙂

The '69 to '73 Daytona's were the epitome of Turner's vertical twins! The twin leading shoe front brake was a huge improvement. '67's hemispheric heads were fed with twin carbs, the valves were activated by hotter "Q" cams to spin a crank on roller bearings. Power was delivered through a close ratio transmission. You could put around town with ease, but when the road opened up the bike accelerated with authority from 4,500 to 7,500 rpm. The 500 revved much quicker then the less entertaining 650. The 500 was the bike Triumph raced on both the dirt flat tracks and road racing events. The light bike was a great dancing partner in the canyons! I still have fond memories of my '72 Daytona

100% Beautiful colors and design.

I think so too!

Great video, I know nothing about triumph bikes. It was good to listen and learn about the bike. I really like the way you deliver your content. What camara and mic setup are you using? It really looks good and sounds good too.

I always wanted one of these back in the day. They are a baby Bonneville & quite fast with great handling. They used to call them the thinking man's motorcycle. The Bonny was rated at about 52 HP.

Hoping to get a ride on one when the weather warms up. Wahoo!

[@mtscott1]

No rearview mirrors. Rearview mirrors were useless anyway as you couldn't see anything for all the vibration . Beautiful Triumph not a bad price either.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it! Wahoo!

[@markkulyas2418]

Now there's a beautiful rolled fuel tank.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@waiheke109]

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!
