Enjoyed the film, and especially the passion you have for the bike. I was one of the first 50 dealers chosen by Triumph when they returned to the USA, and my dealership was Four Flags Motorsports in Hot Springs, Arkansas. All of the dealers were taken to England for a factory tour (among other things) which was a really excellent adventure for me, and I specifically remember seeing different camshafts displayed on a board in the assembly area, and as I recall, the Super III cams were the "red" variant. I also had the distinction of selling the last Super III ever made. I had decided to put one in my showroom, and it occurred to me that if I asked nicely, I might be able to request the last one produced. It all worked out well, and I was given a letter from Michael Lock, the then-CEO of Triumph USA, documenting that this was indeed the last one produced. Unfortunately, I have no idea of its whereabouts now. Just thought I'd share that little tidbit! Matt Lewis, Hot Springs, Arkansas USA

[@ChasingTenths]

Matt, what a wonderful comment, thank you so much for sharing this priceless information. Wonderful to read and imagine that I am glad you enjoyed the film. Triumph had a huge impact in America and movies featuring triumph really made it worthwhile. Thank you for commenting and sharing the info I absolutely loved it

[@mmotorcycles9497]

I’m going to love this series. I stopped watching on my phone and switched to the tv. I’m a huge fan of 90’s sportbikes. I own them and do paint work for people restoring them. I really don’t know much about triumph so enjoyed the history.

[@ChasingTenths]

that's absolutely lovely to know , I will be doing some 4 and 2 stroke bikes. I think the next video will be on the rare 2 stroke 250 cc Aprilia

[@danielh3157]

Very well done. Ride Hinckley Triumphs since 1994 and the SIII since 2007. Absolutely agree with you, fantastic piece of art.

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much Daniel for the kind comment I absolutely love them

[@cloudymcleod]

Apart from the over use of "Absolutely", this is a brilliant film mate. "absolutely" keep up the good work.

[@ChasingTenths]

Hahaha . My goodness , that is so true , the two words I use a lot are “ absolutely and brilliant “... English is my second language but when I run out of words then saying a long word fills the tiny gaps lol Thanks for watching and for the witty comment

[@CheapskateMotorsports]

You gotta love when companies make an open class sportsbike without having to worry about making it a race bike with some lights. My absolute favourite type of motorcycle.

[@ChasingTenths]

That’s very well said mate Spot on that

Cracking video Abhi. This sort of thing is really your sweet spot. So good.

[@catrionawalker8592]

Hi thanks for the inspiration. was looking for an interesting classic and these were off my radar. Just bought one today.

[@ChasingTenths]

Many congratulations Catriona, I am super delighted for you , enjoy the ride and have fun on it. Thanks for the lovely comment

[@motojoesaddiction2777]

I just bought my 2nd Triumph Daytona yesterday...and it is a '95 Daytona Super III. Had purchased a "95 Daytona 1200 some 2-3 years ago...in the same Racing Yellow. The 1200 is just a fantastic bike. Having the Super III shipped to my locale and can't waiting to take it out! I've owned over 60 Big Bore Sport & Sport-Touring bikes...and the Daytona 1200 is one of my all-time favorites! I'm expecting the Super III will be of the same sort! BTW...I enjoyed the short film...and keep them coming!

[@motojoesaddiction2777]

Oh...BTW...My 1st bike back in 1969 was a Triumph 650 T120TT/Special. An ex-flat track racing bike that I had commissioned to take on the streets here in the USA. I was 19 at the time and it was certainly a bike that had more than enough power to satisfy a "rookie"! Also have a 2014 Thruxton 900 in the stable.

[@ChasingTenths]

Hi Joe, thank you so much for such lovely and interesting background, honestly , I haven't ridden the 1200 but I really really want to , I think it would actually be a great inter country European touring machine , or you might say inter state. I am lucky to have the Super 3 and I think I will keep it as long as I possibly can. thanks for appreciating the film

[@ChasingTenths]

hi again Joe, that's epic, the 650 t120 is very very popular in Uk , We do to the Triumph Hinckley Factory in Leicestershire quite often for bike meets and there are many there and also the epic Thruxton 900 is fast becoming an appreciating modern classic.

[@HippoDrones]

It is quite an iconic and stunning motorcycle. Really interesting to hear about it's history. Brill video Abhi :-)

Thank you mate. I am glad you like it. Need to make some more videos like this about rare bikes

Great video had a Super III back in the day now ride a 95 Black Speed Triple and 95 Trophy 1200 both amazing bikes that can still deliver incredible performance today

[@ChasingTenths]

Wow, that’s nice to hear Ervin, I really want to ride the 1200 4 cylinder I haven’t tried that yet, really want to see the different , I heard the 1200 SE Daytona is brilliant with same 6 pot brakes. Thanks for watching Really appreciate the comment from you

[@martinschwengeler2901]

Hi, great video of the Super III, which I found by chance! I also own a Super III from ´94 since 2014 before I owned once a barracuda blue 1200 Daytona years ago. I love these bikes. Unfortunately my Super III has a technical problem with a starting gear into the motor. But I hope to ride my bike this year again. I am looking forward for some other videos of you and your Super III. Thanks a lot for all the informations about this bike and kind regards from Switzerland!

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much Martin, so sorry for the late reply , some comments slip through the net, I am glad you have the same bike and I really hope you get the starting issue resolved. It's so good when I read comments from the owners because I really want people to know what a special project this super 3 was. I honestly need to do more videos on the Super 3 , I keep posting race track stuff but I will definitely do it, thank you for your lovely comment Martin. enjoy riding the Super 3 in those beautiful Swiss Alps roads

Awesome Video, discovered this by accident as i have a 95 Super 3. Subscribed! Greetings from Melbourne Australia

[@ChasingTenths]

Greetings Andrew, a few people from down under have approached me after this video It’s absolutely wonderful to come across like minded triumph Daytona enthusiasts especially super 3 owners. Thank you for the support and watching Good to hear from you Finally we are lucky to have some lovely Aussie summery weather this bank holiday weekend So I did have a nice ride on the super 3. Take care mate :)

[@andrewprice1189]

@@ChasingTenths Thanks, im originally from Aberdeen in Scotland, been here 10 years. I have heard from a few sources only 7 super 3s imported here. Bought mine 18 months ago from a deceased estate hadn't been started in around 10 years but been back on the road 6 months now. Nov 1995 compliance plate. 46,000km & rock solid, only mods are raised clip ons above the top yoke. Also a 2020 Ducati Streeetfighter V4s & a 2016 speed triple but the Daytona has a charm & uniqueness modern stuff hasn't. One interesting fact you may not know, after recommissioning & getting it on a dyno i found out from a old wise man that the actual rev limit/peak power is 10,500, the standard 900s have the redline/peak power starting at 9500 just that triumph didnt want to make a different rev counter with the red line at 10,500! Still putting out a healthy 103hp at rear wheel at a 10,350 rpm so you can safely rev them past the indicated 9500!

[@ChasingTenths]

@@andrewprice1189 wow Thanks Andrew for the intriguing info , yes, I heard about the 1000 extra revs but it’s funny to hear about the part where they didn’t want to make extra rev counter lol That’s typical of back in the day modular thinking

[@haydnfstr]

Love seeing footage from back in the day! So different to the factory today! Great video 👌

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much . I loved that footage too I actually had moist eyes, lovely , simple times those were

[@dugdaleparana661]

I own a 1996 black with gold flake 900 Sprint, I've slightly advanced the ignition by 4 degrees, makes the bike a lot more fun.

[@ChasingTenths]

That’s interesting to know , I’ll look into that for sure Thanks for letting me know

[@sylvandespres7654]

super beautiful and detailed topography of the history of this mark. When it is question of motor bikes made in England I am more marked by norton having possessed a 850 commando in the 70', and having had an eye on the more recent V4 SG7...BUT NOW, you made me interested in this triumph 900. I remember a long time ago, I used to see these guys with very long hair with these triumph choppers with +12 inch forks, the shifter on the right and the rear brake on the left lol. I found it fascinating, me riding my first bike, a honda cb 900F all Japanese. I was looking at triumphs, like the bonneville (or trident ? ) of the time and other models of the brand too, but the dealer network here was so thin that it was discouraging, while norton was a little more established (marginally more). Anyway...excellent review of the brand, especially the cosdin duckworth part; to say that their V8 are still at the heart of some race cars, and that gordon murray entrusted them with the development of the MAGNIFICENT V12 running at 12,000RPM that goes in his T50...that say all. do i see a 765 on the horizon for you soon ??? haha!

[@ChasingTenths]

[@carlmayer691]

Perusing and came upon this hey it's the Aprilia guy Chasing Tenths doing a Triumph video and WELL DONE !!!! I own a 2005 Daytona. love it.. 955 ccs TOR exhaust, mapped by Clive Wood.. great sport bike, cheap to insure, buy parts for ... vs my 999 which was a bit 'cranky' .. Won the bid off Ebay in 2013 for $6,500 USD w/ 6800 miles 'minty' .. my intention was to 'flip' it and make a quick $1000-1200 bucks .. but after the 1st ride I needed a 2nd .. and I kept it... Oh my friends at Carpenter Racing, NJ, USA Bob, Eddie, and Art DiLarso built the twin 1450cc 558 hp Rocket III turbo engines for the Castrol streamliner Jason DeSalvo and Guy Martin ran at Bonneville. Don't hear much from Alcon on the motorcycle caliper end ... interesting take on an axial caliper for that era.. Triumph/Cosworth helped IIRC w/ the gen1 Daytona T595(955) and then developed the new uprated cams .. and finally the 147 hp 2002 MY Daytona 955.. and man what a howl !

[@ChasingTenths]

Hi Carl , first of all sincere apologies for this late reply , some comments slip through the net even though I check weekly for missed comments. What a brilliant comment , you certainly have a fantastic collection and a great knowledge of bikes. And yes it is the Aprilia guy doing the Triumph video haha , I need to do a few more of these for sure. Thanks for the detailed comment , I must have read it 3 times. I will pop over to Clive Wood myself one day for some tinkering on the Daytona.

[@tsaris8979]

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much

[@ballerblocks]

As regards quality of these bikes, I bought one for a cafe racer conversion, and I have to say, I have everything I will ever need in a motorcycle, power, torque,and just the feel of a analogue motorcycle, the glorious engine note changes at different revs and it's a joy to ride. But what I love most about it, strangely is the weight of the bike, heavy motorcycles are really great for the road. I finally understand why Harley and other old school motorcycle riders scoff at the light weight motorcycle brigade. The other thing is these engines and their horsepower claims are weird, my 92 trophy puts a lot more power than the factory says, and I have done very little engine work to it.

[@ChasingTenths]

Thanks Peter for a lovely constructive comment which adds more lovely points towards the bike I totally agree with you and all the points are quite valid

Those should go 175 maybe 200 yankee miles on a tank? Interesting video and no wonder the motors are great, ok those dual roundees look great on that and really on any bike of that era.

[@ChasingTenths]

@@paulscountry456 absolutely Paul, if you ride it sprightly and give it some then it’s 160 to 170 miles on a tank but if you really take it nice and smooth then it’s 200 to 220 per tank , they have such a presence on the road , an all in all stunning bike all around

[@Leon-fz5gm]

Nice one, Can you tell me what you mean @15:40 "the discs are made out of one billet Aluminium" which discs?

Hi Leon, according to the Triumph Hinckley book by David Clarke, the brake discs were made from very strong billet aluminium single piece and then it was made into brake discs

I have a Super III which has been wrapped up and unused for about 9 years. I'm currently building a garage and when it's finished the Super III will take pride of place whilst I restore it. When I bought it from a dealer years ago I was told it was quite likely the latest registered one in the country as it had been shipped to Canada for sale but then shipped back again because the Canadians decided it was too expensive. It's T registered so I'd be interested to hear if anybody else has one the same or even later. I'm quite surprised by only 150 being built. I have a book somewhere that says that 805 rolled off the production line.

[@ChasingTenths]

Wow you have a rare masterpiece there. Keep it pristine mate 805 were the standard Daytona models But super 3 numbers aren’t confirmed anywhere It’s supposed to be around 300 But not sure Will find out more
