I had a Daytona 900. It was heavy with the big exhausts but the frame , forks , engine , gearbox was tough and the finish including paint was still good after 10 years. It was very torque, economical on petrol under 5000 revs in top when I'd get nearly 50 mpg. I loved it and it's one of the best rides I've ever had. The only hastle is no centre stand and all the plastic fairings to take off to get to the engine. In 26000 miles mine had the original sprag clutch. I like the low handlebars and the nissin brakes are superb . No abs and all the rubbish on modern machines and it's one of the last of the real motorcycles and was similar to the original laverda Jota but the finish was more durable and better in my opinion. A mate had 120 and 180 jotas and one of them holed a piston at 3000 miles.

I've had two of these 900 triples -- still have my 98 Sprint Sport and don't believe I'll ever part with it -- and they are great bikes. However, the comment about there being a lot of accessories/aftermarket items is false. There may have been accessories available when these were still being built, but now you're limited to making generic, one size fits all accessories work. There are still some exhausts available, but that's about it. You're also better off as an owner of one of these if you are capable of doing all maintenence and repairs yourself. Shops don't like working on bikes this old, and carburetors??? People don't know what those are anymore.

using Ai for audio is bad news

Your abuse of video transitions is nauseating and hire a real narrator instead of using AI
