Topic: Triumph Daytona 955i Cent Edition

[Chester345]

So, if you were in the market for a bike, and found a 2002 with only 2400 miles on it, and the guy wants $1300 over blue book RETAIL...

and knowing that the maintenance schedule for this bike, if done at the dealer, is pricey...

So asking for that amount of money for the relatively unused bike, would you as a buyer expect the 5yr maintenance to have been done (4yr or 24k miles, 5r or 30k miles are on the schedule from Triumph)?

I'm wary about buying a bike that has been used so little...should I be?

regardless of the quality and maintenance schedule...

Why 1300 over bluebook?

[Chester345]

Shrug, he thinks he has a diamond in the rough.

Not that I'd pay that, but I do like the bike, I've been drooling over those triples for many moons.

I've seen what a few years can do to older bikes left in the corner, I'm just really wondering if a 2000+ machine is immune to that somewhat!

Those years of the triples are notorious for injection issues if I remember correctly? Look into it regardless...either way just find another one that's been ridden more and for a lot less money. Less miles isn't always better. That and asking that much over blue book is absurd. It's not even remotely collectible.

Heh, well he thinks it is!  I do like the color and look of that Centennial Edition, and they had a couple other changed bits inside the engine.

We'll see, if the itch burns enough, I may go give it a look and see if I can bring him down to earth.
