The Triumph Daytona nameplate carries a legacy that spans from classic 1960s racers to modern three-cylinder sport bikes. The original T100 Daytona was born from Buddy Elmore's 1966 victory at the Daytona 200, cementing the 500cc twin in racing history. After Triumph's rebirth in the 1990s, the name was revived for a series of successful sport bikes, most notably the Daytona 675 which debuted in 2006. Its characterful inline-three engine and sharp chassis offered a distinct alternative to the Japanese 600cc competition.
Collectors appreciate different eras of the Daytona for unique reasons. The original T100 models are sought for their classic British charm and racing pedigree. For modern enthusiasts, the 675 and later 675R are highly regarded for their exceptional handling and sound, representing a high point for analog supersport machines before electronics became dominant. Limited editions like the final Daytona 765 Moto2 are already seen as future classics due to their rarity and direct link to Grand Prix racing technology.
The market for Daytonas is broad, reflecting the wide range of models. The average sale price of just over $6,500 indicates that clean, modern examples like the 955i and early 675 are very affordable. Classic T100s and limited-edition modern bikes like the 675R and 765 command higher prices, with the best examples exceeding $12,000. Overall, it's an accessible entry into either classic British motorcycling or modern supersport ownership.
Buying Tips
- For classic T100 models, check for matching frame and engine numbers and inspect for common oil leaks from the crankcase and primary cover.
- On 675 models (especially 2006-2008), listen for excessive engine ticking at idle, which could indicate valvetrain or crankshaft bearing wear. Ensure the 12,000-mile major service, including valve check, has been performed.
- Examine modern bikes for signs of track use, such as drilled fairings, aftermarket rearsets, and excessive wear on tire edges. This isn't always bad, but it suggests harder use.
- Check the charging system on all Hinckley-era models. Faulty regulator/rectifiers are a known weak point that can lead to a dead battery and a fried stator.
Prices range from around $1,650 for project bikes to over $12,515 for pristine classic or limited-edition modern variants.
