2002 Triumph 955 Daytona

#1 Unread post by racerx45 »

I am looking at getting a used bike and wanted to get a few opinions on this bike. I have a Yamaha XS 650 (’81) and am tried of putting money into it. I am not sure about going from one style of bike to the other and going from a 650 to a 955.
Want I would like to know is the Triumph an easy bike to maintain? Are there costly services for it? Is it a rider friendly bike or dose it demand a lot when ridden?
The bike will be used for two things; one is the occasional commute to work (an hour ride each way), and two weekend rides up the coast. So if this isn’t a good bike for that please feel free to let me know.
I have just started looking to upgrade and saw this bike in an ad. It is a 2002 Daytona 955i with 4800 on the trip meter. They are asking $6,500.00 is that about right? Any other bikes I should look for that might be better for what I need? Thanks,
Steve
