RESTORED 1969 Triumph DAYTONA T100R 500

I had the high pipe t100c, 1970 with the Jacaranda and silver paint. Rode it, restored it and rode it for many more years. Man I miss it! That's a very nice machine. 👍

Love my Daytona! The most underrated of all the classic Triumphs.

Hey Ken. I just gotta say, if I was offered the best Harley Davidson in the world or that little Daytona as a gift, no brainer, I’d take the Triumph. What a sound. I like HD’s but that T100 is really special. Thanks for sharing. God bless

Lovely Bike! The Daytona had more radical "Q" cams that allowed the bike to come alive at 4, 500 rpm and scream all the way to 7, 500 - the close ratio trans and the light weight made this a JOY on canyon roads - I bought a 1972 T100R in Feb of '73 - BEST $1, 100 I ever spent

I love right foot shift !!
My first Sporty still reminds me those great days of riding stuff nobody wanted

Great looking and sounding Daytona.
Love all of these classic bikes and I'm not even that old yet lol
They will never really replicate classic motorcycles with modern retro bikes, which are very cool but not even close to originals for me.

My father use to park his 67 triumph trophy in our living room before we had the garage built.i remember the sound and the front wheel shaking away on the double stand.i just bought a 1968 triumph bonneville myself pick it up this weekend looking forward to putting some miles on it while the Harley Dyna 120r is parked right next to the bonneville

Nothing better than these Triumph 500s. I'm biased though

[mihaimike]

In my opinion Triumph make the most beautiful motorcycles. Classic and performance 😎👍👍👍

Great bike 72/73 was the last year of BSA and their ownership of Triumph before Dennis Poor bought out all of BSA's assets, Meriden built and sold just under 30, 000 bikes, yet demand was twice that many. Problems with part supply and industrial action at Meriden meant a shortage of supply. Later in 73 Dennis Poor decided to close Meriden and transfer all Triumph production to the former BSA factory at Smallheath Birmingham. The workers at Meriden locked themselves in the factory in a dispute that would eventually lead to the workers cooperative on the one ham but the destruction of Triumphs American dealership on the other, so when production finally resumed their was too few dealers left to sell the bikes.

Beautiful looking and sounding Triumph.

Nice always like Triumph, BSA
The choppers looked and sounded good too

[sonnyseabury]

Sharp bike. My uncle used to have a Triumph.

[paulgrogan]

Breathtaking...the new owner will certainly have a dilemma whether to ride or preserve🏆

I remember going to the dealer with my brother who bought that 1969 Triumph but it was a Tiger so it had that single carb. That bike was just so beautiful back then. My brother was 16 years old and i 11 years young 😂 Wow, those days are gone. He rode it for 2 years and traded it for a brand new 1971 Honda CB 450 so he could have dual carbs 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 the biggest mistake ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The previous owner did a good job putting the bike back together.
