Quick follow-up. Bike fever did eventually get the best of me. Bought a bright yellow 2000 Triumph Daytona 955i for $2500 cash. Practically new! Only 3200 miles on it. Garage kept, no scrapes, no scuffs.

Figure I can sell it for at least what I paid after the summer. My son from Ohio is already interested in 'taking it off my hands'. LOL

Feels like a toy compared to the Busa. Haven't brought it home yet, but will post up some pics when I do.

My son had an 03 (I think) Sprint RS 955i triple that was very fast and easy to ride. He kept up with me just fine on our multi state tour a few years back. His was yellow too, called Acidic Yellow by Triumph. The stator went out a week before our tour (thankfully) as getting that fixed in the middle of Montana would've been a real PITA.

Sorry for cut in lads , but that Gen 1 of yours GIXERHP is something pretty special !!! I have seen it with Ohlins fork , so is this an older pic ? , or is this the latest incarnation and the fork is now blacked out lowers etc. ?
