They're great bikes. I'm only having a few issues: a high running temp (which will freak you out at first) but apparently is natural, unless you get up into the 225-230 degree range, then you might have some trapped air in your cooling system. I'm also having a head bearing issue that I'm told is common that causes an annoying rattle when you come off the throttle. I'm told all you have to do is replace that bearing with another sized one and it fixes the problem.

Some people complain of battery problems but I've yet to have one.

I'm really happy with my choice and wouldn't reccomend anything else in the Literbike category over a Daytona. Sure, there are faster bikes and bikes that handle better but my Daytona is so stable that I wouldn't trade that piece of mind for a little better performance. Plus, to me the Triumph's carry with them some herritage that not many companies have (100 years or so). They're original, they're fun and nothing sounds like a big triple!!! :upthumb:
