First Triumph was a 500 Daytona in 1976, big mistake, threw a rod through the cases after a few months. Fast forward to 2000, via umpteen Jap twins & fours and the odd BMW, when I bought a 900 Sprint so I had a chance of keeping up with a mate on his 1200 Daytona. Loved the motor, especially the torque compared to the Jap stuff, but always found it top heavy, especially with a full tank. Sold it after a year and went back to Jap stuff. Last year I passed a local dealer and called in, at the back of the showroom was a 2001 RS, which he'd had for months, he offered a test drive, so much better than the old Sprint, lower, lighter, etc, I made him an offer he couldn't refuse, and I've still got it, can' see me parting with it, one of the best bikes I've ever owned
