I think this whole issue goes back to basic discussion. People don't generally buy a Triumph to have the fastest bike out there. I think they are for those that want something a bit different, that is a good all round bike, reliable and fast enough to have a riot on. Triumph really hits that all rounder niche. Trying to squeeze more out of a motor that was basically developed to the max, seems a waste of time and money. If a person really needs faster or more powerful, for about as much as it would cost to try and upgrade or further develop a Daytona, one could go out and buy a GSXR a few years old and smoke a Daytona. Like rickster said and I have experienced, the gains are in fine tuning with a tuneboy or power commander. Spend the time and money on a suspension conversion like Decosse or even an ohlins conversion like racecomp offers and then have a bike that runs great and handles great. The tona is a great machine as is and is no longer even in production. We should all enjoy them while we still have them. I always think about the fact that for every gain we squeeze out of a machine there is a loss somewhere. I generally tend to think that loss would be in reliability and longevity. I think I'll keep mine the way it is.
