The Daytona 1200 Special Edition Registry:
In 1998, a year after going out of production, Triumph re-launched the 1200 Daytona as a limited production run of only 250.
It was in black and gold and had the 6 pot calipers from the Super III. Each one had its own numbered plate on the headstock. The factory told me that one of the badges got damaged and when they ordered a replacement it came in sequence as number 251.
I got mine in August 1998 and I'll keep it forever!
I'd like to start a log to keep track of where they all went and when they were last seen. If you've got one, or you know where one is please help me compile a registry.
Please post below and let me know about it and provide that number!
