Anyone else noticed the indicator on from the roundabout at 1:56 till about 2:57 😂.
Great video. I've recently bought a 2004 955i speed triple and my dad just bought a 1999 daytona
I KNOW! Very embarrassing from a biker of 40 Years 🤣
Ideally prefer the later 955 motor in my earlier 955 as i much prefer the earlier styling!
I'm 54 and 5'10. Fits me perfectly. I went from Oxfordshire to Scotland in one hit. Only stopping for fuel and food.
Took me around 9 hours. Half way I strapped my rucksack to the pillion seat with some cords from a service station. 3 days later I rode back in the rain without a single problem.
It does 50mpg all the time, and I don't hang around.
That was 5 years ago. I paid £2750 02 plate 24k.
Still got one for that now.
I have a 2006 model one of the very last.Had it for 8 years and you don’t see many at all left.Selling it soon fancy a change. Best bike I’ve ever had and kept❤
Such a fun bike, I cannot fault them 😃
I'm 58 and still have mine. Same year, same colour. I've owned it since 2002, I'm the second owner. I am getting to the stage where I think I need to sell it. The trouble is, every time I do ride it, I think, oh just one more year. I absolutely love it. I'm going to hate to have to part with it.
This would be in my garage for ever (if I had a garage) there is just nothing else quite like it in my opinion. and certainly not for the money!
I found an '02 as my barn find two years ago. It had 67mi. on it. I changed all the fluids and got to break in the bloody thing, Really. Just turned 1100mi. All original. Even the tires are 22 yo and look brand new, without a crack. Delivery night for the bike is my only posted video. Only a minute long, check it out. By the way like your high exhaust. The stock can sticks past everything else at the back of the bike. Being somewhat lower I hit the tip on crap behind me backing her up all the time. Makes me nuts. I'm totally with you, I love the thing. My cup of tea ,scraping pegs on cruiser bikes while hardly turning, not so much. Also don't want all the aids and electric B's on the new stuff plus paying through the nose for it all. Just pure bike.
What a find! keep it forever 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes Keeping it is not a problem. Have a hard time getting rid of things I love, I have three other street bikes. They don't take up much space and always amazed by how the same two wheels on the ground feel so different with different machines. Funny too is all info available now on line of the known bike issues were all there after sitting brand new for twenty years. I addressed them quickly, so I would get no surprises. The only thing left to be a problem is the starter issue but so far it seems ok so I have left it alone. Only other thing that sucks is the alcohol in fuel nowadays reeks havoc on the plastic tanks causing them to swell and leach fuel out from under the paint. Iv been mixing with some race fuel and I found a pump that has no alcohol to try and mitigate the situation. I believe Governments making this crappy fuel are doing it to kill off all old vehicles for the future because otherwise this fuel destroys everything and is good for nothing else except giving farmers something to grow. No problem yet but it worries me to be honest. There was a slight debate in my head about it being in climate control and essentially new and unused all those years, how many in the world could there possibly be. But he'll they are built to be used and I am not a wealthy person to just spend money to let something sit for the future. I think the bike and me are happier to use it for what it was intended for. Praise the guy that bought something new for 14k drove it home and parked it with 4mi on the OD. For my enjoyment 20 years later. It got driven to my house and dropped in my lap with the 67mi on it. It would have been even less but my friend got lost on a toll road for a bit and getting aggravated did 130mph on the old thing fresh out of the long slumber. It happened for some reason and felt meant to be, so I bit the line. It was sort of a gamble, it could just blow up but I would have kicked myself later if I let her get away. Bikes are in my blood and feel lost without them.
I put one and a half inch risers on mine and have no problem doing 200 miles without a stop and I’m 58.It’s also very economical on tour and ridden properly
Good to know for the next One 👍
Where did you get your risers if I may ask?
@@controlledchaos7808 They were on the bike when I got it couldn’t have coped otherwise!
Just an awesome find mate, love these 😁
One of my all time favourites :)
Got it for a steal. Just bought one to turn into a track bike the triple sound amazing
Has to be in my top 5 bikes I've owned (so far) 😁
What an absolute bargain. I came very close to buying a 955i but ended up with a Firestorm (which I am really enjoying), as the one I wanted at the time was just too far from me.
Hope you managed to watch the 2 Firestorm videos on the channel as well then 😁
I've had one of those VTR's in silver too. I was going twice the speed limit on country roads, my brother in law couldn't keep up on his vfr800, so sold that one.
Did you already ride the 2020-2022 speed triple. How is the throttle response compared to the older bike? On/off & engine braking
Not had the chance to get on the more updated Speedy yet, almost bought the RS this Year, but hearing terrible stories on the gearboxes and QS really put me off,
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I own the 2010 Speed Triple and I sold my 2017 Tuono for that. I am not a fan of digital throttles, engine braking, emissions crap, etc.....
A fantastic bike for the money and for our roads. Did these have a mid series power jump? I'm sure I read the later ones were 147hp at the crank and the earlier ones were less.
Not certain about the power jump, but thanks for the comment 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes sorry.. I'm wrong. I'm thinking of the power jump the 955i had over the original T595.
@@user-cn8vb9hh5z Yes they did up the power from the T595 for sure
With the body work change the 2001 and up motor was updated also from 130 to 147 or 149 depending on where you see it, Hotter cams and more compression with forged crank, rods and pistons. Also was 12lbs lighter with lighter wheels and the double sided swing arm, down to 414lbs. Swing arm was 7.5lbs of it and stiffer than the single
I would have really liked to have a fuel gauge on my daytona instead all we get is a light that warns only when fuel is low.
Does anyone know what the reserve is when the low fuel light lights up?
Generally you get around 20 Miles once the light comes on (depending on how you ride of course)
its a 2002 ddsa. i have the same color year bike. ddsa rare here in usa.
@ 1:35 Will you please remember to turn off the indicator when you are forgetting the specification details of the 955 compared to the 509 and not paying full attention to the road !!!
Be safe
I know..... That was a bit shocking to see
@@Budget-Cars-And-BikesIt's my bad habit too 🧐🧐
@@sichere it's harder to spot on a Sports Bike I think, as you are always looking UP to see where the road is, on a touring bike, or naked bike it's far easier to look down and see it after a couple of seconds (that's my excuse anyway) 🤣
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I hardly ever look down at the dials when riding and stay mainly fixed on the road ahead, with the occasional look in the mirrors and over the shoulder and try to use the indicators as little as possible. The 595 mirrors are a joke as is the standard exhaust on the 955 but they ride well and are built for real roads not the track. I'd call them Sports Tourers or a Gentlemans' Racer
How its the riding compared to 955i Sprint? Daytona still have torque on lower rpm? Think I will chose Daytona and install a handlebar...
The Sprint is far more docile in my opinion, great for touring, but no real excitment like the Daytona has, it looks fast just sitting there 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I am used with supersport, but thinking to buy something to hold on, which I will be able to ride as i get older also. Found one 2002 Daytona 955i close to me, 2100 euro, 35k km looks like a good deal.
@@2WheelDerness Have you considered the 1050 Sprint ST from Triumph? that is an amzing bike, with power and comfort at a great price, I reviewed One on my channel too 🙂
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes yes, I found some ~3500euro but they are quite heavy and underpowered... but I consider to test drive one and make an idea... at least 955i are cheap (half price), so I could accept the minuses 😅
Nice bike. Surely it will need new tyres as well if it's been stood for 10 years in a barn?
For personal use yes of course, but for a new MOT I think the just check the tread? I would have changed them both if I were keeping it 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I wouldn't feel right selling that bike with such old tyres. Generally tyres have a life of 5 to 10 years, even if the tread is fine. I'd feel I'd be setting someone up for an accident because of hard tyres.
@@alphaomega5721 It sold to a dealer as part of another deal, so the onus is on them to sort the tyres out, it is of course possible the tyres were changed at some stage over the 10 years, as it did have a few MOT test during that time 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes check the sidewalls. Date of manufacture will be printed there. Four digit number. WeekYear.
@@alphaomega5721 I would, but as I said the bike went to a dealer as a PX deal on a new bike, which will be on the channel soon 😏
How’s the reliability?
There are a few "known issues" the same as any other vehicle/bike. But generally very reliable engines, and super easy to work on, you can even change ECU settings on your laptop with free software, TPS, new maps, any lots more, when my 1st Daytona was running rough I just downloaded another map, and installed it outside my house, very simple 😁
Hi, would you happen to know where the flasher relay is on my 2002 955i Daytona , i replaced 15 amp fuse but no clicking from relay thanks baz , love your channel
If I remember correctly, it's under the riders seat, but on some models it can be found behind the right lower side panel. 😉
Hanging on the right side sub frame under body work under the seat. Four in a row next to the regulator/rectifier. Worth replacing that too since they all go bad and can take out the stator along with it
@@plap. So I was sort of correct then 😉
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes Absolutely, and the fifth one the ignition is directly under the seat. He probably would have still found them but any help I figured wouldn't hurt.😁
That is a 2002 model.
This particular bike was registered in 2001 😉
Liskeard?
Oh Yes 😁
