The Mighty Hornet was traded on a ... 2001 Triumph Daytona Centennial on the weekend!
Bit of a story with the Daytona - it's actually the same bike that I had bought a number of years ago only to discover it was a write-off dodgy repair and so I walked away from the sale. Turns out a mate of a mate bought it a few months later (for $5K less than i had) and has had a trouble free run for the last 20,000km.
The Mighty Hornet yielded a surprising trade-in value - more than I was offered when it was only a few weeks old and once I sell off the pipes etc I should yield more than what I could have realistically sold it for privately - Have got to be happy about that!
The bike presents well enough and given I want to streetfighter it to make a super speed triple, the bodgy repair bits should all be removed anyway.
Anyone know anyone who wants some slightly used Hornet bits?
