The mirrors on the Daytona aren't fixed... they're quite adjustible actually. It wouldn't make sense if they were fixed. Although, since the bike is 27.5 inches wide at the handle bars, and the mirrors are inset a small bit from that they don't get the best of a view. Infact, I get mostly my elbows in the mirrors and have to pull them in slightly to check whats behind me. Other than that, they're actually nice mirrors and have very little to no vibration at highway speeds.

Maybe the bat bike isn't such a good idea...

That's rediculous! Are you sure?

I've always thought the Triumph bikes were sexy. They make the only naked bike I like. First purchase is a new car, next is a?bike. Do bikes have factory warrenties?

Yeah, my TriHump has a 2 Year/Unlimited mileage warranty.

Their new bike, the Street Triple 675 is going to be off the chain! Basically a naked version of the Daytona. They de-tune it slightly for more down low power for around town, but it'll still be stupid fast.

maybe its a yank/aussie model name thing. i was looking at a 98 model daytona new. this was when i bought my gsxr instead.

i went to adjust the mirrors at the dealer and was politely told they weren't adjustable and would have to pay for breakages. then later a guy at work rocked up on one. he was shorter and suited him fine.

hey rich, have you seen my knees. there on www.ratemyknees.com complete with operation scars and missing kneecap bits. they are truly a sight to behold. add the fact that i'm white, pasty white in fact due to the aussie sun causing cancer within 15 minutes exposure.
