Wasp Daytona

An opportunity to acquire a piece of recent motorcycling history and ride a modern take on the iconic cafe racer. This unique prototype Triumph Wasp Daytona 500 was created in the style of the legendary Dunstall Dommies and Degens' Dresda Tritons by Dave Owens and Classic specialist Nobby Clark. The Wasp duplex frame is light and handles the Triumph 500 twin perfectly, creating a bike that is more to ride than the sum of its parts. Take a look at the magazine article and read for yourself how impressed they were in the May 2000 issue.The bike spec was changed because it never ran right with the amals and pipes in the mag, so they fitted dell'ortos and a siamese system as per their competition bikes and she flew . The idea being classic racing elegability (big silencer) but the last mature owner, who is the only owner since the test, wasn't into racing and in fact rarely rode the bike. If, like the bike's creator, you value the feel of the old with the performance of the present, this is a compelling ownership and riding proposition.
