Goodbye, Darth Vader. Hello, Yellow Terror.

Why? I don't know.

Bye Bye 1996 Daytona 900,




Hello, 1995 Daytona 900 Super III.






Much lower mileage, much lower production numbers, much bigger brakes, 15 more horsepower. And it's YELLOW!

Neither of these bikes really answer a question anyone ever asked, but they're lots of fun.


Happy riding. Be careful!

To be honest it's a little dirty but I'll bust out the armor-all today and get the tires nice and car-show clean, right before I take a rippin fast run up the canyon. Should be no prob.

Nice upgrade. You needed to buy the different color - nobody would have noticed otherwise.

Also, FWIW, the paint is better visible in traffic.

To be honest,

Today on the Super III was great in comparison to the Daytona 900. Subtle, but great. Rolling on from 5-9K is much much different.

And there's only a few hundred of them- ever!! and we'll be seeing 3 of them tomorrow!!!! Fun.

Why all this "to be honest" stuff? You don't need that. We always assumed you were honest.

Great looking bike... and I agree about the higher visibility... there can never be too much of that. Paint your helmet fluorescent orange if you haven't already.

Hey, how come there's no chick seat?

Awesome bike swap!

Well, to be honest I never noticed that I type 'to be honest' so much. Guess I'll have to work on it!

Make sure you don't trade it for "actually."

I'm sure you've run into people who use it to start almost every sentence or phrase. Ugh.

I thought Armor All was verboten on motorcycle wheels, as it reduces traction.

Here's 3 of the 187 Triumph Super IIIs that came to the USA from 1994-1996.

Mine is the one with the jet fokkin black armor-all tires.

Jeremy, this is why you are supposed to use green when joking.

I enjoy the horrified responses too much.
