Has anyone ever ridden a Triumph Daytona Super III?

I only ask as I'd never heard of them until the other day, and you never really hear them mentioned. I was looking into the T595/955i sports bike as it's one of my dream bikes and came across the mention of the Super III as having been the bike that preceded the T595. Never seen one for sale in the UK, can't find any current adverts to suggest what sort of market value they have but anecdotal reports suggest they are mildly collectible and values relatively buoyant for what is essentially an old, slightly GT-ish bike. The looks though, those headlights...







The T595 that came after it is just amazing too, in it's own right...

The value seems stiff for an older bike but I suppose it starts the lineage of Triumph sports bikes that we're still seeing today. Interesting that the Speed Triple seems to be the bike that has made the name for itself as the years have gone on and the Super III has somewhat been consigned to history (and perhaps not memory!). As it stands, I can't remember ever seeing one mentioned on PH.

The T595 seems to have made a bit more of a splash.
