Hi, If you have travelled extensively in Europe on that bike ,then you'll be fine over here .It might be a good idea to fit some higher bars [ the roads are much straighter and longer ] Tyres are relatively cheap in Canada so I wouldn't worry too much about them but a tread pattern like the Avon Distanzia might be a good idea .Triumph dealers are few and far between and only in the major cities ,but parts can be shipped easily to wherever you happen to be ,I don't know whether the Daytona 1200 was imported into Canada so model specific parts might be hard to get .
You could email dealers before you cross the pond to find out what stock they carry .
You'll find that your bike won't feel so big and heavy compared to the big full dress tourers that some people call bikes .
Side roads [paved -or tarmac!] will be a doddle ,higher bars will help on gravel sections too .
There are oil change franchises everywhere but I should bring your own filter and shop for oil at a Canadiantire store .
If you need bike clothing ,it will be cheaper here as well .
All the best for a great trip .
Dodger
