Triumph’s entry into the late 1990s sports bike market

Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer but it hasn’t been an easy path for the manufacturer. The British bike industry collapsed in the 1970's and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership. British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his “new” Triumph company re-starting production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s most desirable and best-selling brands. Reviving one of the classic names from the 1960s, the three cylinder Daytona T595 was launched in 1997 as an all out sports model to compete with the likes of GSXRs and Firelades, putting out around 128 BHP with 75 ft/ lbs of torque at 9500 RPM.
This Daytona T595 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas he's decided to downsize his collection. The T595 was the true inheritor of the famous 'Daytona' name offering more sports orientated performance than previous Triumphs. Presented in standard and original condition including its carbon end can this bike will surely become a future classic. Last run about 3 years ago it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with lots of old receipts, a couple of MOTs and a current V5C.
