Triumph's first attempt at a cutting edge superbike, the T595 Daytona arrived at the start of 1997 and was an immediate success, despite being pitched against Honda's FireBlade and Ducati's 916. In a nod to the old Triumph company's heritage and drawing on the Hinckley firm's more recent experience, the new Daytona was a triple. Displacing 955cc, the fuel-injected 12-valve engine produced around 105-110bhp at the rear wheel, matching the FireBlade while having a character all of its own. The Daytona's looks were something special too, combining voluptuous curves with a Spondon-like aluminium frame, single-sided swingarm and three-spoke alloy wheels. Top speed was around 160mph. In 1999 the model was mildly updated and renamed, becoming the '955i'.
This 955I was purchased new by the current vendor in 2000 from On Yer Triumph in Tring and has covered only 3, 955 miles from new. Used sparingly since purchase and dry stored, it will need some recommissioning before returning to the road and is offered with a current V5C, old style V5C, Triumph owners manual and Triumph delivery sheet.
