We are pleased to introduce this Triumph Daytona "Mallory" for sale. Our example started its life as a Daytona 955i and then Marling Motorcycles waved their magic wand over the bike and produced the creation we see before us today. The bike had a full strip down of existing body work, Nose cone reworked to take single headlight, Halo light, dipped and full beam, Tail unit reworked to accommodate single Conical brake light, set in and scooped out indicator seams with Thunderbird lenses. Bespoke seat unit in diamond stitching, Top Yoke drilled out and riveted, Thunderbird sport front indicators, Bar end mirrors, Bespoke paint job in traditional racing colours (British racing green and cream), Custom period decals, Riveted aluminium panels to side fairings, Grills fitted to fairing cut outs and aftermarket Leo Vince GP exhaust.
Here builder Adam Marling tells us his story:
"In 1997 Triumph Motorcycles released a muscular triple powered 955cc sports bike to compete with the Japanese litre class race bikes. The T595 was over-engineered, cumbersome and behind the curve in understanding the relationship between weight and speed. In reality it never challenged the Fireblade or the R1. However, it was British, full of character, produced 130bhp and was built to last. Today these iconic motorcycles are gaining cult status particularly with us here at Marling Motorcycles. Due to their simple tube frame construction, fuel injection system, strong triple engines and evocation of a bygone age they lend themselves to considered customisation. To date we have produced about a dozen of these custom motorcycles; Cafe racers, Sports bikes and naked streetfighter styles, displayed at the Bike Shed Show and in kickback magazine.
With each project we learn a little more about what it takes to produce a bike with character. We aim to evoke a sense of both nostalgia and of the modern. To ride one of these specials is to be connected to the great names of Motorcycling’s golden age; Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Goodwood and Mallory Park. Our bikes are built for the real world; to be ridden, enjoyed, shared with others and allowed to get dirty."
