TRIUMPH Daytona T595 (1998-1999) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1998, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona T595, a sports motorcycle that debuted in 1997. Despite its name, the bike packed a 995cc three-cylinder engine. In 1999, the bike was renamed as Daytona 955i.

The Daytona T595 was addressed to those riders who wanted a superbike but still desired a British-made badge that exhaled dependability and durability. Even though the bike delivered lower power figures than its competitors, the British engineers crafted a beautiful machine with an aggressive look and British class.

The bike packed the same standard features as the previous model in the visual department, including a full dress with two roundish headlights, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a three-into-one exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike's backbone was a lightweight aluminum perimeter frame with a 45 mm adjustable Showa telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.

The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

In the performance department, the 1998 Triumph Daytona T595 had installed underneath its full dress a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that delivered 130 hp at 10,200 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 8,300 rpm, pushing the motorcycle to 254 kph (158 mph).
