When John Bloor’s resurrected Triumph resurfaced in the 1990s, their completely revitalized lineup featured a brand new Daytona available in two configurations: one with a 1200cc inline four and one with a 900cc triple. The second-generation of the new Daytona, strangely now named the T595, was heavily revised and dropped the inline four variant, while increasing displacement to 955cc and adding fuel injection, along with a six-speed gearbox. The name was later sensibly updated as seen here to more accurately reflect the growling triple’s displacement, and the bike became the Triumph Daytona 955i. The revised styling of the second-generation bike was modern and very classy, the single-sided swingarm was the height of fashion, and the bike handled as well as a Triumph should. But unlike other literbikes of the period, the Daytona wasn’t focused on lap times or peak horsepower figures. Ergonomics were sporty but reasonably comfortable, the 128hp engine was flexible and featured plenty of midrange grunt, and the build quality was high. It was a sportbike for the road, the quintessential “gentleman’s express” and, although sales were modest, the bike was restyled in 2002 and produced until 2006.

Original Owner 2000 Triumph 955i Daytona With 3,900 Miles Tornado red with only 3,900 miles from new

Climate controlled garage kept and fitted with the Triumph carbon race can and ChatterBox Alarm since new. I have all of the original keys, pillion seat and OEM exhaust muffler, literature, all removed OEM parts and Triumph Workshop Manual. OEM coolant hoses were recently replaced with AS3 silicon hoses and SS clamps from the UK as well as new front fork seals and replacement silicon hoses for the OEM plastic IACV items.

Numerous spares, Triumph Swing Arm stand, 2 smoke fairing screens and several Daytona specific tools will accompany the bike as my Sports Bike riding days need to be replaced with my more sedately 79’ T140D Bonneville!

When new, the Triumph Daytona 955i never really stood a chance if you were cross-shopping it against the Japanese competition: it was just softer, in terms of both power output and handling. But these days, its blend of real-world performance, character, affordability, and good looks make it extremely appealing. If you’re in the market for one of these Daytonas, this one looks especially nice: very low miles, one owner, tasteful upgrades, and all the original parts are included. The only real downside? It’s in Florida, and some of my bike-collecting buddies claim that you should never bike a bike from Florida… Personally, I’d just prefer it in the wild “scorched yellow” or classy silver scheme, but this is undoubtedly an extremely nice example of a very underrated and affordable sportbike.
