Triumph Daytona 955i

I was not in the market for a new bike when I first came across the Triumph Daytona 955i. It took me good day to head back to the bike shop and go for a test ride. Sold. It was a mint 02 plate with 4000 miles on the clock. I was not out long for the test, but the quality of the ride was great. I wanted a bike that would be more comfortable than my GSXR 600 SRAD and have more mid range. The engine is a peach, oodles of torque from the off. The revs build quickly with a broad range of power. It is a three cylinder, gives you the tyre shredding torque similar to a v-twin, while being able to rev and deliver horsepower like a four cylinder. The sound is awseome, fit ...  Read the complete review

I bought a high mileage (25k) 04 955 a few weeks back. I was looking for something with character/personality rather than bland out and out performance easily obtained from a Suzy or Yam etc. Wanted a duke 748 but something that didn't fall apart everytime you pressed the start button! I soon learned what a brilliant choice I had made. 25k miles is nothing to the big Brit and it just oozes character without compromising performance and what a sound not even a Scorpion kitted thou can match. Turn heads? You bet it does. Grin?, you bet I do. But only 2.5k from rear tyre - ...  Read the complete review

Finally, some brash British Steel! - Advantages: Handling, Acceleration, Style - Disadvantages: Rear brake, Exhaust note, Resale value

This is a very fast bike and as great acceleration, the bike looks very good and turns heads were every you ride it. This bike as well as been one of the best in the world it is one thousand pounds cheaper than any of the japanese models. The bike as great a handling technic, top speeds of over 145mph and is great at taking corners. This is a british bike and is still at top of the tree in my opionion, so I plead to the bikers of the uk that buy british to keep our history and last bike company from going under. Top Machine ...  Read the complete review
