The Triumph Daytona T595 was introduced in 1997 in an attempt by Triumph to tap into the sports bike market. Despite the T595 name, the bike featured a 955 cc displacement in-line three-cylinder engine designed in part by Lotus. Along with the other triple-cylinder Triumphs, the Daytona helped to establish the newly managed manufacturer and its distinctive and unique three-cylinder motorcycles.
The T595-model name concatenated the new engine series "T5" and the first two numbers of the "955 cc" displacement. In 1999 the bike was renamed 955i because the T595 model name gave the impression that the bike's engine displaced 595 cc.
LUT was bought by Mark Hession in 2001 and was in a poor condition so he sent it to our vendor, a noted bike restorer. Eventually he decided not to pay for the works being undertaken and signed the bike over. The restoration was completed and the bike used sparingly. In 2021 the bike underwent a complete 69 point makeover, paperwork on file and had its tank relined and painted due to ethanol issues. Last used in 2023 when it only travelled some 22miles it is now ready for a new home.
