In 1993, the British engineers from Triumph launched a model to rival the Japanese supremacy when it comes to fast production bikes, in the shape of the Daytona 1200.
With an 1180cc engine capable of producing 147 horsepower and a whopping 115 Nm of torque, it can easy match its rivals, but only in road conditions. It has been restricted to "only" 160 mph, the British preferring to focus on acceleration.
Also, the Daytona has a much more relaxed and comfortable riding poise, compared to its Japanese competitors, which makes it great for longer trips also. The machine feels right at home on country-side winding roads or fast motorways, alike.
This well- kept example was first registered by Peter Shread of Kings Lynn on the 25th August 1993, serviced on the 25th May 1994 at 466 miles and then in August 1995 at2,478 miles. MOT's run from September 1996 at 3,571 miles, 1997 at 4,449 miles, 1998 at 5,239 miles, 1999 at 5,973 miles, 2000 at 6,834 miles, 2002 at 7,984 miles, 2003 at 8,620 miles, 2004 at 8,682 miles, 2005 at 8,789 miles.
