outside the mainstream
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 23, 2008When you own and ride a Triumph,you are running outside the mainstream of bikes on the road.The average bikes in the Japanese market are all very much the same, from one maker to another.The Triumph is different,unique not your average bike you may see whilest travelling the hiways.
Mine is ... a 2004 Triumph Daytona 955i,it catches the eye of lots of people no matter where I go.
It's quick,nimble,and has character through it's looks,sound,style and performance.
I may be out of my league if up against some the big 4 cylinder Japanese on the hiway,but certainly surprise an awful lot of fellow's with my triumph.
I currently rode a Ducati 748,ST2 version,really nice,a pleasure to ride,would I own a Duc? sure,would I trade my Triumph for one, Nope!
To close........it's fun,stylish,unique,fast,nimble,what else could a bike need to offer an enthusiest

Doesnt matter where you go, you are the only one.
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 16, 2008This is my second 955 in the Triumph line. I started with a Sprint ST and realized that the suspension was not up to the task amd moved up to a Daytona. Both are great bikes. The Daytona is by far the roomiest and most comfortable full on sportbike out there. I am 6'3" and 220lbs so that matters ... a lot to me. I just dont fit on my buddies: 2004 ZX-10, 2005 GSXR 1000. It will run with any other bike on the street easily. Only at the track would you sacrifice a little. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. The exclusivity and the sound alone make this bike a must ride to me.

Something different... Somthing special
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 15, 2008The look, the sound, and most of all the ride, is different than any other sportsbike out there. I've owned mine for three years and have honestly not rode my Yamaha YZF 1000 since I purchased the Daytona. The Triumph Daytona 955i is very comfortable on long commutes, and is a blast riding through ... twisty mountain or country roads. It is quick enough to keep up and pass my four cylinder friends, while pretty enough to cruise through city streets. The seated position feels to fall between a sportsbike and a sport touring bike, which to me is perfect. The dealer network is sizeable and growing,although I have not needed any major work to be done. The cost of routine matainance is comparable to other sportbikes. But, the feel you get when riding one is absolutely comparable to none other. If your trying to choose a bike that's not "cookie cutter", ride a Daytona and it will choose you.
