The '''Triumph Daytona 1200''' is a 1200[[cc]], [[four cylinder]], [[four stroke]], [[super sport motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Triumph]] | |||
Two years after its reappearance on the motorcycling scene, [[Triumph]] produced its fastest and most powerful bike yet: the four-cylinder Daytona 1200, whose tuned version of the British firm's modular engine produced 145hp,enough for a top speed of 160mph. | |||
==Performance and Style== | |||
Although named after the [[Daytona speedway]] in Florida, a circuit where the old Triumph [[marque]] scored famous victories in the 1960s, the 1200 was not a true race-replica. Instead, it was a big, fairly heavy machine intended to combine high performance and aggressive styling with reasonable practicality. | |||
==Top Specifications== | |||
The Daytona was created by tuning the water-cooled, 16-valve engine from the [[Triumph Trophy 1200|Trophy 1200]] [[sports-tourer]] ,then bolting it into a chassis that used the top-specification components available within Triumph's unique modular format. Thus the newcomer wore sophisticated suspension and brakes, but shared much -including its steel spine frame, wheels and numerous engine parts with most others in Triumph's eight-hike range. The souped-up motor was powerful, although it had lost a little mid-range performance, and encouraged frequent use of the six-speed gearbox. Like the other Triumphs, the Daytona was a tall bike , less nimble than many Japanese sportsters, But its rigid frame and excellent Japanese suspension provided very good handling. The Daytona was | |||
practical, too, thanks to features such as its protective fairing, bright twin headlights, comfortable seat and generous fuel range. | |||
*Displacement: 1180.00 ccm (72.00 cubic inches) | |||
*Engine type: In-line four | |||

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. | 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. | ||
