The '''Triumph Daytona 1200''' | The '''Triumph Daytona 1200''' was a 1200[[cc]], [[four cylinder]], [[four stroke]], [[super sport motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Triumph]] between 1993 and 1999. It could reach a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 84.82 ft/lbs (115.0 Nm) @ 8000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 143.89 HP (107.3 KW) @ 9500 RPM. | ||
== History== | |||
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. | 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. | ||

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. | 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.

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.

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. | |||
