About the bike

2006 Triumph Daytona 955i

In 2002 the Daytona 955i had two big bits of news – a heavily revised engine giving a claimed 147bhp at the crank (and nothing like that at the rear wheel), and a twin-sided swing arm in place of the earlier bike's single sided version. It also got a sharper suit of clothes and revised suspension, but the frame was unchanged.

That configuration only lasted a year, and for the 2003 model year the single sided swing arm made its return. A mild revision in 2005 (slight bodywork changes, black frame instead of silver, updated fuel injection) was the only further change before the Daytona was dropped from the range in late 2006.
