But no. When the model line-up was announced, top sports\n\u003cbr\u003e honors were awarded to motorcycles carrying the word Daytona in their title. Those Canny Triumph folk had\n\u003cbr\u003e other plans for their Bonnevilles. Early Daytonas suffered a little from Triumph's 'modular' approach to their new\n\u003cbr\u003e range. Almost all major components of both engines and cycle parts were as common across the entire range as\n\u003cbr\u003e was practical, given the need to appeal to as many Riders as possible. A predictable result of this was that most of\n\u003cbr\u003e the early bikes were compromised but where compromise can be seen as a negative, the character which also\n \u003cbr\u003eresulting from the design philosophy was the opposite. While all of the machines in those early days were\n\u003cbr\u003e competent, the Daytona stood out as being one of those which repaid effort and understanding on the part of the\n\u003cbr\u003e rider; the 4-cylinder Daytona 1000 in particular. Press testers were often critical, but owners loved them, even theirs\n\u003cbr\u003e very revvy, highly-strung character had its fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Daytona notoriety appeared in the form of the Daytona 1200, a machine of truly awesome performance;\n\u003cbr\u003e performance from the vastly powerful engine which the rest of the machine struggled to handle. Which is, of\n\u003cbr\u003e course, the stuff from which Legends are made, and indeed those 1200cc, 145bhp monsters have a considerable\n\u003cbr\u003e fan following of their own, remaining blisteringly fast to this day. The 900cc 3-cylinder models were less rapid, but\n\u003cbr\u003e were also much more manageable. The arrival of the T595 Daytonas in 1997 changed everything. Suddenly, the\n \u003cbr\u003emodular approach was reduced in its impact, and Triumph built the first of their truly market sector-leading sports\n\u003cbr\u003e bikes using entirely new engine and cycle parts. To great effect; the new machines looked stunning, particularly in\n\u003cbr\u003e the brilliant gold finish, they sounded unique with their 3-cylinder engines howling on song, and their handling and\n\u003cbr\u003e Braking was well up to the standards of the class. The model was renamed the 955i (which more accurately\n\u003cbr\u003e reflected the engines actual capacity) in 1999, and development was steady until its demise in 2006, by which\n\u003cbr\u003e time it was viewed more as a sports tourer by most pundits, rather than an out-and-out sports machine. The\n\u003cbr\u003e The Daytona line changed again at this point, with the introduction of Triumphs new 675 model, but that is another\n\u003cbr\u003e story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e A total of 156 fully illustrated pages.
