The Triumph Daytona was a sports motorcycle made at the Hinckley plant in Leicestershire, England, from 1991 to 1996 by Triumph Motorcycle Ltd, the business successor of Triumph Engineering at Meriden Works, Warwickshire, England.
The bike was initially offered with a 749cc three-cylinder engine or a 998cc four-cylinder unit. Both machines had similar appearances and delivered excellent wind protection and a relaxed riding position.
In 1991, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 750, a sports machine that had standard features, such as a full fairing with two round headlights, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
Underneath its full dress, the 1991 Triumph Daytona 750 had installed a 749cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three carburetors, delivering 97 hp at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final chain drive.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.
As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 296 mm discs and four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.
