The Triumph Daytona was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Triumph from 1991 to 1996 at the Hinckley plant in Leicestershire, England. In addition to the 749cc three-cylinder version, the maker made a 998cc four-cylinder model available along with two other machines with 900cc and 1,200cc powerplants.
In 1992, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 750, a sports machine in its second year of production, packing the same visual, technical, and performance specifications as the previous model.
In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a full fairing with two round headlights, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 296 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1992 Triumph Daytona 750 had installed underneath its dress a 749cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three BST CV carburetors, boasting 97 hp with maximum strength at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
