In 1993, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 750, a sports motorcycle that debuted in 1991 and continued production until 1998 without any significant modifications.
The bike was manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England, the business successor of Triumph Engineering at Meriden Works, Warwickshire, England. The bike was also offered in a 998cc four-cylinder version.
The bike's appearance was similar to its predecessors, with standard features, such as a full fairing, two round headlights, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight aluminum wheels.
Underneath its dress, the 1993 Triumph Daytona 750 had installed a 749cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with three carburetors feeding the pistons, delivering 97 hp at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a tri-link adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 296 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
Also, in 1993, the 749cc engine was dropped from production and replaced with an 855cc triple engine already running on the Trident and Trophy series.
