01/02/2005: "Triumph Daytona 955i Motorcycle"
The Daytona 955i has proved, over the years and miles, that balance is everything. With large amounts of horsepower comes the need for finesse. And while achieving true balance for a sports machine is no easy task, the Daytona 955i excels because it's been designed, from its inception, as a real world performance motorcycle.
And performance is intrinsic to the Daytona 955i's appeal. Its fuel-injected, three-cylinder engine packs a heavyweight 147bhp punch, which the benchmark chassis - that includes aluminium frame, fully adjustable suspension and powerful four-piston front brake calipers - intuitively contains.
Sleek lines add real class and a touch of 'GT' style to the Daytona 955i's multi-faceted persona, while its sophisticated ergonomics make for all day riding comfort. Beautifully blending raucous, triple-cylinder brawn with scalpel-like handling ability, the Daytona 955i is an intoxicating mix. It's the light with the shade, the rough with the smooth, the sugar and the spice. It's all of these things, and more.
The Daytona 955i is a unique propostion. It matches power to control and serves up a hugely satisfying riding experience in the process. Now that's what you call balance.
