So what is a Triumph Daytona 900?

The 1994 Triumph Daytona 900 falls into the 'sport' category of motorcycle with an engine capacity of 885cc. It's an inline, 3 cylinder, liquid cooled motorcycle with 4 valves per cylinder and electric starter system. It has a 6 speed gearbox with dual discs up at the front and a single disc at the rear. The seat height is 790mm and it has a dry weight of 213kg. Now for the performance, it has a maximum power of 98.00 HP at 9000 rpm and a maximum torque of 83.00 Nm at 6500 rpm which gives a power to weight ration of 0.41 Hp/Kg. It will do 0-60 mph in 4 seconds and has a top speed of about 140 mph. Fast enough to get you into a lot of trouble if you let it.



The Daytona 900 would probably not even make it into the 'sports / tourer' category of modern Japanese tackle, in terms of performance, but it's still very beautiful even for a 16 year old design.
