Triumph’s entry into the late 1990s sports bike market
Showing a credible 8, 218 miles with an MOT until July 2025
Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer but it hasn’t been an easy path for the manufacturer. The British bike industry collapsed in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership. British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his “new” Triumph company re-starting production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s most desirable and best-selling brands. Reviving one of the classic names from the 1960s, the three cylinder Daytona T595 was launched in 1997 as Triumph's first out and out sports model to compete with the likes of GSXRs and Firelades at the sharp end of the Superbike market, putting out around 128bhp with 75ft/ lbs of torque at 9500rpm.
This T595 has been in family ownership for a lot of its life and is presented in good original condition, still fitted with its standard carbon look end can. Showing a credible mileage of just 8218 on its speedo, backed up by many old MOT certificates, it has been serviced at 562/ 4222/ 6718 and then at 8213 miles, the last one including plugs, oil and filter and a brake fluid change passing a MOT on the 14th July this year. Still a good looking bike, it must surely become a future classic as an example of Triumph's first foray into the cutting edge Supebike market normally dominated by the Japanese and Italian manufacturers. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
