    Good Points: Handling, brakes, engine & build quality.

    Bad Points: Screen too low.

    General comments: A great bike with all round comfort, stonking engine, great handling and its British.

    This is a British Bike. Just remember that. Its not made for anywhere else but GREAT Britain. The handling is tough and made for British roads. The bike shape itself is slender and very slim allowing for very easy passing through the traffic and filtering with great ease - like passing silk between the thighs! Has a great turning arc, hence allowing for sharp turns behind cars when filtering. I used to get around 160 miles to the tank (180 if I rode sensibly), great sunday riding or getting some ...

    The Triumph 955 is an amazing machine! Big power in every gear. Handles sharp turns at high speeds like a Sunday drive. Love every bit of it. Of course I just aquired it by trading my 66' Bonnieville, so I'm on a whole other planet now.

    I have the Triumph 995i Daytona myself, and pop to france a couple of times a year for a blast on there National roads which are not clogged and conjested, I would agree with all the ratings displayed. I can only praise Triumph for producing such a distinctive mahine in style and that fantastic raw from the exhaust.

    I have owned my 2002 cent edition bike since almost new and cherish it. Its rock soild and looks the business in comparison to the rice burners. I have upgraded the can with a blue flame, fitted gilles rearsets, fitted an undertray to tidy things up and a Jack Lilley Union Jack fairing, it looks killer. On the road its took more than a few suprised R1 and GSX riders, so why bother changing it. The best is the roar when those inductors open up, ace.

    The Triumph 955 is an addictive bike, doesn't excel in any area but very good in all (ride, handling, perfomance etc). Just wanted a change from in-line fours, keep looking at the latest rockets but can't bring myself to sell it.

    Great road bike, that's also unique, plenty fast and sharp enough handling for 99% of riders on the road. Overall, a great and unique motorcycle.

    This is my second big Daytona. I managed to write the first one off whilst touring in France last year but liked it so much I bought another. All I can say is it is a superb bike and as long as you are not interested in the latest/greatest pocket rocket from any of the Japanese companies will serve you well. A GSXR1000/Fireblade/R1/ZX10R will beat it on a track but I don't ride on a track, I ride on the road and this is a brilliant road bike. It's big enough for me (I'm 6'3"), comfy and stab ...

    Bought a Triumph 955i Daytona as my first big bike. I've loved every second of owning it. I've taken it through 8 countries and the Alps in Europe and have done 14 laps on the Nurburgring. It really holds it's own against other well known heavies on the street, though being a bit older now, I'm sure on a track that a modern Japanese bike would out-handle it. Really reliable. I've ridden it hard for extended periods of time, through rain, heat, cold, the lot. Hasn't missed a beat. Works well as ...

    I love this bike, to bad it doesn't have to much support in the US. Excellent ride and power, nice looks.

    I have ridden and owned many Japanese rocket-bikes, from in-line fours,600's Gpz 550's to the more firey 2-stroke Yams: 250, 350 LC's. But my Triumph 955i is the one I will keep and cherrish. I guess you could say that I have found my true love. She is big and meaty, the way I like 'em, and she never fails to satisfy, often taking me places I'd only previously dreamed of.

    I bought a high mileage (25k) 04 955 a few weeks back. I was looking for something with character/personality rather than bland out and out performance easily obtained from a Suzy or Yam etc. Wanted a duke 748 but something that didn't fall apart every time you pressed the start button! I soon learned what a brilliant choice I had made. 25k miles is nothing to the big Brit and it just oozes character without compromising performance and what a sound not even a Scorpion kitted thou can match. Tur ...

    I love the power of the Triumph 955i Daytona and the way it puts it down on the road. Brakes brill too. I saw a comment regarding bungie hooks. there are two under the rear seat that fold out. You have to take the seat off to find them.

    I have enjoyed the Triumph 955i Daytona immensely, but at 6,000 miles and just out of warranty the back wheel paint turned to snake-skin. Triumph seem to automatically refute all claims before investigation, they reluctantly changed the wheel. Last week the clutch cable broke at 7,000 miles, upon investigation the mounting bracket was misaligned with the actuator arm, resulting in the cable wearing through on the adjuster. Again Triumph HQ refute the claim. Has anybody else had this clutch iss ...

    Mine's a 2004 Black Triumph 955i Daytona SE, aftermarket Triumph Carbon can and remapped ECU. In 1st and 2nd it's a close call between me and my mates on the their shiny new Jap 600's once I get into 3rd - they are left for dead - they hate that! Handling is inspiring, power delivery is smooth and that triple HOWL - lovely!!! No reliability issues and it looks fabulous.

    I've had my 2002 Centenary Edition Triumph 955i Daytona sports bike from New and I love it. I used to be a regular changer of my bikes but I simply cannot find anything which has the power (147bhp) looks, handling and class of the 955i. You can stick this bike into bends at stupid speeds and even on the standard rubber it will crank over and hold a line, no problem. A much more capable bike than I will ever need. Great on the Continent, book says it will do 170mph and it will believe me!!

    The Triumph 955i Daytona sports bike looks so good especially with the single sided swing arm, good petrol consumption and tank size. Have travelled all over Europe on mine and it is great to drive. Watch out for wrist strain on really long journeys as bars are quite a way forward. Sounds awesome... people stop and stare. Has 127 bhp. Get a high level can (£350 from Triumph) and blow the oppo away with style. Ok so its not a honda kawasaki gsxR1Ninja but it has class...

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.
