    Bought a 2004 low mileage Triumph 955i Daytona model few months ago. Overall very impressed and I like the bike. In particular, the brakes are superb, and the triple engine has loads of engine braking, which I wasn't expecting but means that during normal riding, just rolling off the throttle and applying a little rear brake is enough for many situations.
    The engine is great. You can trickle along at 30mph in 3rd gear, though it can get lumpy a low revs but you would expect that. It has a fanta ...

    I own the very last Triumph Daytona 955i registered in the UK. Not the last one built though. I feel it is as much a classic as the T140 Bonne! She has never let me down ever and she was registered during 2007 giving her that famous 07 plate before Triumph went back to the 675 Triple. I have ridden the 675 Triple 06 and yes It was good stuff even better than my 07 Ninja but It failed to give that big bike feel that all Daytona's gave. If you want a sports superbike buy a daytona 955i, failing t ...

    Absolutly fantastic. I bought this bike after initally going for a ZX10 or R1. My previous bike was a ZX9. It handles like a dream and I do the Birmingham to glasgow trip on it nearly every week. Tons of power and is comfortable to ride. Love it. When my ZX9 got trashed, I bought the 2000 daytona 955i as a stop gap before insurance payout for the new ZX10 and R1 but was so impressed with it, I bought a new 955i Limited instead.

    These bikes have great character and a special allure all their own. People stop to chat in the street and heads turn. I love riding mine (its a 2002 DSSA model which I particularly wanted for the weight saving and better chassis over the SSSA versions) even in the wet. The handling is excellent, always very competent, the sort of bike that smooths away bad moments. This is always reassuring because on the street, these are as quick as anything you'll meet. Mid range acceleration is stonking an ...

    Having owned many bikes, the Triumph is the best all round bike I have riden. I think most owners enjoy the unique sound of the triple as well as the pride in sitting on something manufactured in the UK.

    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.
