1998 Triumph Daytona T595, 955cc. Registration number R714 NWY. Frame number SMTTE502LGW065196. Engine number 065326.

The Triumph Daytona T595 was introduced in 1997 in an attempt by Triumph to tap into the sports bike market. Despite the T595 name, the bike featured a 955 cc displacement in-line three-cylinder engine designed in part by Lotus. Along with the other triple-cylinder Triumphs, the Daytona helped to establish the newly managed manufacturer and its distinctive and unique three-cylinder motorcycles.

The T595-model name concatenated the new engine series "T5" and the first two numbers of the "955 cc" displacement. In 1999 the bike was renamed 955i because the T595 model name gave the impression that the bike's engine displaced 595 cc.

Large-scale changes were made in 2001, with a complete restyling of the bodywork by designer Gareth Davies, a newly designed engine raising the horsepower to 149 with internal performance upgrades included Forged steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods, and forged aluminium pistons.

NWY is basically a one owner bike, being bought from Eddies in Leeds by Sean Simcock of York on the 26th May 1998 for £8,599, receipt on file, part exchanging an H registered Daytona. It was serviced by them at 581 miles and MOT's on file from 2003 at 1,799 through to 2018 at 2,302 miles confirm the current very low mileage of 2,338. Bought by our vendor from him 2018 it has remained in his garage.

Sold with the V5C, MOT history, receipts mentioned, service book and manual, it will come with a new battery and will require recommissioning before road use.
