Triumph Daytona 955i
The Triumph Daytona 955i was introduced in 1997 as a successor to the Daytona 900, featuring Triumph's iconic 955cc inline triple-cylinder engine and marking a significant step forward in the brand's modern sportbike lineup. It received notable updates in 2002 with revised styling, improved fuel injection, and enhanced chassis refinement, competing directly against Japanese superbikes of the era. The 955i remained in production until 2006 when it was replaced by the Daytona 675, and is celebrated for its distinctive exhaust note, strong mid-range torque, and uniquely characterful triple-cylinder powerplant.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Coolant Hoses
The Daytona 955i is known for coolant hose deterioration, particularly the hose running beneath the fuel tank. Always inspect for cracking or leaks before buying, as overheating can cause serious engine damage.
Unique Triple Engine
The 955cc inline triple-cylinder engine delivers a rare combination of torque and top-end power that neither twins nor fours replicate, making it a genuinely distinctive sportbike experience that enthusiasts still seek out.
Stable Collector Value
Well-maintained examples hold value steadily due to a loyal Triumph following and limited production numbers. Low-mileage bikes from the final 2006 model year command a noticeable premium over earlier versions.
