Daytona 1200

1995 Triumph Daytona 1200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Triumph's sport motorcycle platform, the 1995 Triumph Daytona 1200 pairs a 1180 cc (72 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 147 HP (107.3 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112.8 Nm (83.2 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 124.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Daytona 1200 measures 247 kg (545 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.6 HP/kg (1.68 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
