Engineered by Triumph for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2000 Triumph Daytona 955 features a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 130 HP (94.9 kW) at 9,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 9,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 136.1 HP per liter and a 300 rpm working window between peak torque (9,600 rpm) and peak power (9,900 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 955 measures 198 kg (437 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,431 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph).
