Positioned in Triumph's sport motorcycle lineup, the 1998 Triumph T595 Daytona pairs a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 130 HP (94.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft), 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, 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 T595 Daytona 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.
