Reviving one of Triumph’s classic names from the 1960s, the three cylinder Daytona T595 was launched in 1997 as an all out sports model to compete with the likes of GSXRs and Firelades, putting out around 128bhp with 75 ft/lbs of torque at 9500rpm.

This Daytona T595 has been part of a large collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection.

The T595 was the true inheritor of the famous ‘Daytona’ name offering more sports orientated performance than previous Triumphs. Presented in standard and original condition, including its carbon end can, this bike will surely become a future classic. Last run about 3 years ago it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with lots of old receipts, a couple of MOTs and a current V5C.

The name ‘Trophy’ came from the three ‘specials’ that Triumph built for the Italian International Six Day Trial (ISDT) in 1948, which went on to win three gold medals and the manufacturer’s team trophy. The Trophy name was extended to the TR6 Trophy and resurrected for the Trophy 500 (T100C) in 1971, which in turn was replaced by the Trophy Trail (TR5T) in 1973.

This Triumph TR5T is a time warp machine that has been stored since it was new, showing just 5 miles on the clock. It still has its sales ticket on the handlebars, showing a retail price of just $1,425.00 Not used or started since ownership, it has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles. Certainly one for the collector. This machine would need to be registered for use on the UK roads if intended for use. The current vendor purchased this machine from a UK resident over 10 years ago.
