Launched in 1997, gradual development and continual improvements have kept the Daytona reasonably competitive.

Powered by Triumph's second-generation fuel-injected engine - more refined, quieter and with lighter internals - the Daytona breathes easier, runs cooler and revs higher.

The new lightweight chassis has won much praise for its first-rate, confidence-inspiring handling thanks to the combination of shorter wheelbase, steeper steering geometry, lighter twin-sided swingarm, lightweight 17' front wheel and multi-adjustable suspension.

For 2002, a striking third colour choice - Acidic Yellow - is added to the popular Caspian Blue and Aluminium Silver options.
