The Triumph Daytona was a sports motorcycle made by Triumph from 1991 to 1996 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England. The range comprised three-cylinder and four-cylinder powered motorcycles.

In 1993, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Daytona 1200, a sports motorcycle that packed a tuned version of the 1,180cc four-cylinder engine used by the Triumph Trophy 1200.

In the aesthetic department, the bike packed standard features, such as a twin round headlight unit, a medium-sized windscreen, a full fairing, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a side stand, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

Underneath its full fairing, the Triumph Daytona 1200 had hidden from plain sight a 1,180cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by four carburetors, delivering an output power of 147 hp at 9,400 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
