I've owned this bike, a 2004 Special Edition, for 6,000 miles. So far in just a few short 5 months of riding season I am extremely impressed. The looks are amazing. Everybody likes it, especially with the single sided swingarm. Plus the exclusivity is great also. Everybody has a GSXR, CBR, ZX or R1. You can stand out from the crowd and keep right up with this machine. Power and torque... just hold on! I'm a little split if I'm upset they stopped production in 2006 with no plans for a replacement, but all in all, it's good because I have one and nobody else can! But seriously, if you have the opportunity to ride or even own this bike, you won't be disappointed.

I owned this bike for 3 years (an '04 S.E.) and it has been wonderful. Anyone who has a passion for motorcycles will ask you about it. On the flip side, every Jap bike owner will want to race you. Your wrists will feel pressure after long rides & my upper leg muscles tend to want to cramp (a tendency for all sport bikes). Feels excellent at highway speeds & passes on demand. If you let the battery run down, ghost trouble codes will begin to set, so be sure to keep it charged. Many sites state that the cylinder head will leak oil due to poor casting (lots of air passages that oil finds its way through). I did not notice this, but keep your eye on it. Also, the brakes are rather thin compared to other sportbikes, so warpage can occur more easily. These are all for the most part trivial problems & I wouldn't trade mine for any other. If you like to tour more, the Triumph Sprint ST might be a better suit. Much more ergonomically designed riding position. The Daytona 955i was discontinued in '06, so if you want one, find them now before they're all gone. I find the bike likes to overheat here in AZ, so engine ice is a good purchase.

I bought this bike about two months ago, to which I am very pleased. Well built, with a British touch. It's so nice to go somewhere there are 10,000 other bikes, but only one Triumph. Great handling, quick throttle response and very good brakes. Not that I would recommend it, but this bike is so easy to ride,... read more
I bought this bike about two months ago, to which I am very pleased. Well built, with a British touch. It's so nice to go somewhere there are 10,000 other bikes, but only one Triumph. Great handling, quick throttle response and very good brakes. Not that I would recommend it, but this bike is so easy to ride, that it could possibly be easy enough for a beginner. So if you do not feel that you would like be a part of the "Gixxer Nation", try a bike from a company that was making bikes when Mr. Suzuki was riding on training wheels.

If you are looking for a unique sportbike that is an alternative to the Japanese market yet still retains the reliability, look no further. These machines are grossly underated.

If you are looking for a unique sportbike that is an alternative to the Japanese market yet still retains the reliability, look no further. These machines are grossly underated. In my opinion, this is the finest "road going" sportbike. The power is tremendous (mine dynoed at 133hp)and the sound (high mount Triumph pipe) is amazing. GREAT MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
