The Triumph Daytona 600 is a name given to two very different motorcycles.
The first model was a sport bike manufactured in 1983 by Triumph Motorcycles out of their Meriden factory. Although simply a shorter-stroked, twin-carburettored version of their earlier 650 cc Triumph TR65 Thunderbird, it was exhibited as a new model for their 1984 range at the 1983 motorcycle show at the National Exhibition Centre. Unique for that year's home market models, it featured rear set foot rests and a plastic 'ducktail' rear end over the short chromed rear mudguard from the Triumph T140 TSX. Although sporting a front disc brake, it retained the drum rear brake of the TR65 Thunderbird. Two prototypes were made, one electric start for the show, the other a kick start for testing; the latter, the only one left after the Meriden factory closed in 1983, was from 2010 at the London Motorcycle Museum.
The new Triumph company based at Hinckley, which was started after the original Triumph company went into administration, has made a far better known Daytona 600. It is powered by a liquid-cooled 599 cc four-cylinder in-line engine and was superseded by the Daytona 650 from 2005.[1]
