1998 Triumph Daytona 1200 SE Motorcycle

By the early 1990s, Japan had locked up two critical vehicle markets, small cars and fast production motorcycles in North America. It was imported from the UK in 2022 and is now on a clean and clear Missouri title.

British motorcycle firm Triumph was determined to change that with the Daytona 1200 SE, the company's fastest and most powerful bike by 1993. They took the Trophy 1200's water-cooled, 16-valve engine and applied it to the new bike. Five years later, the company decided to celebrate its success in this market with the Dayton and made 250 examples.

This is the 248th such bike out of that run and is believed to be the only Triumph SE in the United States. Made in Hinckley, England, this bike's black paint and gold trim are in overall very good order. The bodywork is straight and solid. This bike has had only one previous owner.

The Daytona range uses a modular liquid-cooled double overhead camshaft (DOHC) engine design in a steel frame with a large-diameter backbone design.

This bike has dual horns and it rolls on Michelin radials, size 120/70ZR17 on both wheels with cross-drilled rotors. It has a 6.6-gallon fuel tank, rides a 59-inch wheelbase and a dry weight of 470 pounds.

Powering this bike is a 1.2L, water-cooled, 16-valve four-cylinder engine with dual exhausts. Backing the motor is a six-speed manual transmission.

The bike seats two people, has a curved windshield, dual handgrips and key start. If you're looking for a rare European motorcycle that's not a BMW, you should check out this Triumph two-wheeler. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and try this Triumph for yourself!
