I had trouble picking a sport bike after riding a Harley. The fours revved too high. I almost went with a Superhawk, but then I found the right one and I knew it when I saw it - a 2002 Triumph 955i! Mine is one of twelve red ones I understand. The triple rocks! Its got the low end torque and more top speed than Ill ever need. I had two triples before - one was a 1974 H2 750 and the other a 1979 XS 750. Neither one comes close to the Daytona!
Mine it´s a 2003 grey model. With some nice carbon parts (like the centennary edition), triumph race can, seat cowl..etc... the bike is fantastic, and in the north of Portugal (Oporto) you never see other daytona...(there are 3 or 4) so you feel very unique!! I know what Iam talhing about, my previous bikes were one Hornet and 2 CBR!!!....Buy one, you will love that masterpiece!!!
I own an 03, Love mine! Had a few Japanese bikes before it, and they don't compare! Can't wait till the warm weather comes along so I can get back on it!
Beautiful bike and sound. I'm really considering buying a 2002-2006 model of one a 955i. Do you know how the bike is for taller riders? I'm 6'5", do you think I would fit it? I've read other reviews saying that it's really comfortable for riders above 6'.
Hi and thanks for the comment. One of the reasons I went for it, is it's size. I'm 6'4" and about 16 stone and it accommodates me very well. Mines an 06 by the way.
Wow i'm really happy I will be able to fit on one of these bikes. I like the bikes uniqueness and that it seems so much more relaxed than the japanese bikes which are generally smaller anyway. It also sounds and looks excellent. Had some trouble figuring out what 16 stone was because Australia uses kgs ;).
Haha! Sorry about the weight thing. Most of the UK is is stuck in the stone age (pardon the pun) when it comes to KG's.
Anyway 16 stone = 101 KG's but you probably know that now. Good luck if you decide to get one of these,they are unique and attract a lot more comments than the Jap bikes.
Is this bike comfortable? I've ridden a CBR900 SC33 before and it wasn't that comfy contrary to popular belief (then again it was VERY comfy when compared to the CBR929 hehe). I'm riding a '05 Bandit 1200 now but am planning to go back to sportbikes. Considered the '02 ZX-9 when I came across the 955i. I suppose they are comparable?

A very beautiful bike. I'm glad you didn't rev the whirly gigs out of the engine. Sounds great.
