These are the bikes that brought Triumph back from the dead, and in doing so established the brand with a record of quality, reliability and longevity that the previous marquee could only dream of. Over built and under stressed, it's hard to pick a favorite; the Speed Triple? The handsome and oh-so capable Trophy tourer? My pick is the Daytona; which seems to display a level of quality, finish and beauty that outmatches the others. As a sport bike it's extremely capable; as a British bike and as a Triumph, it's without peer- Sure, it’s a pretty heavy and even a bit top heavy, but the early T3/4s are very special motorcycles.

Anyone else found that they are really alive again & not just a 9 to 5er thinking that they shouldn't risk it incase they pull a muscle?
