ModelEngine displacement YearsNotes
Daytona 7507481990–1992Triple with short-stroke crank fitted. Aimed at Super sports market but more of a sports-tourer. Only circa 240 made. These are now very collectable.
Daytona 10009981990–1992Sports bike using four-cylinder version of the short-stroke 750 Daytona/Trident engine
Trophy 9008851990–2002From 1995 it received a completely new fairing, designed by John Mockett, standard fit panniers and a new exhaust system with low slung silencers to allow the panniers to fit.
Trophy 120011801990–2004Initially 141 bhp sports tourer, using 4-cylinder long-stroke version of modular engine. From 1995 it received a completely new fairing, designed by John Mockett, standard fit panniers and a new exhaust system with low slung silencers to allow the panniers to fit. Engine retuned to 108 bhp with improved torque.
Trophy SE12152013-Full touring motorcycle, sharing its all-new 1215 triple with the Tiger Explorer. Initially sold as a "basic" Trophy and an "SE", only the SE is currently listed.
Trident 750748Naked version of short-stroke triple-engined bike.
Trident 900885Naked version of long-stroke triple-engined bike.
Trident Sprint 900885Standard Trident, fitted with very effective twin headlamp half fairing.
Sprint 900885As above but, as model became well known in its own right, Triumph decided to drop the "Trident" part of the name. Facelifted in 1995 to include new side panels and tail light.
Sprint 900 Sport885Sprint with improved suspension, higher pegs and exhausts and lower bars. Probably the best mix of all parts from the initial modular range of Hinckley Triumphs.
Sprint 900 Executive885Sprint with panniers, exhausts and footrest hangers taken from the post 1995 Triumph Trophy.
Daytona 9008851992–1997A combination of the original 750 Daytona with the long stroke 900 engine and a slightly more acceptable riding position. Still too heavy and large to be a true sports bike, but a very charismatic and robust high speed, long distance, tourer.
Daytona 900 Super III8851994–1996A standard 900 Daytona with a Cosworth modified engine producing claimed 115 bhp, fitted with a few carbon fibre extras. The Daytona on which it was based was never a true sports bike, being too heavy and unwieldy to compete with current sports bikes. The Super III was an attempt to shed weight and increase power, but combined with a very high price, only served to underline that this was a step too far for the original modular design. These have become collectible bikes.
Daytona 120011801992–1999147 bhp 4 cyl Sports Tourer. Though discontinued in '96, it was relaunched as a "Special Edition" in '98. Only 250 individually numbered machines were produced. It featured with 6 pot brakes, black paint with gold lettering and gold wheels. One of the special plaques was damaged in production and, when another one was ordered, it came as "number 251" in error.
Thunderbird 9008851995–2004
Triumph's first attempt to revive a classic-styled motorcycle based on its heritage, using the original modular platform. Bike sported 18" front tire and 16" rear, detuned the 885 motor to 70 hp with better lower-end torque.5-speed until engine number 71843, then all fitted with 6-speed.
Adventurer 9008851996–2000Thunderbird with wider 19" front tyre, plus bob-tail rear fender similar to cruiser bike. Triumph's first attempt at a cruiser, using the modular platform. All from engine number 71843 are 6 speed.
Thunderbird Sport 9008851997–2000, 2003–2004Thunderbird with wider 17" tyres, plus "arguably" uprated engine, however the suspension and brakes are improved with twin disc set up. All 6-speed and 82 bhp.
Daytona T5959551997–1999The first true sports bike from the new Hinckley Triumph. Using an engine only very loosely based on the long stroke triple motor, it was much lighter, more powerful and used a unique alloy perimeter frame allowing the low centre of gravity and dedicated sports bike handling necessary to compete in this market. It also had an alloy single sided swing arm that was very similar to that offered by Ducati in their then current 916. The first production bikes featured a polished alloy frame, but these examples very quickly picked up a reputation for catastrophic weld failure on the top rail leading to the headstock. The frames were soon modified with a much larger weld on the top tube, though they were never supplied polished again, reverting to a silver/grey paint finish.
Daytona 955i9551999–2006The T595 was renamed 955 as it was too often thought to be a 600 cc bike! It gradually evolved with a new bodywork and improved engine mapping. It lost the single sided swinging arm at one point, but then reverted to a single sided arm around a year later. Model eventually discontinued and never replaced as factory felt that the high level of investment necessary to stay competitive in the large sports bike market wasn't justified.

Bonneville 790790/8652001-2007 790 cc, 2007 on 865 ccAfter 10 years of producing bikes around a modern engine, Triumph eventually succumbed to the need to build a true modern version of the classic Bonneville. Using a counterbalanced air and oil cooled parallel twin motor, it looked as close to the original '60's version of the unit construction Bonneville as it was possible to within current noise and emission regulations. In 2002 Triumph released a limited edition model to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's coronation. These collectable bikes were dubbed the "Golden Jubilee" and featured an exclusive paint scheme and badging.
Bonneville Bobber12002017-The Bonneville Bobber is a new Bonneville model introduced for the 2017 model year. It is a slightly modified version of the same 1200 cc engine introduced in the Bonneville T120 in 2016 which gives it a little less power but more torque.

Speed Triple 750748Budget Speed Triple using 750 Trident engine, only in production for a very short time. Using identical components to the 900 version, the only way to tell this model apart is the larger diameter rear wheel, with 6 spokes rather than 3.
Speed Triple 9008851994–1997
Triumph's very successful attempt at a streetfighter motorcycle, similar to how owners were "stripping down" modern sport bikes. Essentially a Daytona 900 without a fairing and fitted with a single round headlamp and conventional paired instrument pod. Originally sold with just a 5 speed gearbox, but later versions had the same 6 ratios as the 900 Daytona. Wildly successful and included its own racing series. Still top heavy and not a true sports bike, but one of the most charismatic bikes of the decade. Nearly always sold in all black, with orange being rare and yellow extremely rare.
Speed Triple T5098851997–1999
Replacing the original 900 Speed Triple using, logically, the frame, motor and much of the running gear from the new T595 sports bike. Again, there was no fairing, although this time it had twin headlamps in chrome pods to follow the "Street fighter" line, rather than the earlier "cafe racer" appearance. Much lighter and easier to handle than the earlier 900 Speed Triple it was equally successful, though the appearance of the new engine was probably better suited to being hidden behind a fairing.
