on them, let alone for" road use. A 30minute test session with Bridgestone technicians brought them back to an optimum setting of 32 psi on the front and 36 on the back, which was then standardized for everyone else at the test. So, until Triumph reprints its owner's manuals, less is more with the Daytona T595. Once we got the pressures right, the Bridgestones proved to be a big ingredient in the Triumph's outstanding handling package. The fat 190/50 rear really grips well, delivering excellent traction out of tight tums, while the front 120/70 has about as much grip as a slick. What we have here is a company that's come of age. The T595 Daytona is as benchmark a bike in Triumph's Bloor-era rebirth as the first 851 "ottovalvole" was for Ducati a decade ago, or the GPZ900R Ninja was for Kawasaki. Not only is the new Daytona's technology thoroughly modern and its performance exceptional, its styling is distinctive and striking (especially in the "5tronthium Yellow" of the test bikes) with the trademark face of the new-generation Triumphs' front ends giving it a strong personality different from anything else on the market. The quality of the build also seems excellent, too, judging by the various test bikes selected at random. Time will tell if Triumph can build the bike in sufficient quantity to meet demand - but knowing John Bloor, they will - and if reliability of an all-new engine and chassis package can be maintained to Triumph's own stern levels. But, right now, from where I sit, I'm proud to be British. The T595 Daytona is a motorcycle the equal of or better than any other sportbike made anywhere in the world. Now think back 15 years to the dying days of the Meriden cooperative, British bike fans: did you really ever think the day would come when British would again be best?
