FIGHTING through the traffic - Nürburgring Nordschleife motorbike - 2002 Triumph Daytona 955i

This time I took my Triumph daytona 955i (595n) to "Touristenfahrten" (10.05.2024) at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

It was a very busy day and it was hard to find a good line...
But it was still fun as always.

The "big" Daytona is hardly known anymore.
Is it a real super sports bike? I would say yes, but you can tell from riding it that it's not at the level of an R1 or GSXR etc. from that era. It tends to be a little bit unstable at higher speeds due to its steering head angle and low trail. The gearbox is also somewhat imprecise. And I had serious trouble with my boots in corners because of the "wide" foot pegs (also a matter of body positioning for sure).

Nevertheless, you can go faster on this bike than most people would expect (most people probably think it's a sports tourer). And I LOVE the specific triumph triple sound! One of the biggest pros of this bike.
