1998 Triumph T595 Pictures

The 1998 Triumph T595 motorcycle helped Triumph compete with Japanese bike makers. With its sleek design and powerful engine, this model soon became Triumph's best-seller.

Sleek bodywork combined with a strong 955-cc, water-cooled, fuel-injected triple to produce a competitive sporting mount.

Tapered tail was typical of Triumph T595 styling.

Miminal seat size and padding and a small rear storage bin were standard sportbike practice.

The 1998 Triumph T595 speedometer went to 180 mph, the tach redlined at 10,500 rpm.

The only thing carried over from the Triumphs of old was the stylized logo -- and even that was changed some.
