Great Britain was one of the pioneers in motor production. The Triumph is one of some companies, which survived the crisis and could compete with Japanese producers.

The name “Daytona” came from the world of motor-sport, when American motor-racer Buddy Elmore won the race of Daytona 200 in 1966 on a special motorcycle Triumph Tiger 100. The Daytona T100R distinguished itself with the wheels of bigger diameter. It was equipped with two-cylinder four-stroke engine of 490 сm3 capacity.

The Triumph Tiger Daytona is a motorcycle made by Triumph from 1967 to 1974.
The 'Daytona' name was derived from American rider Buddy Elmore's win at the 1966 Daytona 200 race held at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. He achieved an average speed of 96.6 mph (155.5 km/h) on a 'works special' Triumph Tiger 100 and secured Triumph's first Daytona road race victory.

The 500 cc Triumph Tiger 100 Daytona (T100T) was developed by Triumph's Chief Engineer and designer Doug Hele and launched as a production motorcycle the following year. Based on the setup developed for the 1966 Daytona races, the T100T was fitted with a new cylinder head and twin Amal Monobloc carburetors. In the head, the valve angle was reduced by two degrees and the intake valve size increased as a result of testing; the valves on test engines had a worrying tendency to meet during the overlap period.
