• Adjustable Showa 45 mm fork

Compared to the T309 power is up 11 bhp, the tubular frame is far more obvious, the soon to become iconic "bug eye" headlights were introduced and the swingarm switched to a single sided design.

The bike is basically the Aluminium frame and brakes from the T959 Daytona but with a new 885 cc engine featuring fuel injection, while the transmission is moved up from 5 to 6 gears and the front disc is slightly larger.

The 3-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and a 190/50 at the rear.
