In 2001, the English motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph TT600, a middleweight sports bike that debuted in 2000 and continued production until 2003, when it was replaced by the Daytona 600 model.
The Triumph TT600 was designed to enter the highly contested 600cc market and compete in the world's most competitive motorcycle class, the fuel-injected category. In addition, the TT600 was the first in-line four-cylinder machine manufactured by Triumph.
Compared to the previous model, which had two significant issues, such as choppy throttle response and bad fuel mapping, making the engine lose two to three hp in the upper powerband, the 2001 model came without any of those problems.
Besides that, the 2001 Triumph TT600 was identical to the previous model without any significant modifications. The bike's full fairing was available in three color schemes: Jet Black, Tornado Red, and Aluminum Silver.
In addition, the bike was available with several accessories, including an alarm plus an immobilizer, a tank bag, throw-over panniers, an aero windscreen, a color-matched passenger seat cowl, a luggage rack, a grab rail, a carbon fiber tank bag, front and rear mudguard extension kits, and a 34PS restrictor kit.
The 2001 Triumph TT600 packed the same 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the previous model, boasting 110 hp at 12,750 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 11,000 rpm.
