Triumph Sprint St

[triggrhaapi]

Ok, so some of you are aware that I'm getting a motorcycle soon, so I've been looking at different bikes. Of course I can't afford a Sprint ST brand new, but I have been considering it as my second bike in a few years. It's a water cooled 3 cylinder 1050cc engined bike with optional ABS brakes and all kinds of good sport touring goodies. I really don't need to say much, let the bike speak for itself.

In terms of performance, it's only mildly more powerful than the Bike I'm getting, a mid 90s CBR900RR. It's also mildly heavier, and probably won't be as handling savvy as the Honda either, but it's not a sportbike either. It's longer and heavier and it's designed to be comfortable for long relaxing rides as well as fun for canyon carving and the like.

[german-speed-demon]

Damn sexy trig...and it's probably got more toque than...*wait* WTF am i saying. There's no such thing as too much power. Awesome bike.

[amitpatel]

this would be nice

[triggrhaapi]

The bike already does 0-60 in around 2.8 seconds and standing 1/4 in 11.26@112. It's plenty fast as is.

[Live_the_Curves]

drooooooling, if only I had the balls to ride a bike.

Not trying to hate on you Trigg, but you crashed a car with a lot less acceleration than that in the canyons, a bike that is that fast and powerful? I understand that you probably wouldn't ride too fast, and what not, but i'm just saying. Wouldn't want you to crash on that thing might fall off a drop or something crazy.

Trigg, if you drop that bike, I'm taking it away from you. It's pretty light... just needs to be lowered a bit for me... :P

Most people don't seem to like the looks of this specific bike, but it has it's history. I prefer the futura or mille myself... but like I said, I like the bike for its roots yah.

[4evrwyntr]

Below is the RSV. I couldn't find a pic of the Mille R on their site... probably because they stopped producing it
