Just because you want to do a bit of touring, it doesn’t mean all excitement drains from your life and you’re condemned to ride a bike with the personality of a wet tea towel.  Oh no.  This is what you do:  Take one lusty, 125 bhp sports bike, mate it with a mile-munching, ABS optioned tourer and get … the Sprint ST - a brilliant touring sports bike.  To pull this off, we matched 1050cc of torquey triple, a sweet handling chassis and top notch suspension to a relaxed riding position and more creature comforts than sports bikes ever get.  Result?  A great looking bike you can ride all day without breaking your wrists, developing terminal cramp or anaesthetising your posterior (that goes for the pillion too – we’ve made their seat even comfier).  The balance tips in favour of two-up touring on the 2007 bike with lockable, quick-detach panniers as standard.

Since its launch in 2005 the Sprint ST has won accolades from the press and public alike. For 2007 the package gets even better.

The Sprint ST’s 1050cc fuel injected, three-cylinder motor is the very essence of what makes a Triumph special.  It has huge reserves of torque for linear effortless drive in any gear and great reserves of horsepower for when it’s needed. Peak power is an impressive 127PS (125bhp) @ 9250rpm while peak torque of 105Nm (77ft.lbf) arrives at just 7500rpm.
Enhancing the engine is a six-speed gearbox and clutch fitted with an anti-backlash gear.  The character of the three-cylinder layout is unfettered but the engine has a seamless polish that provides a perfect counterpoint to the lusty power delivery.  The Sprint ST has an engine to revel in, explore and most of all use to the full.

The Sprint ST has proved itself a class mover – in every sense – and is now even better.  It remains undoubtedly the shrewd choice of any rider looking for a versatile, all round motorcycle with a sporting edge and real sense of style.
