My New Bike - another Triumph Owner

[mattSV]

Chopped in my SV1000 for a new Triumph Sprint ST ABS this morning. Took it out and did about 130 miles today, absolutely awesome even though I was limited to 3500rpm (ish ;)) for the first 100 miles.

So comfortable to ride, the triple engine sounds damn good already, can't wait to hear it once I can get it up over 7000 revs.

A few piccies:-

[the_lone_wolf]

wrong cc, but right colour, looks like you're setting a new high altitude top box record there...

;)

[dizzyblonde]

About 3:30, on my way home - ended up in Godalming, then came back via the twisties to Farnham, then a blat down the A31/A32, down to Hillhead/Meon & then back home - so comfy, could have stayed out all day :D

[chompy]

haha i wish i could have done the same, o well Sh*t happens

[ThEGr33k]

Always liked the look of the 1050 Spring ST's :)

Hope you enjoy it!

Sweet Matt, it's a nice bike, test rode one bacl to back with the new speed triple and the 1050 engine suits it far better, was looking at one or the tiger, but as my mileage is now limited and I prefer naked bikes to be honest I ruled both out, but if I was still into mile munching I'd have one.

The Blacks nice, the other colour I like is the burgendy, but I don't think they do that colur now, although saw one today down at lilly's

Not a worry, he's come from a big bike so doen't need one of the smaller training ones first.........................;)

if this is a training bike then slap on the L plates and hand me a hi-viz...:cool:

Matt,The one thing I have found is the windage[side] when you have all the luggage fitted. The fairing and the luggage present quite a substancial surface area so perhaps you will find it pays to just use the panniers
I have the old 955i and found the top box getting in the way when mounting/dismounting from the bike

[Scoobs]

Fark me. That things got more wardrobe space than my house :wink:

Nice one fella.

[ethariel]

Mmmm im getting pushed more towards the ST than a Pan or a Blackbird for mesself.....

And back on topic - Very nice!

[fizzwheel]

Enjoy your new bike Matt, certainly picked a cracking weekend to collect it :cool:

[Gazza77]

Good choice. ;)

[kwak zzr]

humm luggage! nice bike :)
