Default My New Bike - another Triumph Owner

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:-

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

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
