2002 Triumph Sprint ST 955i - SV650.org

Heorot · 19-09-15, 09:58 AM

I've been on holiday and not riding so I have been browsing the for sale ads for a possible second bike. I saw a 2002 Triumph Sprint ST 955i for sale for £2395 with just under 30,000 on the clock. Does anyone here have an opinion on this bike and is the price about right? I don't normally like the gearbox whine on Triumphs, but my heart is starting to overrule my head on this.

Great bike, the late and much missed Dicky Ticker had one and I rode his.

All day comfortable, he used to get 65 mpg on his but he only ever did 65 mph. Handles well, great weather protection, plenty of power.

The only critism I have is if you have particularly long legs the inset in the tank and fairing where your legs are supposed to sit is a bit cramped. If you don't have long legs that's irrelevant.
