Goodbye SV, hello......
2005 Triumph Sprint ST. Took it out for a spin yesterday and loved it. Comfortable riding position, handles nicely and smooth power delivery. Sounds pretty good too even on standard pipes, nice induction roar.
Pick it up on Sunday, can't wait! Will be sad to see the SV go though, shame I haven't the money or space for both.

Re: Goodbye SV, hello......
i've been considering an ST too, as i need to combine my weekend toy with my winter / high milage bike (soon to get a house with no garrage). does it feel very heavy on comparisun with the SV? I know t is heavier but do you notice the weight?

Re: Goodbye SV, hello......
Didn't feel anywhere near as heavy as I thought. With a pillion on, I could hardly tell the difference from on my own, which is the complete opposite of the SV. Will post some more comments when I've picked it up and had a bit more time to compare.

Re: Goodbye SV, hello......
Good choice of machine I've got about 13000 miles on my Sprint, it's not bad on fuel I don't verify the computer but it shows about 46 mpg on average. The bike's good fun, lots of grunt and comfortable I took mine from Stanted to Edinburgh the day after I picked it up
