With regard to the Sprint ST; I would have to wait and see how the build quality stands up to a couple of winters before I would buy one. Those that I have seen have suffered very quickly, thinks like screen delamination, fork pitting and paint chips do not bode well for long term ownership, Triumph to their credit are sorting things out quickly under warranty but they really should have got stuff right in the first place, the panniers debacle is a good case in point.

yup, i'm with you there. but about 2k over my budget.... :cry:

i just want a bike that can handle all weathers nicely without corroding and will be comfortable and sound good :D the SV wins on the last 2 but the build quality is poor
