As
an all-round sports-touring motorcycle the Sprint ST has all the right
ingredients.
A great deal of the STīs charm emanates from its distinctive, soulful and ever-willing, triple-cylinder engine. The 6-speed, 955cc, liquid-cooled unit is fuel-injected, naturally, and tuned for a well-rounded and seamless power delivery. And with a peak output of 118bhp (120PS) it's exhilarating in equal measure.
The twin-spar aluminum frame and single-sided swingarm also play a major part in the STīs appeal. As do the 43mm forks (adjustable for spring preload) and rear monoshock (adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping) as they ensure measured, reassuring handling whether two-up and fully loaded, or flying a solo sporting mission.
Add powerful, four-piston brakes up front and the STīs chassis provides a remarkable platform for a hugely fun, yet practical bike.
The extra details Triumph has invested in also make a big difference; the two-position exhaust silencer can be fixed high, giving maximum ground clearance for hard-cornering, or low to accommodate hard or soft luggage. The color-matched hard luggage was designed and developed alongside the original machine and other practical accessories such as a higher screen, touring gel seat, heated grips and an alarm/immobilizer.
With three classy color options available - Aston Green, Caspian Blue and Aluminum Silver - the Sprint ST remains the shrewd choice of any rider looking for a versatile, all-round motorcycle.
The Sprint ST is unchanged for 2004.
