I love Triumph, had a couple a Speed Triple and a Bonneville, was looking at a Sprint but ended up buying a VFR800 instead. Will be interested in other bikers opinions as I certainly fancy owning one in the future  |

Have got one and love it.....big open roads where I am though and clutch hasn’t been a drama but if riding around town can see it might be. Plenty of kick and I love riding it.  |

I've got an st1050, rode it all round the country and for a while used to use it to commute into London. Even used it when teaching cbt's though I never used it to demonstrate the turn in the road.... It has the turning circle of the ark royal. Love the bike too bits. It's never let me down other than a dodgy battery. |

I jad a sprint st 1050. Great engine. Shite headlights. Triumph luggage is also shite. Far too small, a helmet wont even fit in the topbox. If buying one, try for one of the last made. Upgraded headlights and sprint gt luggage.
I love my Triumphs, back to speed triples for me though. |

Had a 2006 Sprint st 1050. Loved it. Very smooth n comfy. Look out for bikes with charging problems as the alternator can burn out. Headlights are crap so changed to h.i.ds miles better, LED bulbs better still. Would I buy another 1.......yes |
