Triumph Sprint ST RFC



If anyone here has experience of the latest model, good or bad, I'd be
pleased to read comments.
I have itchy plastic, and I feel drawn to a black one, is this normal?
Universally loved on the Triumph forums. No known vices and I'd have one
if I could afford one.
That's the trouble, with a few accessories I'm looking at the thick end
of ten grand. Mind you, this will be the only new bike I've ever bought,
and it's going to get some serious touring....
(continues justifying wild extravagance to self....)
Bollocks, even the insurance isn't an excuse for backing out...
Getting a blue one on Saturday. I *wanted* black bu couldn't afford one
(as they only came out in January) and actually don't look all that in
the flesh IMHO.

Bearing in mind I went from a Speed Triple to a Bandit 600 to test the
Sprint:

Fast
Superb brakes
lovely engine
Comfortable for me (6'4" 13.5 st)
Good mirrors
Pretty pointless digital dash with analogue speedo and tacho. Temp gauge
reads right to left.

I'll be doing 600 miles a week, so I'll have a better idea in a couple
of weeks.
I'm off to the dealer in a couple of days for some tyre kicking and
riding, I'd like to hear your first impressions.
Mostly people on here will be hearing my impressions :)
My (well Anne's actually) only complaint is the pillion seat. It's too
high and she'd get wind turbulence.
Keep off the starches, then.
Indeed :-)
