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

Had a test ride on one when I thought of getting rid of my Trophy 1200, the GT was nice but I found the clutch too heavy for town riding. A lot of bike for the money.

Someone said to me today about them feeling top heavy but a friend had one and he would have another tomorrow. We'll update I am of over across the water to lancaster to pick one up so will see if I like it on the ride down to the Birkenhead ferry lol.

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'm soo happy it was an instant click with the bike, comfy, sporty, silky smooth power. My only gripe is the mirrors

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

Lovely bikes, quite nippy, awful headlights at night. Only real issue is on a hot day my legs and arse get too hot because of the underseat pipes.
