THE 2008 TRIUMPH SPRINT ST REVIEW

One of the stars of the Triumph range is the all-new Sprint ST. For 2008 the Sprint ST has been redesigned from the wheels up. It’s been through a major evolutionary process, every part examined, improved and refined.
The Triumph Sprint ST was originally introduced in 1999 and has been a consistent best-seller for the British manufacturer. The last update was carried out in 2005 and Triumph’s designers and product development team have listened to the feedback provided by their customers in order to make subtle changes to their popular machine, tweaking the Sprint ST to further enhance and improve its ride, handling, performance and versatility. As a result, Triumph have installed a new steel fuel tank which allows for the use of magnetic tank bags. New improved headlights have been fitted which feature new lenses that offer much improved light distribution. In addition, the new footrests feature tougher, longer lasting rubber.
Always amongst the class leaders the Triumph Sprint is up against a great deal of competition from all the major, mainly but by no means exclusively, Japanese manufacturers. This new version for 2008 brings the Sprint well and truly up-to-date.

Sports tourers have always been regarded as a compromise between comfort and performance, yet the new 2008 Triumph Sprint ST would seem to offer both in abundance in a single electrifying package. Like its excellent predecessors, the new bike is more than capable of transporting you and your pillion partner down the autoroute to the south of France in comfort while being equally at home carving through corners and bends on twisty mountain roads.

A new, supportive, spacious seat and efficient rider and pillion ergonomics assist in providing excellent long distance touring ability while the well-designed chassis and superb balance of the machine ensures that handling is well up to the mark.

The 2008 Triumph Sprint ST is powered by an excellent 1050cc fuel injected, three-cylinder engine that is able to provide vast reserves of torque and horsepower. Peak power has been increased to 125bhp (127PS) at 9250rpm while maximum torque of 105Nm (77ft/lbf) arrives at only 7,500rpm. The engine is fitted with the manufacturer’s own Keihin ECU which offers much improved mapping for faster starting, cleaner running and enhanced fuel economy.

The character of the three-cylinder layout remains unfettered but the engine has a seamless polish that provides a perfect counterpoint to the lusty power delivery. The Triumph Sprint ST has an engine to revel in, to explore and, most of all, to use to the full. It is this powerplant that makes the Sprint ST so special, its punchy torque and acceleration making quick overtaking manoeuvres a synch. Its sweet six-speed transmission, fitted with an anti-backlash gear, allows the rider to exploit the engine’s power delivery very effectively.
The Triumph Sprint ST offers a superb ride, brilliantly poised and simply superior to anything else currently on the road. Because of it's slightly softer springing, this triumph soaks up the ruts and holes found on local streets with consummate ease allowing for an assured and confidant ride.

Triumph haven't overlooked the bike's stopping credentials either. The Antilock Braking System (optional) has been designed to boost control under hard braking and works on both the front and rear wheels independently. There is plenty of safe stopping power available as well as lots of control and thanks to the awesome control of the front forks, the tyres are planted firmly and resolutely to the tarmac. High quality, 43mm cartridge-style telescopic forks, adjustable for spring preload, are used for fine control while the rear shock is remotely adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping. A pair of powerful, four-piston brake callipers mated to 320mm floating discs provide superb stopping power, a two-piston calliper and 255mm disc slow the rear wheel.

The Triumph Sprint ST’s impressive specification also extends to its looks. It is a stunning bike to look at yet is totally functional with neat touches everywhere, like the chrome infill bars and front indicators set in the mirrors. Styling cues, such as the triple front headlights and triple exit exhausts, LED rear light, complement each other fluidly and the Sprint ST has a cohesive air of a machine that mixes function and form perfectly.

Despite the bike's obvious sporting looks, the Triumph Sprint ST is a tourer and consequently should provide a comfortable ride over long distances. Both the seat and the controls have been designed to make the Sprint ST one of the most comfortable machines in its class. New instrumentation includes an LCD trip computer with average MPG and speed functions, amongst others. Fuel capacity is a sensible 21 litres affording infrequent visits to the pump.

For those that need to carry significant amounts of luggage, they can choose from colour-matched factory-designed hard luggage (available as an optional extra), which has been specifically designed for the ST. A host of other accessory items are also available.

The Triumph Sprint ST has never been a bike to make compromises. It hasn’t been designed that way. It’s a sports bike that covers distance, a touring bike that takes corners in its stride. It possesses a truly usable array of power, poise and all-round practicality. And this total competence is no lucky event. Triumph, over the years, have arrived at the winning formula for creating well-balanced motorcycles and the Sprint ST has proved an immensely satisfying machine for the host of riders that enjoy its abilities. Available in three striking colours, Pacific Blue, Graphite and Tornado Red, the 2008 Triumph Sprint ST looks to be a shrewd choice of any rider looking for a versatile, comfortable, all-round motorcycle.

TRIUMPH SPRINT ST REVIEW

One of the stars of the Triumph range is the all-new Sprint ST. For 2005 the Sprint ST has been redesigned from the wheels up. It’s been through a major evolutionary process, every part examined, improved and refined.

This fantastic new bike is set to re-write the rule books. Sports tourers have always been regarded as a compromise between comfort and performance, yet the Sprint ST would seem to offer both in abundance in a single electrifying package.

The 2005 Triumph Sprint ST is powered by an enlarged 1050cc three-cylinder engine producing 123bhp at 9250rpm, but where this unit really shines is in its delivery of maximum torque of 77ftlb from only 5,000rpm. This means that you always have a huge amount of grunt available from virtually anywhere in the rev-range regardless of what gear you are in. Its fuel-injected, three-cylinder motor has more of everything that makes it so usable – more torque, for effortless drive in any gear and more horsepower for when it’s needed. Peak power is an impressive 125PS @ 9,250rpm while peak torque of 104Nm arrives at 5,000rpm.

And that's another bonus too as Triumph have mated this engine with the sweetest new gearbox making gear changes as smooth as silk. It features a remote gear change linkage and a clutch fitted with an anti-backlash gear. The character of the three-cylinder layout remains unfettered but the engine has a seamless polish that provides a perfect counterpoint to the lusty power delivery. The Triumph Sprint ST has an engine to revel in, to explore and, most of all, to use to the full.

There is no point having the sweetest engine and gearbox unless the chassis is also up to the mark and yes, Triumph have got this just right too! The Triumph Sprint ST offers a superb ride, brilliantly poised and simply superior to anything else currently on the road. Because of it's slightly softer springing, this triumph soaks up the ruts and holes found on local streets with consummate ease allowing for an assured and confidant ride. This all comes courtesy of a sublime Triumph chassis. Having redesigned the beam frame and featuring a shorter wheelbase of 1454mm, Triumph have created a fabulously composed yet fast-steering motorcycle, with an even greater range of ability. The Triumph Sprint ST pulls effortlessly from a low rev range and builds hard up to 6,000rpm. The power really kicks in then and the bike continues to charge right on up to 10,000rpm. If you've got the nerve and the right track, the Triumph Sprint ST will top out at an impressive 161mph. All this accompanied by a rasping engine note from the three-piped silencer positioned under the seat. The Sprint ST is certainly a machine that is equipped to get your adrenalin pumping.

Triumph haven't overlooked the bike's stopping credentials either. The brakes are carried over from the previous model but this is no disadvantage. There is plenty of power as well as lots of control and thanks to the awesome control of the front forks, the tyres are planted firmly and resolutely to the tarmac. High quality, 43mm cartridge-style telescopic forks, adjustable for spring preload, are used for fine control while the rear shock is remotely adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping. A pair of powerful, four-piston brake callipers mated to 320mm floating discs provide superb stopping power, a two-piston calliper and 255mm disc slow the rear wheel.

Review
bought from a Triumph dealer, immaculate and with 1800 mile on it, i had a belly pan fitted which I think balances the styling out.Used it for 2 years as a pleasure bike and a bit of commuting and loved it. Great engine which caught a couple of Ducatis out on the trip home through Essex and the brakes were the best I have had. Wrist ache was a problem, and the roads around my home are mainly A and B roads, so a spin could turn into 3rd gear traffic processions which just got painful and boring unless I wanted to do lots of risky overtaking. Got it serviced at a main dealer and was very happy with it. Taking my teenage son on the back was a pain, you had to remove the seat hump and it had no grab rail, so the wrist ache was even worse when braking.
Sold it when I realised I was doing 129 down the main bypass without noticing and thought the whole thing was mad. Bought a commando, but that's another story!Bumped into a guy who was looking at sprints in the local Triumph dealer when I was buying an exhaust bolt that had come off- the only 'fault' it had. a quick exchange of phone numbers and he came round after work and bought it-Splendid!
Would buy another Triumph, but the bonnies are boring to ride and the Rocket is a tank and too dear for me. Shame they stopped the t'bird sport thing.

I returned to biking after 30 years and bought a Honda Varadero 125 to get me going last October (07) until I had time to take my test in July. I passed, and had bought the Triumph in readiness. It's the Sprint RS.

I decided to go for the sports/tourer style because after doing 5k miles on the Honda with its Enduro style riding position I found my lower back suffered over longer journeys.

I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort of the different riding position and have found even after 150 miles I can get off feeling good with no aches. You have to consider this when you get towards 50!

I have no experience on a big bike to compare to, but I have found the Triumph to be everything I could want in a bike. I have driven many fast cars over the years, but nothing compares to the sheer raw power as you open it up. 0-60 in under 3 seconds is a blur, then you change into 2nd gear! Oh, and 55mpg is an easily acheivable average.

I've now done over 2k miles since my test and the only problem has been the voltage regulator failed - this was a £260 bill but on a 5 year old vehicle you can't expect everything to be perfect. Otherwise, not missed a beat.
I have Avon Storms on and the grip is superb - look out for reviews on them.

Motorway riding is a breeze, country lanes sheer fun as it rolls in and out of the bends and town driving easy with a slim profile and plenty of grunt. I use it in London on a regular basis and it's never hard work.
Also, my girlfriend's happy on the back - as so many sport bikes have nothing much more than a pad for the pillion to perch on.

Great looks, great handling, great performance - just how much better can it get?

Proud to have bought British? I should say so!

Triumph Sprint 1050

Not a bad bike, but not enough to recommend it.

It's a sports tourer, with free hard luggage, so is a stable image in a solid pair of mirrors too much too ask? Or how about a 1st gear short enough for low speed stuff, or that 1-in-4 start? And does it need that snarling overrun cackle and pop, more suited to a moody Italian street-bike? Finish seems a bit flaky too.

On the plus side it's comfortable, even (err, so I'm told...) at double the national speed limit, stable, perhaps too stable, but stable none-the-less, pokey, and not at all un-pleasant to ride. Adjustable levers let you get comfy and confident. Everything's.. ..okay.

But sadly, spend a just little more elsewhere and you can have brill. Triumph addicts only? Maybe the new model is better?

Got the RS Sprint after 15 years on Harleys. Brilliant. All the mags rate it as a budget sports bike, but its much more than that. It goes like stink and handles with it. It obviously doesn't compete with the likes of the Jap offerings as far as top speed or track prowess , but do you need that? I've toured with it 2 up around Europe with throwovers and a rack and it never was fazed at all . On top of that a steady cruise up through the centre of Spain returned about 50 mpg. The only bad points was that the finish wasn't as good as Honda or BMW, but then mine had done 32000 miles in 5 years.

I decided to purchase the latest version of the Triumph Sprint ST because I was so pleased with my previous model. It could only be better again with its new 1050cc triple engine which promised more grunt and Triumph had worked very hard on the new styling which I think is fantastic with the three pipe outlet for the exhausts and the front fairing headlight concept.
I guess you could say they milked the triple theme but you can't blame them. The triple motor is still largely a virtually unique feature with the Triumphs. It was a complete refresh and virtually a new bike but still kept faith with the original concept.
The motor was much lumpier than the previous one with a hoik in the torque figures and just a bit nippier. I bought mine a late clean second-hand example before it came equipped on a special deal with the panniers included which I was glad of because like I said before I don't really like hard luggage, and in an every day situation I wouldn't really need them.
It still had the single sided swing arm which is a design feature I love and the underseat pipes gave it a skinny feel though it felt a bit longer in terms of overall dimensions. Not sure if it is but it feels it.
The seat also feels skinnier but more padded. A bit more of an uncomfortable pillion seat and rear peg position but I use it for commuting mostly in the summer and longer trips, very rarely needing a pillion perch so I'm not bothered about that aspect, plus it gets alot of attention which makes me feel proud to fly the flag.

It does under steer a bit maybe because the overall length is slightly longer but in a straight line it feels stable and keeps up with just about any other bike on the road other than some of the banzai attitude litre class sports bike riders if kept on the boil, and the noise it makes is just great, real character!

The mirrors work ok, widely spaced enough to see what is behind with a bit of help by dipping the shoulders. I'm old school I suppose so I tend to try and glance behind me when required anyway; they also contain the front indicator units.
Another thing I like about these characterful British bikes is the paint and finish; it's not fussy but excellent quality with classy decals, not the garish stuff you tend to get on Jap bikes.
The petrol consumption is a little higher but bear in mind it’s a litre+ bike. When I finally manage to get out and about abroad later this year I'm sure it'll settle down to something slightly more affordable, but we can blame the government for high MPG costs, The prices take the piss if you ask me. Fuel injection helps which is uprated from the previous model.

I've got a Triumph alarm on this one which cost a few bob but I'm assured its good quality and so far it works fine though it did drain the battery once when I left it on its ownsome when I went on holiday once. I bought an Optimate battery charger which solves the problem because the Maintenance free batteries are an awful price for a pukka quality one. I wouldn't fit a cheap Chinese battery on my baby.

Because of the EU meddling one headlight stays on all the time so I've had another relay fitted which balances them up, it looks a bit odd otherwise and the safety reasons are debatable, another little freedom of choice eroded away. I keep meaning to have a rant on the forum about petrol costs etc so look out forum users; I expect I'm not alone though.

All in all it’s a great bike that I could whole heartedly thoroughly recommend to anyone if you want a sturdy, well built excellently finished and quintessentially styled bike which will hold its re-sale value for many years. It's coming up for its first MOT next year but no worries there I should think it's been dealer serviced and runs great.
A Pan European is doubtless a great bike but I've not heard great things about the 1300 models on the stability front and the 1100 is a bit long in the tooth now as is an FJR1300. A Beemer will cost more, the styling of them is a bit odd I think and other than that not much else comes close for me though I sheepishly admit to liking the look of the new Kawasaki GTR1400 but I don't do too much touring lately. I'd like to have a go on the new Triumph Tiger, which looks like a user friendly everyday machine that cuts the mustard.

Take a Trumpet out for a spin if you can, buy British, you won't be disappointed.

The first Sprint ST I owned was the first 955i model and I reckon Triumphs first real plunge into taking the Japanese factories head on with an effectively middleweight touring bike. I had owned a number of Honda VFR750's prior to this purchase and as far as I could work out this Triumph was aimed squarely at the V-four Honda.

I loved the Honda; you could do most things on it, scratch, tour especially and commute. The only pain I found was just how juicy it was and how prone to rot the front manifold pipes were.

I decided to buy the Triumph because the Triumph rep was gaining momentum and I always vowed to buy British if they could offer a bike that measured up to the Japanese factories. I put my money where my heart was and I wasn't disappointed.

It was kinda rounded compared to the Honda but I quite liked that, It was a triple not a V-four but it seemed punchy enough and the top speed I would say was marginally better than the Honda with the handling on a par. Ok it wasn't a sports bike but with a considerate set up and a little aforethought it handled pretty damn good.

It had a single sided swing arm which are not noted for their light weight but they do look the bollox. The muffler pivoted on a knuckle to route it lower if you opted for the rather expensive but colour matched pannier kit. I think it also aided in wheel removal etc.

The riding position was great and mine had a taller screen fitted when I bought it. Tyres and rubber fitments were readily available, I stuck with the Bridgestones as I was told they were an original fitment. I can't really fault any of the bike other than the dodgy fuel gauge, which whilst returning more miles to the gallon than my previous Honda VFR showed pretty much empty all the time, this was fixed on a factory recall and never gave me any bother after that.

My mate blasted the entire length of France on one once which I must admit helped me to decide to buy the bike. He rode from Montpelier to Sussex including the short ferry trip in just over thirteen hours. Apparently it was at night and raining most of the way but he couldn't speak too highly of it in this sustained very high speed thrash back home from his trip to the south of France. He only stopped for petrol every 100 odd miles. You can get panniers and top box's from the factory but I don't like permanently fixed luggage and stick with my trusty throwovers.

I can definitely recommend this bike to anyone thinking of buying one. The finish was very good and there are still some excellent examples out there. I sold mine after about 18 months, saved my dosh and then recently bought one of the new 1050 versions which is something else again. Read my other review.

Ok, you lot read this and weep, I bought a Triumph 900 Sprint, had some probs but that was wear & tear, the bike I got holds to the road like a train on tracks, when I start the beast she roars like a lion, telling me she wants to go, with £35 to fill her up she will go on & on & on, I tested the speed factor and with the helmet flip back I could just make out 124 mph, and then the brake handling was excellent with the twin disc setup up front, the bike is pure BRITISH and the lion is proud! Oh yeah I like looking at sports/racing bikes, but this is for the biguns, (its a grown up thing).
Overall I have not experienced any problems this biker is proud to be british
