– 2001 Triumph Sprint ST

The Sprint ST’s combination of sporting performance and all-round ability has firmly established it as one of motorcycling’s very best sports-tourers. Its pace and agility are matched by long-distance comfort and versatility, resulting in a bike that shines in every roadgoing situation.

Performance is provided by a 955cc three-cylinder motor that is tuned to give a maximum of 110PS (108bhp) with a broad spread of torque. The fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 12-valve motor produces peak torque at just over 6000rpm, making for effortless low-rev acceleration as well as a sharp turn of speed when revved harder.

Handling is exemplary, thanks partly to a twin-spar aluminium frame that is both light and supremely rigid. In conjunction with top-quality suspension and well-chosen geometry, this gives the ST light, easy steering yet also maintains exceptional high-speed stability even when the bike is heavily loaded.

As well as giving a stylish look, the Sprint’s light and rigid single-sided swing-arm allows the pannier system to be tucked in tight to the rear wheel, minimising width. Triumph’s purpose-built luggage system was designed to fit the ST from the outset, and thus could be made capacious

while also blending in with the bike’s styling.

Ergonomic layout is sporty yet practical, providing a large degree of comfort and protection for rider and pillion while also facilitating high-speed control. The sports-tourer’s braking ability is also of the highest order, thanks to twin 320mm front discs plus four-piston calipers that deliver huge power with excellent feel at the lever.

It all adds up to a bike that provides a remarkable blend of abilities, reinforcing Triumph’s status as a manufacturer of high-class sports-touring machinery.
