Is the Triumph Sprint boring?

[trump-lady]

Hey there. I too am an owner of a Triumph Sprint. Similar to you I wanted something I could tour with as i was close 2 a 2 week tour of the North Island. I didnt want a cruiser (ya cant lean em) wanted something sporty but didnt want to have to ride smothering the tank for 300 ks. My bike is perfect for me. I need pannier bags to put all my clothes in. It handles well and is forgiving (Im a newbie) Ive riden gxers harleys....but very happy with my bike. Shes heavy not as quick but very comfortable on long rides. The trimuphs are like females though....... tempremental engine wise and bitch without warning. Simple things electronically will stop the engine (safety feature) and will require going to the shop. Mine died after riding 3 hours to the west coast from chch with out warning. Sensor light shut down the bike completely. But hey if I didnt work for my bike what the hells worth working for . hehehehe

Still got the ST1050 & took her out for a 800ish k trip on Saturday & had a ball. Roads where wet for the first 40mins of the ride & my mate that was following me on his Tuono reckons the Bridgestones where pumpimg the road dry.Met up with the Ducati owners club from up North @ the Wharepapa Rockclimbing cafe & rode back to the Naki via Mangakino,Bennydale & then down the coast. Must say the ST did very well and was very comfortable. I would definetly reccomend one of these machines but just not for me for where I am @ present !
