Just an excuse for posting some photos of the gorgeous new Sprint ST. It even has three under seat pipes. I think I need a lie down now.

Aargh, photos!
Hmmm, now thats nice, I got my first ride on a sprint yesterday.
I want one now
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
unless you can prove it.

A gripe some people had with the old ST was that it was a 955cc and was possibly underpowered, just. Now it has a 1050CC engine it may just be a world beater.
It's definately down on the shortlist of my next bike.

Why does the seat stick up like that? Looks like an 3 year olds attempt at gluing the wings on a plastic hairyplane kit with quick setting cement.
Can't be good for a pillion or us older types to throw a leg over. (the seat - not the pillion)
Apart from that. It's certainly one of the more together designs from Mr Bloors contractors (just another thing he did wrong imho). I'd test one for ya WT and give it an unbiased opinion....
(and what poofta reckons the VFR is the worlds best all around M/C? Obviously never ridden a Mk2 leMans)

I'd have one. Mebbe.
If I didn't already own the world's best all-round sportsbike...
Actually, it was my intention to test-ride a Sprint before buying another bike, and when the vifferbabe saw one, she said, "Ohhhh! We should've come in here first!" But, she didn't like the colour (VERY IMPORTANT!) as it was British Racing Green. (I thought it was nice though.) Perhaps iffen she'd seen this nice blue one, it would've been a different story.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Quite possibly maybe. I need to win over Ms Biff though as the Bird is still less than six months old. Another 3 months and it'll be the longest I've ever owned any one bike. We'll see. But I'm sure Ms Biff has other ideas - like getting married (at last, nag, nag , nag) , buying a new car, feeding the children and other frivolous expenditures.

Bollocks to all that Biffy.
Aprilia Futura any day of the week ... the falco looks better still and has my fave engine configuration, but the futura all the way if comparing apples with Triumphs ...

You're missing the point here. This isn't just a beauty pageant.
Sports tourer. Luggage. Pillion. Comfort. Performance. Something somebody with haemorrhoids can ride.

Wonder if the nice wee man who owned the Futura with all the luggage carrying requirements i'd ever need and a bog load of K's on the dial at the very recent woodstock rally had missed the point as well?
In fact, if you'd checked out the aprilia site b4 posting you'd (probably) admit that the bike is positioned as ... guess what... a Sports Tourer.

Yeah, I'd have one, being a V-twin and all. If I didn't already own the world's best all-round sportsbike...etc etc. blah blah blah.
Actually, they had one of these in at Motomail when we bought the vifferbabe's helmet. If I recall, she didn't like it. Probably because it was silver (colour's very important, y'know. This is sort of a beauty pageant, y'know.)
... and that's what I think.
