hi everybody, new to triumphs and this brilliant forum, just bought a sprint st 1050, 2007 so not new but tidy, first triple since a Kawasaki kh 250 in the seventies (different time and world). looking forward to a good summer.
Hi Nemesis and welcome to the Triumph Asylum. Sprint ST 1050 eh? Good bike that. Smooth, quick and comfortable.
am new to triumph to and triples i always had 4 pots super bikes. but i wish i had came to triples and triumph long ago the engine is great and loads of fun a lower rpm the super bikes have to much top end power and to use it you are doing stupid speeds and at cruise speeds are just lame being bent over the tank. lets face it super bikes are ment for a track not the public road
hi ive had a dl 1000 vstrom lovely torque from the v twin hoping the sprint is the same but a bit smoother.
Nice one Nemesis! Bitten by the 'triple bug' eh? There is no antidote as far as I know, just don't fight it and all will be well. Probably! Welcome in here, to a land where padded cells and straightjackets are in great demand. You have been warned!!!
Hi nemesis, welcome in and enjoy your ride. It is ok to be normal in this forum but there's very few of us!!
Beware, Nemesis! The definition of normal within these hallowed portals varies wildly and depends very much on who is doing the defining. Individually we all know, deep down, that we are completely normal. I, most certainly, am the epitome of normality. Sadly, no-one else on here agrees!
Welcome nemesis. Enjoy the bike... I commuted on one for three years in all weathers. Great bike, even greater engine. ATB Bob
