The Sprint has an incredibly smooth engine through out the rev range and will pull from 2000rpm it has a sweet spot from 5000rpm onwards.

The Sprint has a very healthy dollop of torque everywhere.
Once you've experienced this WIDE and USABLE power band I don't know how you could ever go back. It's a gem of a motor and make the riding experience whatever you want. You can cane it and you will be going MUCH FASTER that you would have thought or you can loaf it along in cruise mode and burn up the miles in comfort while always having the 6000+ rpm power always there to tap. Can you tell I think there is no better REAL WORLD bike engine. THIS motor is what almost everyone here fell in love with on the forum be it in Sprint, RS, or Speed 3 flavor. They are all decent handling bikes in their own right, but it's the 955i motor that give this bike it's soul and keeps you wanting more seat time.
