Ditched My Triumph After Only 3 Months!

I just purchased my 2005 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 this spring. I was at the dealer last week and they offered me a ride on a demo Daytona 675 after they caught me drooling over it. The bike is simply amazing with plenty of power on tap, regardless of the rpm range you happen to be in. The handling was crisp and the bike was incredibly easy to flick through corners. I can only imagine what a rider who is completely familiar with the feel and limitations of the bike can do. After this purely amazing 20 minute ride, I was sold. I'm getting my Daytona today! I don't see one area of disappointment with this bike.

I ride a lot, as the unfortunate Chicago weather limits the riding season. I had concerns about the rider position and comfort, which was the reason for my Sprint purchase. Though brief, I found that after 20 minutes I had not one complaint with the rider position. I do feel, however, that the bike offered such an extreme level of excitement that any aches that may have been present would have certainly been overshadowed by the ridiculous grin on my face.

In order to acquire my Sprint, I flew out to Colorado and rode it back to Chicago. I was certain I wouldn't sell it...until the amazing Daytona came along. I'm so excited and have been reading the threads in this section all week. Can't wait to twist some wrist!
