Time for a new bike, getting a Sprint ST

cstumpf750 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2008

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm getting a new Sprint ST in a week or so. I've been riding a 97 Honda VFR750 that I bought new in 97. It has 113,000 miles and is pretty worn out. I'm hoping to get a good deal on a 2007 Sprint ST in black. That is if there are any left. I'm hoping the new sprint will serve me as well as the VFR has.

Oh and I haven't had a car for the last 8 years, so that explains all the miles on my VFR. Still don't and probably won't for quite some time(have a car). I'm too impatient to give up lane splitting.

Good luck! It's a great bike. I saw a black 07' at Ft. Myer's Triumph in Florida this afternoon. It looks great in black.

Hi cstumpf750,
and welcome to the Sprint forum.

Good luck on your bike hunting, there are plenty of folks here that know a lot about these bikes who are also willing to help and share their knowledge.

Thanks, that's why I joined this board. I've been lurking for quite a few months. And I've got a lot of my own knowledge to share too.

Welcome to the forum cstump. LOts of good reading here, some real whizzs with the technical stuff, and some real cards with the funny stuff. I am sure your New Sprint will more than out preform your old VFR. Enjoy the grins

You are making a great choice to move to a ST - they are everything you want ----------- lol, I have just got my Black ST 12hours ago. lol

So I`m still fiddling with the switches and pannier locks, and listening to the disastrous horn sound, and designing in my head the new Zumo bracket and and and...................scouring the Forum for info, info, info.
