hello all,just bought my 1st triumph having previously owned japanese bikes.
last bike was a cbr600f and monday(27th june)i collected my 1st triumph(sprint 900 sport limited edition) and was really pleased by the handling for a bike of the size,its really very easy to handle.
the engine is simply fantastic,not so revvy as the cbr was but much more easier to live with in regarding to less gear changes.

i did plan to sell the sprint as i got it at a very good price but now i've changed my mind,definitely keeping this bike.

Welcome andybike,

Good move, keeping the Sprint. As you have noticed, gobs of torque is a real plus. And the Sprint Sport is a fine looking machine with it's up-sweep pipes.

Hang around and if you have any questions we're happy to help.

yeah i do have a problem,i think my neutral switch is knackered.turn bike off and on with bike in neutral,no neutral light no start from button unless i pull the clutch in.
sometimes it will start without the clutch pulled in.

also i cant seem to find any engine crash protection for my new baby and i was also wondering how far the bike will go on a full tank?

Mine will not start unless the clutch is pulled in either. Not sure why. It is a small price to pay for such a nice ride. I can't seem to recall ever seeing crash bars for one of these bikes. I suppose you could drill your frame and put some sliders on it with a custom install.
