PLEASE can someone tell me what Triumph are doing about a 2008 ST Sprint for the UK market?

If any dealer reads this, why are you all so reticent?

Come on.... spill the beans.....

For one thing I heard they will be going to a metal gas tank.
I had problems with my plastic one bubbleing in places, replaced under warranty, maybe I wasn't the only one!

On Triumph's site we can see that the weight of the Sprint ST '08 is exactly the same as the '07 one, 462 lbs (469 lbs ABS). So I don't think they change for a steal tank.

The only thing they change is the windshield. It is about 1 or 2 inches higher.

Exctract from my dealer's mailshot:

Sprint ST

The Sprint ST receives the same headlight performance improvement as the Daytona 675 while the footrests have been modified and now employ a more durable rubber for prolonged wear. For 2008 the ST will also feature a steel fuel tank.

I'll take the better footpegs for my 07...
