I have owned lots of Jap bikes and BMWs and for long distance have stuck with my Beamers, and I never thought I would own a Triumph......that is until I threw my leg over a Sprint ST 2006 Demo......and then bought one(blue colour) and love it. What a fantastic bike to ride and it doesent matter what gear your in, because it just pulls and pulls hard....a great bike, and must admit the lights need to be improved.....other than that, I lovvve it.

Sean mate, welcome to the Trumpy zoo. This a great site with some pretty knowledgeable people Like DaveM & Russ. I hope you enjoy your Trumpy as much as I enjoy mine. I agree about the lights but there are some good fixes about.

Cya & safe riding Tankman

Welcome aboard gsbeamer,
rather a bold name for this site I must say! :-D :-D :-D I jest. :wink:

Yes the Sprint ST is a masterful allrounder, the triple mill being the gem at it's heart.

There are a lot of Sprint addicts here, I really love my '04 955 model, I never seem to get enough of it! :)

Lots of friendly folks and a wealth of knowledge here happy to help with problems etc.

The more you ride it I am certain the more you will appreciate it's unique character.

Thank you Tankman. there are others here that know a bunch more than I do though.

Cheers,
DaveM :cool:

the clear coat they use on the black and red models is more pourus and therefore is less areodynamic
blue ones good for an extra 5-10 mph
not sure about the green

I have to agree the blue is the one that really goes. Good choice on the bike and the color.

Good choice! Welcome aboard.

To clarify the fastest colour situation: apparently, the yellow ones were so fast that they discontinued them in case anyone graduating from lesser machines got hurt! So, blue (or is it red?) is the fastest colour currently in production. :-D

If that's the case I must have the fastest colour - aluminium silver ( discontinued for '07) :-D :-D :-D
Now, if I could only lose a bit of weight it would be even faster :razz:
