Triumph Sprint description
|
Selling my excellent condition Sprint after three years of trouble free use. Low mileage for its age with just 21,360 miles. Never crashed, never down. Zero flaws that I can think of, beyond a few tiny (and I mean tiny - like invisible from 3 feet away) chips in the paint here and there.. Has had all scheduled services completed and has the latest ECU map. The factory recall to replace the rear shock linkage has been performed. Oil changed religiously, and has only seen Motul 300V full synthetic oil and factory Triumph filters during my ownership. Oil changed and Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires installed this spring with about 2000 miles ago.
Tastefully upgraded as follows: Corbin seat Shock has been revalved and re-sprung by Tmod (found via Triumphrat.net forums - highly recommended) Stiffer fork springs (1.0 kg/mm) EBC-HH brake pads front and rear Factory heated grips Sparkbright LED battery monitor CNC adjustable clutch and brake levers (generic chinese things) Handlebar risers will be included, but are not installed - they raise the bars a little more than an inch Patch cable thingy should you want to re-flash the ECU yourself w/ Tuneboy. All factory cases (side cases and optional top case) in the following condition: Previous owner sold the side cases and mounting hardware. I purchased brand new cases and hardware and installed them. They are in perfect, as-new condition, except that I have not purchased the color matching infill panels. The top case and its mount are also in perfect functional condition, but the case has some cosmetic flaws. I walloped a pothole or asphalt patch at speed one day and the top case went flying off and suffered some road rash. Like I stated, everything still works perfectly, but there are some scuffs and scratches. I'm very conflicted about selling this bike! It has been an absolute blast to ride, and has performed flawlessly since the day I bought it. It is comfortable enough for all day touring, yet extremely capable in the twisties. My wife and I have done 300 mile days on it, with only minor complaints from the passenger compartment. The three cylinder mill makes the most entertaining racket. It growls at 3500, howls at 8500, and pops and burbles like a hot rod on throttle overrun. Gets almost 50mpg if I'm light on the throttle, and will do an honest 145mph two up. The Triumph triple really is one of motorcycling's great engines. Finally, I think it's an absolute looker! The only reason I'm selling is that I'm looking to find something that is a little more capable on dirt and gravel. I am selling this locally as well, so this listing may disappear at any time if a buyer shows up at my door Thanks. |

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013
Tue, 27 Nov 2012There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show. We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion. The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling. Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R. Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.
The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!
Tue, 02 Jun 2009According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run. Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake. Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.

Big magnetic bags
Wed, 23 Mar 2011Gone are the days of tank bags held down with flapping Velcro straps and frayed bungee ropes. This is Triumph’s official expandable 30ltr tank bag. It’s designed specifically to fit the 2011 Speed Triple and attaches by a simple strong integrated magnetic base.
