Check out the amazing new Sprint GT 1050. Five years after the introduction of the popular 1050cc Sprint ST sports tourer comes this new model. Greater practicality and more emphasis on the 'touring' aspect of 'sports touring. It offers a unique proposition of performance and practicality. Performance from the uprated 1050cc triple with 130PS on hand. Practicality - the GT's byword - with 117 litres of lugguage, ABS brakes, u-lock, built in rack and grab handle, and a 200 mile fuel range. All in glorious high definition, as you'd expect from Triumph.

Triumph Says New Compact, Long Stroke Triple Powers Unreleased 2011 Adventure Bikes
The Rocket III has carved a unique niche in the clone-like cruiser market and exists
in a class all its own with its striking looks, stunning performance and incredible
specification. But while it may be the largest capacity production motorcycle in the
world it’s designed first and foremost to be ridden. Good lock-to-lock movement,
seamless fuel-injection and a low center of gravity combine to make low speed
maneuvering surprisingly easy, while the steering geometry and overall length give a
securely planted and confident feel. Added to this is generous ground clearance,
making the Rocket III a truly useable machine that will tour highways, cruise streets
and hustle turns with effortless ability.
The word awesome is often overused in connection with motorcycles. Except when
it’s used in connection with the Rocket III. Then it’s barely adequate.
