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
I have been riding dor 35 years and have rode just about all of it. For the past 25 years I was on a 1973 and a 1977 750 Bonneville. I then went to the Thunderbird in 2001 and a Trophy in 2002 and a Rocket in July 2004. Each Motorcycle has its place and the Rocket is in first place.
Its speed and handling are at the top of the scale. I bought this in PA before moving to CA and have no regrets. It's just as much fun to ride at 35 MPH as it is at 135 MPH. What else can you ask for? This is not a beginner's bike. When you grab a handful of throttle you better know where it is pointing because before you know it, you will be there like a roaring frieght train. It is everything I need for now and the forseeable future.
Thank you again Triumph, you are truly a living legand.
Upgrades/Accessories: Oil temp gauge, windshield, saddle bags, Touring back rest and lugage rack. I think I am done other than maybe a custom paint job.
