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.

I have owned several bikes throughout the years, (Harleys lately), and ridden many others. Without a doubt, this bike handles everything you can throw at it. I had it lowered 1 inch for my comfort, but other than that it has the factory set up. The acceleration is impressive and evenly balanced from a stand still up through 120 mph, (there's still much more left, but finding an open road for this isn't as easy!). The bike slows itself without braking, but the brakes are quick and effective. I haven't tried to lock the front brake up, (to test the ABS), but it definetly works when stomping on the rear! Then you attach the two rear bags, (in about 15 seconds total time), and you have plenty of room to take a weekend trip comfortably. You don't even feel them back there, and other than making the bike a bit wider, you'd forget they are there. I still own my Harleys, but I can say that this bike is my favorite for running errands into town!
Upgrades/Accessories: Tank bag, two way communication system, heated hand grips, throttle lock, Kuryakyn accent lights, and alarm.
