2008 Triumph Sprint ST Motorcycle reviews

The Sprint is s superb bike in a class of it's own. I changed the seat, but otherwise left it stock. It handles two riders without sacrificing control with just minor preload adjustments. The chasis is very stable, acceleration more than adequate for demanding road duty, brakes are solid and strong, and it flys around a racetrack to most onlooker's amazement. It is the lightest, and I believe most fuel efficient of the sport touring class bikes. Quality of build is excellent. The only thing that could be improved is the range the low beams cover. They do not project out far enough. High beam is excellent. The Dunlop Roadsmart tire is a perfect match for this bike and far better than the Bridgestone 020. The Roadsmart handles better, wears evenly, wears long, holds on the race track, and is sure-footed in rain. The Sprint is a bike that doesn't just ride well and look good, it excels in every area critical to good motorcycling experience. Show less

Rode from Massachusetts to Alabama mostly backroads and some interstate. The bike performed excellent. The only problem was the bad check valve in the gas tank sucked in the side of the tank because it wouldn't let air in. The dealer repaired it and replaced the tank. Show less

Bought a beautiful 08 VERY RED Sprint ST in February 09. Eight weeks later, now that spring is here, have close to 1,000 miles. Bike cuts easily through switch-backs, slices through turnpike and interstate straight-aways, and draws crowds of young and old alike with its distinctive looks and styling. Converted to TOR exhaust at 500 mile service. Use Alaska sheepskin pad to decrease burn during long rides. Will probably also change or modify the windscreen, for more chest and shoulder protection at 70+ mph speeds, and the stock seat. Using a Chase Harper tail bag that sungs with bungies onto the side racks and will expand, when needed. Not using the hard bags since they decrease my ability to cut through congested car lanes. Wish there was a stock rear hugger so less crap on the shock and underside. VERY pleased with the smooth linear power, quick start ups in cold temps with the EFI, superior looks, and sport touring capabilty on this excellent machine. :) Show less

This bike is a great all around bike. It has great performance like a sportbike but has the comfort and storage of a touring bike. It feels at home either on the open road or in the twisties. It has great wind coverage and gets good miles between fill-ups. Show less
