My new Triumph Sprint ST...
Picked it up today... A Triumph Sprint ST. First impressions, I Love it! I never realized riding a motorcycle could actually be comfortable! It is powerful and has lots of torque as well. I'm heading out to the beach this week, but can't wait to ride again!

I was hesitant about it but I actually like having the analog... Besides, in the right hand screen, I can get continous MPG or avg speed, max speed, trip timer... and more

Now THAT sounds like fun then - although I'd end up staring only at the MPG to see if I can best my highscore.

Congratulations! I'm going to want long term updates...

How much does it weigh? Does it carry the weight high?

Definately heavier than the 636 and more top-heavy. The brakes as Bwhip had mentioned about his are a bit mushy. Once I get back, I'll re-bleed them. The sales guy warned me that these brake pads would take a few hundred miles to bed in

Anyway, I really enjoyed the ride!

I've been really partial to that bike. I'm thinking it is a VFR killer.

That's very nice. Could be my next sport/tour. Also looking at the Ducati ST3 or 4. I like the Sprint in red but that's only with ABS?

Out of the love it or hate it camps, I definately love it. Beautiful bike.

I still haven't seen one out and about, or in person, but love the modernistic triple touches.
