The 2014 Sprint GT is not just about raw power; it is packed with features designed for comfort and convenience. The aluminum beam perimeter frame provides both rigidity and reduced weight, while the Showa suspension system—featuring 43mm cartridge forks and a monoshock—offers an excellent balance of performance and comfort for both the rider and passenger. The bike's ABS-equipped braking system, with double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, instills confidence, allowing for precise stopping power in all conditions. Additionally, the small windscreen offers just the right amount of protection without sacrificing the sporty aesthetic, making it an ideal companion for any adventure.
